People began to arrive shortly after and grabbed their tables to set-up their projects. Pretty soon, the beer was flowing and more people arrived to share\u00a0in the Pi-ness. \u00a0Speaking for myself, it was especially nice to see Peter Onion. Peter used to run the Milton Keynes Raspberry Jam at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tnmoc.org\/\">National Museum of Computing<\/a> at Bletchley Park and without him I wouldn&#8217;t have been inspired to run the first CamJam back in May last year. He also taught me everything I know about how to solder properly! (No more trying to apply the solder to the tip and then wiping it onto the component for me!)<\/p>\n<p>Projects we had on display were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Pi playing live high-definition TV via a USB dongle.<\/li>\n<li>The Hap-Pi Kits &#8211; cardboard cases for the Pi and to make robots out of. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/tlbrcandkre8\/case4-kits-and-happi-robot-for-the-raspberry-pi\">They&#8217;re currently running a Kickstarter here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Ken&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/pipresents.wordpress.com\/\">Pi Presents<\/a> software &#8211; used for digital signage.<\/li>\n<li>LEGO-built cases round a Pi running node.js and various mini-apps to make using the Pi&#8217;s functions a bit easier.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/sonic-pi.net\/get-v2.0\">Version 2 of Sonic Pi<\/a>\u00a0(thanks to Jamie at <a href=\"http:\/\/thepihut.com\">The Pi Hut<\/a> for the loan of his speaker!)<\/li>\n<li>An ultrasonic distance sensor driven musical instrument (which changes pitch depending on the distance your hand is from the sensor)<\/li>\n<li>A laser-cut robot chassis with lots of small bits that could be put together to make a full robot.<\/li>\n<li>Peter&#8217;s absolutely brilliant radio wave visualisation project. He used a ham radio plugged into the Pi which then rendered, via the GPU, the signals from the airwaves. You could see morse code being sent in real-time.\u00a0He picked up signals from all over Europe during the time I watched. Great stuff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few\u00a0photos, courtesy of Peter O:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/camjam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-286\" src=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/camjam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1-300x225.png\" alt=\"Potton1\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1-450x337.png 450w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton1.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/camjam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-287\" src=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/camjam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4-300x225.png\" alt=\"Potton4\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4-450x337.png 450w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton4.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/camjam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-288\" src=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/camjam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3-300x225.png\" alt=\"Potton3\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3-450x337.png 450w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton3.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/camjam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-289\" src=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/camjam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2-300x225.png\" alt=\"Potton2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2-450x337.png 450w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/camjam.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Potton2.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p>We finished up the day with a lovely meal together.
