The Raspberry Pi can just be used as a small computer – but the really interesting thing is the opportunity to do experiments with self built electronic circuits. For this a breadboard is quite helpful.

RasPi arrived
Yesterday I got a Raspberry Pi – Model B with 512 MB RAM, Ethernet port and 2×USB to be precise.
I’ve created fire
Recently I got a number of LED matrix displays (HDSP-2112, eight characters, 5×7 pixels each). Used but in blameless condition – I just couldn’t resist ;-). The picture above shows the first functional test of one display with the character “A” which I “programmed” using hanging connections.
New computer toy
I already had been interested in electronics before I had my first computer – later I drifted off this topic a bit, but the tools (soldering iron, multimeter etc.) still exist and sometimes I also work on circuits as on LCD2USB am FLI4L.
I’m also in Berlin from time to time and sometimes I also visit the shop of Conrad Elektronik – since something like this doesn’t exist in Augsburg and sometimes I’m also just a nerd ;-).
