pcDuino with LinkSprite shields, Raspberry Pi, pcDuino<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Went to XinCheJian hackerspace the other day to run Helper Session and left with a LeapMotion, pcDuinio with LinkSprite shields and sensors and a Raspberry Pi – all on loan – but such nice devices – made a great weekend.<\/p>\n

The LeapMotion has had plenty of press since it’s release, so no need to rehash that here, my big<\/strong> first impression after a quick setup and short time playing game, was of being totally lost once the game finished, then I realised oh – have to use the old keyboard and mouse again – it was a huge letdown after being so free using the LeapMotion!<\/p>\n

The rPi is one of the prizes for the SwarmRobot team (got shipped – returned and shipped again). Was going to use it for the new TheSpaceProjects<\/a>, but then was told about the donation of several pcDuino’s and the LinkSprite shields etc. So now upgrading to pcDuino and maybe also the rPi.<\/p>\n

More posts coming on pcDuino – as first impressions are it is actually a LOT more capability than expected!<\/p>\n
