learn how to create circuits that will help you in game don't have a breadboard normally we also emulate key hardware components so you can learn how to make without all the bits and pieces CD universe isn't the only bit of learning software available you can also access all of these great resources and more you can even create Word documents and Excel spreadsheets using LibreOffice my co-founder and I it started with a goal to make computing education awesome so we set about creating Python in my memory our small budget defined our affordable philosophy to compete we built a desk that we built our 3d printer that we use to print out the first Python program thankfully we came to indy gogo and we're funded in just 48 hours we've now grown our team and moved out of the living room into offices in London from nothing we have now traveled around the world to make thousands of pie cops and successfully delivered them to over 47 different country we learned a lot when producing Python but importantly we developed our production line and supply chain and we can now make thousands of devices among as a thank you to our amazing community and everyone on IndieGoGo to help to make this happen we are now ready to offer you my top see at 99 a price that will never be seen again except for in this campaign we'd also like to announce our partnership with Interuniversity an amazing organization that provides local learning centers where young people with disadvantaged backgrounds are inspired to achieve positive outcomes and attain a place at university if you'd like to support this fantastic organization for an extra fifty dollars you can by accepting hi pops eat and have that device gifted the inter-university helped further these young aspiring students in higher education i'm a genius i'm a genius we started by top to make affordable technology anyone can use to learn to play and create awesome things so buckets today unless manias happen together we love this stuff and this is kind of this we'd love to pretend this was a dream when we started Raspberry Pi the dream when we started Raspberry Pi was to was to get kids coding again these are sassy and Asher and they'd like to present to you the plus berry pie it's a new case for the raspberry pie with some built-in features that make it much easier to use it's not by accident that these two came up with this innovative idea as they both just love things that are neatly packed in tiny little boxes but ever since they came across the raspberry things got a little messy without all that mess and clutter there wouldn't be a plus berry pie and Asher and sassy would not claim that we have completely rethought the whole concept of the raspberry pie the plus berry fits a variety of applications media box playing games stand-alone pc earn much more so help a cute and sassy press that pink contribute button now and help make everyone's life a little better you it's you like sound you want sound you got some sound sources and now you want sound you have microphones and you want to be heard loud perhaps you got turntables all old and round now you got connectors and now the system of sound let's reflect on this let's inspect the list a raspberry pi let's inject into this we ask the question what does it miss an audio injector sound card add that to your list the audio injector let's sound straight through so if you want unaltered set up this it can do the input of sound it spread all around to Wi-Fi disc HDMI possibilities abound the output of sound it comes from all around from Wi-Fi disc oh my where will it resound heard you like processing we run it red hot take audio in processors spit it up what you got the auto-injector sound card get it while it's hot live now on kickstarter that's our first shop oh did we mention it lets you keep stacking so your personal add-ons and hats you can just keep racking i'd like to thank you for listening to my presentation at flat max studios where all about innovations from rasp i adore TV and respire i'm here today to show you the brand-new razz play analog zero board which fits any 40-pin Raspberry Pi the razz piyo analog zero is a PI 0 sized board you can use with gpio zero to read up to eight analog inputs at once make a weather station a digital thermometer the voltmeter use potentiometer dials for control them display read analog sensors or voltages but you can even make your own embedded device with minimal footprint been hustled and Dave Jones have done a tremendous job with GPR zero making it easy to do useful things in very few lines of code in just four lines of code you can read and display the voltage on one of the inputs qpi o0 is now part of the standard raspbian distribution so you won't even have to install anything in order to use your grasp I of a lot of 0 it has a 54-point prototyping area with plenty of power and ground connections where you can put the fishing components the GPIO ports are also accessible via clearly labeled through holes as usual with raz piyo products they'll be some very clear and easy to follow instructions to get you started and show you how to use it the better this campaign does the easier it is to justify spending more time on these to make them really outstanding what about the rewards well apart from the raz pyar analog zero board itself there's a few other packages I put together to tempt you in one of my early PI projects that i really enjoyed building is my weather station I've made up to weather station bundles both include two temperature sensors two light sensors 20 male to female jumper wires and a character LCD I've also put together a kit of parts to enable you to tinker with gpio 0 using your as prior analogue 0 board so if you like the look of the raz prior analog 0 or one of the project kits please consider backing one of the rewards this kick-start is only going to be running for a few days and we plan to get these out of the door as soon as we possibly can possibly even break some records in the process we'll have to see let's talk about programmable RGB LEDs otherwise known as pixels pixels come in two primary types dumb pixels that require a control signal for each of the colors and the strip is the same color crossed it useful in some cases smart pixels allows for the control of each individual LED and its colors you can have one blue the next turn red when flashing one solid and so on these types are generally known as the WS 2811 WS 28 12 and 12 be timing protocol is rather specific as expected you need something like