Well so much for writing something every day!
Quite a lot has happened since my last post of June 2012, still not working although I am still a STEM ambassador, now a code club volunteer running two clubs a week at a local primary and secondary school.
I also trained as a Code Club Pro volunteer to help train teachers about computers to give them some background for the new computer curriculum. That unfortunately has not taken off in my area, contacted six schools several times and have not acquired any bookings.
I have become addicted to Raspberry PIs with at the moment three of my own, two B's and one B+ with a dead model A. Do not drop things on a raspberry PI, they tend to get squashed!
The main problem I am finding with the raspberry PIs is the number of projects and uses people are coming up with. This means I never get to complete one!
One PI is sitting waiting to be fitted I to a bird box so I can install it in the garden and take time lapse photographs. It is fixed with the noir camera and a Bright PI.
The second is mounted on a Dexter Industries BrickPI card and lego robot. I have got the robot working via a Nintendo controller or from the web. I have been looking at opencv and simplecv for camera recognition. There are lots of posts on this, Codor, Pietar and Dexter industries, I keep flitting between each of them. Currently struggling to understand how to send an image back to a web site.
Well, hopefully it won't be three years to the next post.
