Raspberry Pint : Raspberry Pi and other Digital Making Fun -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.
This is a Hybrid Meeting. We will be holding at 'The Duke Of Sussex'. We will be in the 'Petworth Room', which is on the first floor - take the stairs between the pub and the restaurant. The stairs also lead to the toilets.

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 Marc Lainez : Making a Remote Controlled Full Size EV from an 07 Car with Second Hand Parts and Raspberry Pis
Marc will drive us through the process his associates and himself went through to convert an 07 volkswagen Polo into a remote controlled EV powered with Raspberry Pis and Arduinos. He will dive into how Raspberry Pis are used in their car, how they make parts from different brands talk seamlessly with each other, and share with us some of the many learnings they got from working on this project. The talk will focus on the "architecture" of the platform, what the RPi components are doing. Briefly talk about the software tech we have used and use the "from the start of the project to driving the car remotely" storyline.
20:00 Richard Kirby: A Half Baked Model Railway for Teaching Railway Signalling
Richard is not a model railway enthusiast, but he does have 30 years of experience with real London Underground trains and real world signalling systems. Richard is building a system to help new people understand engineering and railway signalling. His first victims will be some work experience GCSE students. It is anyone's guess what shape the system will be in by the time of this presentation - even Richard has only a vague idea. The presentation will be a high level overview of the system - it isn't ground breaking stuff, but it is a different way to use Raspberry Pis for educating the next generation of engineers.
