The Zero, apparently released on the 28 february has some very low power properties. As IoT with low power is "in", how does a teacher deceide what to use for teaching? micro:bit, raspberry pi, arduino, others or all of them. What is the deceiding factors for this question, that is also being asked ...
And in the meantime, I think I will print out this document as it looks interesting. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/ELC_IoT_NA_2017_JasonKridner_EducationalRobotics.pdf Edit: The link is of no relevance to the topic and apparently what is coming soon In denmark, we don't...
Actually, and of course my brain cell is getting older, I think the tea comment was even before the final production run.
The old forum is maybe somewhere, safe and sound in the Internet celler.
In the dark dark ages of pre-release Pi, everybody said, not gonna happen In the lighter times after release Pi (no number, it didn't have one then so non now), people wanted it to make tea (Liz remembers) Roll on some years and the new kid in town, micro:bit - the contender? nope - the lesser choic...
I have now called my device "Dalek". Link to questions to the children are in danish, but one of them is why I called it Dalek :) https://s9.postimg.org/gls5j6c8f/dalek.jpg https://www.facebook.com/CodingPiratesSilkeborgLydOgLys/photos/a.1101882616526203.1073741829.1083763055004826/1129091813805283/...

Just a note. After moving into a new house with a lot of work, my time was limited.
Now the house is finished, my ALDI car just died...: so no input from me
I hope that to just use the rx/tx port of the Pi to comunicate IF they can be programmed to the correct rate.
Still moving house as the roof had rot and this caused a LOT of work
One could expect a mother board for the pi with a 9 pin d connector to which one attaches a cable to the obd-ii interface in ones car. One can then connect to the car via a terminal program from the pi to send simple messages to the car using "at" commands. http://elmelectronics.com/DSheets/ELM327DS...
One can do what one wants with the interface: now there is at least 2 "working" on an integrated circuit for the Pi. On the question of what benefit the STN (or original ELM) device is that it creates an "at" command set interface with the OBD-II. The device does all the grunt work with the OBD-II p...
Pi received today
Ordering parts from rs soon
Quick RS Parts list that seem to be what is needed
693-5937 opto
628-8931 diode
135-847 resistor
135-910 resistor
Found a straight male : 6811654 http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/headers-pcb-receptacles/6811654 Similar products give interesting other types. I still haven't found a 26 female (straight or otherwise): feels like real life :mrgreen: Edit: just found a 6811351: seems ok http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/he...
Sounds/Looks good
For my project, I will probably only use a Smart Phone for display.
My first hurdle is almost over: deciding how to interface ALDL to Pi (then I have to order stuff from RS).
I tried a pencil scotch of interfacing ALDL to a Pi using opto. May try it if nobody says "stop" https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1Pu8JRgWfwMZTRpN25iNzJhVUk Link to above https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1Pu8JRgWfwMZTRpN25iNzJhVUk Total Doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oP0ANMaYlTKHFj4K1dLy...
This is a place holder for the actual interfacing of ALDL to Pi. (Hope I can edit the post latter) Until I find out what are the correct components to use between the ALDL and Pi ...Suggestions ...? Another subject of research is if another GIO pin can be programmed for UART, leaving the "standard" ...
Included is a "webshot" of reference ALDL 8192 baud Hardware used to interface to a normal Serial Port, for example on a PC. As the Pi has tx/rx it is possible to "directly" connect to the ALDL port. "Directly" but not really, need some form of protection chip between the Pi and ALDL, Opto- coupler?...
