Nick regales us with his tales of implementing a variant of the Freifunk/B.A.T.M.A.N. mesh network algorithm on a 2 microcontroller.

RS232 Board for the Pi

Featuring Ben Clifford

Ben added an RS232 port to his Pi using the UART pins, rather than taking the easy route of buying a USB adapter. What? Why? How?

The BBC Micro

Featuring Ben Clifford

Ben just got his old BBC Microcomputer out of storage and has been hooking it up to his raspberry pi. He'll talk about how the BBC was part inspiration for the Pi, the hardware he needed to make them talk, and a project to use the BBC as a more modern viewdata terminal. If he is feeling...

Raspiscope

Featuring Tony Smith

Tony is getting up at stupid o’clock to present from Aus. This time he is going to tell us about replacing a faulty analogue camera on a microscope with a PiCamera. Will present in fine detail!

How I Turned My Gas Meter Smart Using My Own Software, A Raspberry Pi & Some Other Bits

Featuring Chris Priest

The energy industry is pushing smart meters as the solution to a myriad of problems. They seem like a great idea - real-time understanding of your energy usage, no more intrusive visits to your front door from the meter reader, better management of energy across the country - but the bigger...

Boiling Nemo

Featuring PJ Evans

In the course of recent history fish have been relatively untroubled by the Internet of Things, but it’s time for that to change. Armed only with a soldering iron, some JavaScript and ideas above his station, PJ will show us how you can build a simple IoT device and how the whole enterprise can...

The evolution of a Raspberry Pi robotics controller

Featuring Neil Lambeth

Neil has designed the Redboard+, a Raspberry Pi robotics hat. He will be talking about how it evolved into the current design, and showing how to control motors, servos and of course robots!

The Babelboard- Rapid prototyping with Open Source h/w and s/w

Featuring Romilly Cocking

The Babelboard is a simple Open Source connector board that allows you to connect Grove sensors and Adafruit wings to anything with a Pi-compatible header including the Jetson Nano. There's already a huge library of easy-to-use Python software available, so you can connect and drive...

Testing embedded Python apps

Featuring Romilly Cocking

This is a bluffer's guide to automated testing; when you need it, when you don't, and how you can do it.

Introduction to Anvil – Web Apps with Nothing but Python

Fully Automated Acoustic Monitoring in the Tropical Forests of Borneo

Featuring Sarab Sethi

For a long time scientists have relied on the information contained in animal vocalisations when assessing the biodiversity of an area. This is especially true when working in tropical forests where visual surveys are limited by high canopies and dense undergrowth. However, manual surveys are...

Sony Watchman

Featuring Nick Reynolds

Nick Reynolds is back with another quirky project, this time to hack a Sony Watchman, which you need to be over a certain age to have ever heard about. Looks very interesting.

Websocketd

Featuring Romilly Cocking

Static web pages are (sometimes) useful but boring. Dynamic pages are much more fun. We'll look at Joe Walnes's websocketd. If you can write a program that prints stuff, and copy simple javascript, websocketd will let you turn your program into a dynamic web page. Websocketd runs on many...

Surface mount PCB design

Featuring Mike Turner

Temperature control with Raspberry Pi and Akka

Featuring Trond Bjerkestrand