a microcontroller they can generate those control signals few years ago a small single board computer arrived or rather exploded on the scene and cost around $35 called the Raspberry Pi slow cost and general availability put in the hands of hobbyists and developers it run as a Linux operating system and gives us lots of general-purpose I 0 alpha gives us on the to being the 3b versions to PWM or pulse width modulation outputs that's important because remember the pixels requires specific timing or else they may not operate as expected a lot of people thought hey this might give us a low cost method of driving the pixels who have been using a full-blown computer by the time he was at issue so one day a very brilliant engineer Jer Garth who had the pleasure of working with cut it up a method of using the PWM outputs plus some other clever coding tricks and allowed the PI can drive the pixels and on two different channels nonetheless now the thing is the pixel controls are 5 volts the PI put cell 3.3 volt signals some unable to dry the pixels directly but it may not work each time there's the issue of physics and thresholds and such but we won't get into that what you really need is convert the PI 3.3 volts to 5 volts what about driving over long distance you may not want the PI sitting where your pixels are mounted so the pixel pie board it plugs right in the pie as you can see there's a number different connectors let's talk about what we have here first of all power the pie gets its own power from this connector right here that's fine we plug in just a standard USB cable under there that they suggest the 5 volts for the pixel 5 board comes in two different places you can have a barrel jack right here from the standard power supply that a lot of people are used to or this to pin removable header this is what I prefer for a lot of projects because it gives you the ability to plug and unplug high current power supplies the incoming 5 volts is protected on the board by a resettable fuse this USB jack here is to drive 5 volts out to another device perhaps the pipe across the bottom we have rj45 jacks now you're thinking we have four jacks but when I have two channels of output well we split them into channel 1 and channel to each of the outputs is split again so we actually have two identical strings coming off here to evolve here again 2 and 2 well that's great but what do we do at the other end of that we use in we use cat5 biggs kept 5 ethernet cable is cheap and plentiful you can get it from a number of sources you get it pre-terminated you don't have to worry about crimping you on connectors on there just a good good cable to use the other side here we have two other connectors and those connectors are used to be able to drive out pixels directly from this board pixel strings as kind of used as a test but nothing says you don't have to you know have your strings you know 20 30 40 50 feet from your controller board gives you the options also because you know maybe you don't wanna try this with a pi may be interested in driving with your arduino or a pic microcontroller we have 3.3 volt regulator on board here not populated in this case that will allow you to bring the 5 volts in give you 3.3 volts on the output of this connector to where you can drive another device and connect it in give us options so what do we do at the other end of these cables they got to cut off the end and strip off the wires know that brings us to the end point this is an end point so you can see the cat5 cable plus one side power comes in and a pencil strip is connected so we're here we have the pixel pi plugged into the Raspberry Pi and you can see the blue LED on indicating that we have power by the way that led is after the fuse so if you have no le he means you probably a short somewhere and that fuses blown it will reset itself give them give a little bit of time we have ethernet cables plugged in we've got a short three foot piece we've got a 50-foot lengths we have a 75-foot length and we have a hundred foot length simply just to demonstrate the fact that we can drive over long distances now remember Jerry are fed written that underlying code to run on the PI to drive out pixels directly well some guys created this Falcon player and it runs on the pie directly it brings up this nice web page and it uses that underlying code of the gyro out in order to derive out these WS 28 x x pixel strikes does a number of other type of pixel strings as well in different interfaces but i'm using this this just show a demonstration because it's a nice piece of software very well written if you're planning on using the pie with this you may want to take a look at this piece of software Falcon player clip I his network to my laptop so let go in to and put up a set up Joe outputs other and it will tell you bring up other outlets you can add and it's the rpi WS 28 1 X and the output setup you set up for string number one and string number two you can set up the order and the number of pixels and the number of channels remember each pixel was actually three channels the red the green the blue so I'm setting up string number 14 10 pixels and string number two for 15 pixels simply to demonstrate the fact that we have two different streams running on here from two different control outputs you go over to status control display testing and you can enable a testimony there's other things in there to set up start channel and channel patterns things like that we'll leave that alone for right now we'll just Mabel test more look at that we have 10 pixels and 15 pixels learning from the two different channels now remember each pixel will drive the output and so the only pixel you have to worry about driving is that first pixel once you get to the first pixel second one's driven by the first so on and so forth so it's a showing that you can drive over 100 feet of cat5 to an end point without any problems it's actually the very bottom string that's being driven by 100 feet and if there is a problem it would be very evident it would show up but the two strings are in sync actually all four strings are sick and that's at the back of this test mode that it doesn't put out different patterns for each one but it will control each one independently as shown one thing you may want to notice is that each one of these endpoints does have the two identical outputs and I've just wired them up author Utley to show that yes indeed they're both all being driven and take note that it's not a split divider these are