All Pi’d out at Wythall Club
alacarte, SAMBA – these may sound like they belong at a dinner dance…..
Instead, they are part of the world of the Raspberry Pi (RPi) – and material we covered in Wythall Radio Club’s recent 3 evening course.
Over 20 members and visitors packed out the Darts Room, our base at Wythall House.
Ian M0LQY (photo) took us from first steps with a RPi through networking with a Windows PC to connecting the Pi to manage our radios.
In the final week Ian gave us a live demo of how to compile software, using popular digital mode programmes as examples.
There were lots of questions and discussion, and some attendees brought along radio applications they were using with their RPi.
From discussions in the bar afterwards, it was clear that once you have one Pi it is never enough! Some owners had 4 or 5!
Many thanks to Ian for an excellent and accessible series of talks, giving us the basis for lots of computing experimentation to fill the time as we head into the summer duldrums on HF!
