| Li'l Pooter - use of a Rasberry Pi 2 for teaching |
| << < (3/3) |
| DaOld Man:
I just tried shorting pins 5 and 6 while my RPi3 was shutdown (but power still on). It worked great! Since I am not a brave man, I used a resistor between the pins, just to limit current draw on the pin (probably not necessary but no big deal really). I first used a 1K resistor, this didnt work, then tried a 450 ohm and it did work. (I will probably use a 100 - 200 ohm in the build.) Thanks for that valuable share. I think I will be using this on my jukebox build. |

One of my friends kids in really into programming and is a bit of an inventor. I purchased a pizero W and a micro bit board to play with and make basic games and wearable tech, with solar buttons and rechargable batteries. Sky is the limit with him. He takes his microbit to school and the teacher has never seen it before and was amazed by the creativity that followed with the microbit. I secured 150 of them for the school. The problem is that the pi and microbit was designed for learning programming and the schools have no idea of their existence until now. What went wrong and why such a disconnect? With the complaints of funding of IT in schools, a $5 computer and $10 microbit shouldn't be the stumbling block. |