individual drivers from the control board there so this test pattern need to apply a few different things you can change them change the refresh rate make it very slow so that's it for the demonstration of the pixel high board hope that you enjoyed it and that you will support me Kickstarter thank you we are landlords want to thank you for watching our video and hope you'll consider using our products is the rtk GPI gold it allows you to add general purpose input output to a desktop computer or laptop over USB at the heart of it is an arm microcontroller and surrounding circuitry to allow it to speak to your computer over USB and protects it against mistakes let's see how to get started first plug a micro USB cable into the rtk gpio board and the other end into a computer and you're ready to go you can also use in conjunction with rather high two guys have another gpo header or have multiple ailerons at the same time let's look at where you can do you can enjoy LEDs displays text on a display control motive appropriate add-ons or even Kinect sensor socket pol we are funding a board on Kickstarter we have to make it reality by using Kickstarter we have to order to quantity of guide to get the right price point for you we hope you enjoyed this project do you or someone you know drool over those sweet secret agent gadgets in movies do you rip apart your electronics just to see how they work do you dream about tinkering with gizmos but don't have the equipment or know how to well know how your days of wishing and wondering are over thanks to the do we know kit designed by a teacher Duane oak it eliminates small Loserville parts soldering and many other drawbacks to learning electronics and microprocessor programming in groups or at home our exclusive plug-and-play connectors are easily identifiable inventing has never been safer or easier with dueno kit you can quickly develop test and program new ideas this self-contained kit helps you build modify and hack countless projects like an alarm clock that blinks a strobe light a burglar alarm simple memory games like simon digital fortune-teller a thirst detector for plants while how about a love meter hey Kickstarter my name is Dan Alec you may remember me in past couple years with arduino kit jr and a dream cat essentials project so she put on Kickstarter and was quickly funded those were a prototyping kit based on the Arduino microprocessor and we've been taking that to many different maker faire science fairs engineering festivals around the United States and the comet and keep hearing from people is a lovely Arduino based get however would be great if something like that was made for the Raspberry Pi my response is usually then we're working on and it's coming soon well I'm here to finally announce and reveal to our Raspberry Pi based prototyping kit what we did on this kit is we went through and we arranged many different components on the circuit board and the solder to a real circuit board with jumper our connectors so you can basically run wires to connect them up to the Raspberry Pi and we have a manual which includes right now it's over 115 pages of examples on how to code your projects how to hook up the different components how to get them to work and also how to do some of the the programming wiring another feature we took advantage of with the raspberry pi 3 is built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules and we utilize those to actually broadcast a screen image of the Raspberry Pi onto a tablet you can also hook your Raspberry Pi to an hdmi cable to a large display or we'll give you instructions on how to broadcast this image and also touchscreen capabilities to your own device or ipad android tablet personal computer almost anything you want to be able to hook it up to Wi-Fi and be able to actually view the screen and program the raspberry pi v lat or you could also utilize the USB ports that are on the Raspberry Pi hook in your own keyboard or your own devices and your extra accessories to start prototyping your own projects so I let the maker faire as some of you may have seen this book though we talked about when we're doing the Raspberry Pi and what we've been working on is a manual with a curriculum and many many parts and projects so you can learn how to hook up all the different components of the Raspberry Pi we will be adding in pictures of the actual Raspberry Pi prototype or the Raspberry Pi board prototyping kits you actually see the wiring on the board and also images with hook up diagrams for how you hook up Lewis components nice thing is that I disable bowl along with our booklet is we have at least parts kit so if you wanted to actually make these projects your prototype it on the kit you go hey that's kind of cool i like the way it works now you need the parts to prototype it and solder it together you can fight all the loose parts on a kit that we put together so you can actually solder them up practically on the breadboard soldering began now should make your projects and standalone device so those kits are also available and we'll have those in its pledges and reward levels if you just want the hard parts if you not interested in the plug-and-play connectors that's an option and that will also include this manual we're looking at giving you a coil bound book it'll probably about 100 340 pages by the time we're done and that will help you get started on how electronics works and how to actually start wiring and building and also contains all of the code the code will be available online so you can copy and paste the code into your Raspberry Pi and get your projects to work up with is sharing this project on social media share the link on twitter on facebook tell your friends if you have a doing a kit and you're one of the many many people that ask me about the Raspberry Pi kit this is your time to get one pledge now so we can get this production underweight get it started yet it manufactured we should be shipping in August of 2016 so I know it's only a few months away and they'll be coming up real quick we have all the manufacturers in place from arduino kit project so so very confident we can deliver this on time and really impress you with what you get so thank you for support all right once you start learning with the dwie know get system inventions are only limited by your creativity with online tutorials and a little experimenting who knows the next double-oh-seven gadget could be invented by you so what are you waiting for order yours today you you
