Is that a Python in your Raspberry Pi?
Details
It seems like everyone has a Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/) or two sitting around these days, but very few people are actually doing anything with them. At this meeting, Ben Rousch (https://www.meetup.com/grpython/members/5393360/) will talk about using the popular and easy to learn Python programming language on the Raspberry Pi. He'll show you handy Python modules for working with the camera and GPIO ports, and will get you started building interesting things.
Ben will have a couple of Raspberry Pis at the meeting, but feel free to bring your own if you'd like to join in the hands-on fun.
Time permitting, he may also cover one or more of the following topics:
• Using Kivy to make simple GUIs on the RaspberryPi starting from an easy to use pre-made system image
• PyGame on RPi
• Controlling an Arduino with Python (from RPi or other computer)
If you have any other maker-oriented Python material you'd like to present at this meeting, please let Ben know ASAP.
Note that this meeting is at the GRMakers makerspace, not at our usual location.
