I'm having trouble getting this VGA adapter to work with these instructions. Pretty sure I soldered it correctly and it all meters fine. Can anyone confirm that it still works with the latest firmware and kernel? I'm not sure if it needs to be installed differently with the new device tree system. T...

I understand it's possible to run multiple displays at once. So you could run the new touch screen and a normal HDMI screen together. Has anyone tried this and how does it perform? Similarly, I've read you can use the HDMI in addition to a VGA adaptor (e.g. Gert 666) on the GPIO DPI. Can you use 3 s...

I've volunteered to run a Code Club at a local primary school. The school that was looking for a volunteer has yet to get back to me so I'm after some advice. The club starts off with Scratch and moves onto Python. There are materials and handouts provided. I guess there isn't a good reason to use R...

Thanks. These look good. I'm just starting with a code club (when the school eventually gets back to me) so will probably try the official resources first. Will be nice to have some Pi focussed activities though.

There is a new version of the display-o-tron: https://shop.pimoroni.com/collections/r ... o-tron-hat

The joystick (as used in the sense HAT) has been replaced with capacitative touch buttons.

I've had a go with my Sense HAT and am liking it so far. I'm using a pibow coupé case so didn't need the spacers in the end as they don't fit it. I've written up my experience of kicking the chips here: https://unop.uk/dev/raspberry-pi-sense-hat These are some good official resources I found useful:...

I've had even less luck with the Digital Signage sample app. It builds and deploys but the video doesn't work.

Good advice. The shutdown takes ages on Win 10 so make sure that you wait for it to finish.

Like this?

Hi guys, I'm starting a new project called Computing 4 Kids Education (C4KE for short). The aim is to help children learn computer science skills. Probably using the Raspberry Pi and physical computing to get them engaged. I've set up a basic website at http://www.computing4kids.com but there's not ...

I recently came across a post on " Experiences using Go as a Teaching Language with Young Programmers ". Not used Go myself but it looks interesting. Python seems to be the most popular. I am just concerned that beginners will have trouble with the significant whitespace. It gets difficult if you mi...

I've not had any issues although the first boot takes an incredibly long time. Not sure what it's doing. Subsequent boots aren't that much slower than Raspbian. I'm using a 32GB class 10 micro SD card (but only an 8GB partition as that's the image size). It's a cheap one from China and the performan...

As others have said, Window 10 IoT Core (nothing like desktop Windows) only works on version 2 of the Pi. The one with the larger CPU (with the Broadcom logo on) and the RAM underneath. It can be tough to tell the different versions apart so I've written an easy identification guide . I've also post...

If you're considering audio projects using a Pi then keep in mind that the built in audio quality (of all models) is not great. I found this out when trying to make a dedicated device for my favourite internet radio station . You'll probably want a HiFiBerry , USB sound card or an IQAudIO . Which i...

I did some very basic benchmarking on Win 10 IoT and it seems a little slower than Raspbian. If the video isn't hardware accelerated it's not going to have great playback performance. The full write-up is here: https://unop.uk/dev/windows-10-iot-core-public-release-for-raspberry-pi-2-install-and-fir...

I wrote up a similar project I did a while ago: https://unop.uk/dev/raspberry-pi-electricity-monitor/ Check out the interactive graphs. You can click and drag to zoom in on either axis. http://jpsingleton.github.io/rawExample.html and http://jpsingleton.github.io/lowPassExample.html https://communit...

I've just written up one of my latest projects which combines a Raspberry Pi, Blinky Tape RGB LED strip, a Spark Core and lots of things you can find around the office to let you know when the bathrooms are in use. All the details are on my blog if you want to have a read and the code is on GitHub. ...
