Well, hello there, Hackers and Designers!

Getting started

This page walks you through the steps of preparing your laptop to develop sketches in Processing and upload them to a Raspberry Pi over the network.

Great, that worked. And now?

Draw something on the LCD display

With added dithering

Tell a story using text-to-speech

Exchange messages with other sketches in the local network, in a peer-to-peer way

Detect bodies using the camera module and computer vision

React to physical buttons or switches

No physical computing without lighting LEDs!!!

Use small servo motors

Detect the presence of magnets

Use a receipt (thermal) printer (we only got one)

Other useful links

The Processing Reference enumerates the language and all drawing commands

Reference for the Hardware I/O library for everything physical computing

Raspberry Pi Pinout shows the GPIO number for pins, and where the +3.3V and GND pins are

SSH access

The Raspberry Pi computers are using the default username pi and password raspberry. Have fun!
