February 2015 Workshop & Talk
Scratch GPIO Workshop
11:30am – 1:00pm
Pete Lomas will be running a workshop on getting started with Scratch and General Purpose Input Output (GPIO), built on the excellent Scratch GPIO support package created by Simon Walters. Ideal for beginners.
- There are 10 loan systems available for use, or bring your own.
- The systems and assistance will be available for the rest of the jam to carry on having fun.
- A selection of boards that attach to the Raspberry Pi will be available to try.
“Bullet time” Camera Rig
2:00pm
Star in your own recreation of the famous ‘bullet time’ effect popularised by The Matrix films at the next Manchester Raspberry Jam.
40 Raspberry Pis take your picture from every angle in unison, which are then stitched into a video where you appear to hang in mid air while the camera moves round the scene. Andrew Robinson and his team will also be on hand to explain the story behind the rig, how it works, and share the backstage gossip from its recent use on BBC Four’s iconic Royal Institution Christmas Lectures.
