Thanks everyone, it was good to see you. Next one should be in mid-September.

Giving this thread a bump, Oxford Raspberry Jam tomorrow evening, Oxford Hackspace, http://www.oxhack.org

Is there a report anywhere on the previous event? How did it go? I'm hoping to attend, if work allows! I don't think anyone did a report, sadly. It went pretty well though for a new event, I can't remember offhand the exact numbers but there was a group of people there from the earlier incarnation ...

Announcing the next Oxford Raspberry Jam. Wednesday 4th of May, 7pm, Oxford Hackspace, Oxford Centre for Innovation, New Rd, Oxford OX1 1BY http://www.oxhack.org for venue info. Format: show and tell, talk about your Pi, meet other Pi-heads. A small donation to Oxford Hackspace would probably be app...

Announcing another new product, this time a 100mW transmitter board for your Pi. Licenced radio amateurs only I'm afraid. So far it's achieved 10MHz WSPR spots as far away as the USA, though this will get better as the radio propagation improves through the spring. http://shop.languagespy.com/collec...

Thanks! Though in fairness I should point out that I have yet to test that they work on a Pi 3.

Wild cheering erupts as the prospect of all Language Spy kits working straight away is raised!

Thanks for that.

thekeywordgeek

Since I have just bought one from our friends at Pimoroni, I am guessing that all embargoes have expired and it is now OK to talk about the Pi 3. And I'm sure a lot of people will be doing just that. Could I make a request for an important bit of hardware info from anyone in the know at the Foundati...

A quick notice of an addition to the range, a low-pass filter board for the Pi. For use by licenced radio amateurs wishing to use the Pi as a transmitter. http://shop.languagespy.com/collections/frontpage/products/pi-lpf-low-pass-filter-kit-for-the-raspberry-pi This turns the square wave output from...

Yes, it works for me.

OK, thanks. So it ain't the distro. Time to get my hands dirty...

Jessie killed my GertVGA!

I followed the install procedure on a freshly created Raspbian Jessie image on my Pi 2, no joy. Will dig into fault-finding tomorrow as it's late, but has anyone else got their GertVGA working on Jessie?

A bit more info, now we are closer to the event.

I'm pleased to announce the launch of my range of electronic kits for the Raspberry Pi in amateur radio and other applications. Launch products for the Pi are an RF breakout board and a direct conversion receiver. The RF breakout board allows experimentation with the Pi as an RF source or transmitte...

thekeywordgeek

Absolutely. This script is a level removed from all that though, the clock code is in the C of freq_pi.

thekeywordgeek

It's worth announcing here, I've written a Python script that provides a GUI for Jan Panteltje's freq_pi command line signal generator. It turns your Pi into a variable frequency RF oscillator using the GPCLK0 output on pin 7 of the expansion connector. https://github.com/JennyList/LanguageSpy/tree/...

If anyone is interested, though this Kickstarter campaign didn't succeed I've put the kit into production and you can buy it here: http://shop.languagespy.com/collections ... spberry-pi

Absolutely, and indeed it's exactly the same venue. It's all going down at Oxford Hackspace. But Code Club is a very different constituency to a Raspberry Jam. Even if there is some crossover between the attendees - and now the organisations. I for instance have very little interest in teaching kids...

EDIT, 2016-03-02: Next Oxford Jam is on the 4th of May 2016! It's been an awfully long time since we had a Pi Jam in Oxford, so I have a proposal. Oxford Hackspace have finally taken possession of their new premises, courtesy of Science Oxford in the basement of what used to be Macclesfield House, ...

<looks/> No, it wasn't that. I guess we've all had a point at some time or other when we've seen a web page with exactly what we want on it but neglected to bookmark it. I'm sure the page I saw is out there, I'll keep looking. It's amusing how quickly Google have indexed this thread and put it in th...

I can already do that, that is produce a list of defined constants for each processor. I can even identify the processor, and select a base address accordingly. That's not a huge coding challenge. Already done it, as it happens. But the library I saw was specifically an abstraction library for ident...

thekeywordgeek

I'm aware of those two, but yet again I'm not looking for a general purpose GPIO library.

The library I found was a Broadcom one, and its purpose was simply to abstract identification of Broadcom processors and return base addresses etc. Has anyone seen that one anywhere?

thekeywordgeek

Earlier this year I was porting some code from BCM2385 to BCM2386 and I did it the lazy way, changing hard-coded variables for peripheral base etc. At the time I found a Broadcom library that abstracted the process of getting these addresses, promising myself I'd come back and do it properly later. ...
