Raspberry Pi Club

Loucoll Raspberry Pi Club


Last Thursday, 3rd October 2013 saw the launch of the Loucoll Raspberry Pi Club.  We took our first bite of the Pi...exploring its components and discussing what we could do with it. We were fortunate enough to have in attendance Sean Sturley, a computing lecturer and owner of three Raspberry Pi. Sean showed us some very interesting websites of Raspberry Pi projects including one where someone is using his Raspberry Pi to control a robot boat that will pilot itself across the Atlantic Ocean! You can read more about this from a BBC News article. Sean has promised to bring in his three Raspberry Pi to our next club meeting.
We are also lucky to have two techies from the IT team, telling us all about their love of Ubuntu and Linux etc. I'm sure their input to the club will be most useful as we embark on projects!

We've set up a website which we hope to have ready soon to keep you posted with our activities. Till then looking forward to having a bigger bite of the Pi this week!
