Raspberry Pint:Raspberry Pi and other Digital Making -Arduino, ESP32, etc

This is Raspberry Pint, where we share our digital making experiences.
Most of our presentations are about building personal or professional projects with Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, ESP32s, Microbits, etc. We also welcome presentations about skills and techniques such as website design, PCB design, SW development, 3D printing, soldering, etc. Occasionally, we have had presentations about deep learning, big data, IoT, etc. and would love to hear about what you do in your hobby or professional life. All makers and all digital making welcome. The quirkier the better.

Whilst more of our presentations are put onto an agenda, ad hoc presentations also happen as well as people just bringing stuff to show.

Everyone is welcome to take part - we have no lower or upper age limit and all content is suitable for everyone.

Joining information is available on this page once you register.

AGENDA:
19:00 - 19:45 Suyash Joshi - Make drum machine with Pi, Arduino and some fruits!

In this talk and live demo, we will learn how we can create music with a drum amchine using common IoT devices such as Raspberry Pi using Sonic Pi and Arduino using MIDI, touch sensors and fruits!

Speaker: Suyash Joshi is a creative Technologist and also an Illusionist based in London. He is also organizer of Creative Code & AI meetup (https://www.meetup.com/magicalint) group.

​19:45 - 20:30 Romilly Cocking - Running a big database on a small computer

The Semantic Scholar Academic Graph is a vast, free repository of information about academic papers, their references and their authors. It's free, and you can download the database for local use. Romilly will describe the hurdles he overcame in storing the details of 220 million papers and 2.6 billion citations on a Raspberry Pi.
