CamJam September 2016

I traveled up to Cambridge on Saturday 17th September to attend another excellent CamJam.   I arrived early to help setup, this meant leaving home at an unreasonable hour for a Saturday.   I chatted to several people who had some interesting Show and Tell stuff and looked to see what was on offer in the Marketplace.  Rapid Electronics, PiBorg, 4tronix and Pimoroni were selling stuff, though I didn’t buy anything.

Spencer Organ had his excellent  Raspberry Pi/Arduino timelapse camera on display.

Workshops

I helped out with Exploring the real world with sensors workshop. The camjam edukit 2 was provided along with copies of the worksheets so people could try some of the examples.


Talks


I only attended a couple of talks, first up

Philip Organ spoke about the development of his Rasperry Pi/Arduino timelapse camera. Next up was Philip Organ who spoke about the building of his Pokemon Pokedex project.  

Finally Jim Darby spoke about using USB on-the-go on the Raspberry Pi from easy add-on to clustering.
