My #RaspberryPi Anniversary
Not much to report this evening apart from a quick mention of my second Pi-versary. Two years ago on this date, I received my first Raspberry Pi (see the picture of the box above!). I didn’t have a clue what…
The RasPiO Analog board for the #RaspberryPi
Alex Eames (from RasPi.TV) gave me one of his new boards to take a look at. It’s called the RasPiO Analog. It gives you the ability to add analog inputs to your Raspberry Pi. It’s essentially a GPIO plugin prototyping board…

Experimenting with the Easy Pulse and #RaspberryPi
As part of my Picorder project, I bought an Easy Pulse from Embedded Lab (via Elecrow). It’s a red PCB with a plugin fingertip sensor (see above). The example code you can download is in C and my Picorder code is in…
Cheap-as-chips ultrasonic SR04 distance sensor – #RaspberryPi compatible
I’ve just been browsing a little (waiting for the coffee to kick in!) and come across some SR04 distance sensor modules at Hobby Components. These are ridiculously cheap at £1.75 (inc VAT) and are very close in price to those…
