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

We are available online and In Real Life. IRL is much better as you get to meet us in 3D! Venue is 100 Blackfriars Road, London, SE1 8HL. Enter via the Computacenter main entrance, they're glass doors. The security staff will be aware that Raspberry Pint is being organised there. Michael Turner is the contact for Computacenter.

Chance to WIN: We are giving away a Raspberry Pi500 to one lucky attendee. This can only be mailed to a UK address.

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.

Check out our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/raspberrypint/) where the Raspberry Pint continues in between meetups.

We are also on YouTube, just search for Raspberry Pint.

Agenda:

19:00 Simon Prickett: Exploring Sensor Data with MicroPython and CrateDB

CrateDB is an open source SQL database for real time data and hybrid search. In this talk with live demos, Simon will introduce you to CrateDB and show you how to store and query data from a variety of sensors with Raspberry Pi Pico W devices and the MicroPython programming language.

Simon Prickett is the developer relations lead at CrateDB. He enjoys projects that fuse hardware and software, especially with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Simon brings experience gained from living and working on three different continents in industries including banking, logistics, IoT and Software as a Service platform development.

20:00 Stewart Watkiss: Introduction to the Raspberry Pi Pico

Stewart is going to provide an overview of the Pico, with some examples of projects, and how to power it.

Stewart is an IT professional and an author. Read more about him here: https://watkissonline.co.uk/stewart-watkiss/
