Philip Organ, a 12-year old, year 7 student from Birmingham. He has recently been captured by the Pokemon Go<\/em> craze and wanted to bring a bit of Raspberry Pi know-how to the game. So, he took a Pi, added a couple of screens, a camera module and\u00a0a keypad and then\u00a0constructed a laser-cut case at his local Makespace. His Dad, Spencer, admits to helping him a little – by driving him to the Makespace and, of course, being the Bank of Dad – but apart from transport and money, it’s all Philip’s own work!<\/p>\n

What you do is to type in the number of the Pokemon into the keypad and then the large screen displays a picture of the chosen monster. The smaller screen is used for menu selection. You can read more about it on the UK Tech Reviews blog<\/a>, see the code on GitHub<\/a>\u00a0and you can see Philip giving\u00a0a talk at CamJam about the project below. Great stuff – keep on\u00a0making, Philip!<\/em><\/p>\n
