=====Week 2===== * Pertinent RiPi LED links: * https://sites.google.com/site/semilleroadt/raspberry-pi-tutorials/gpio * http://www.pieter-jan.com/node/15 * Project 1: get a functioning LED on GPIO pins utilizing command line approach * Project 2: replicate functionality, in a C program * Project 3: rig up 4 LEDs, write a C program that makes a binary counter with the LEDs * Project 4: wire together 2 RiPis--- one "counts" and sends the signal to its peer, its peer receives signal and outputs to LEDs accordingly * Project 5: telegraph-- utilizing an external switch, one RiPi sends signal to another, which lights up its LED * Project 5 overdrive: rig up contact switch for authentic morse code reception (simple electromagnet?) * Project 6: telegraph translation: in addition to lighting up the LED, parse the incoming message and display (character at a time) to STDOUT * Project 6 redux: long distance telegraph-- run a much longer cable... send and receive telegrams from across the room (or hall). * Project 7: contemplate a telegraph network... how would we enable a sender to select a recipient and send a message? (think about switching and relaying) =====Week 1===== * Assemble Raspberry Pis * Get raspbian images on SD cards * verify Raspberry Pi functionality * customize opus (title and intro section)
