Handouts used at my raspberry Pi themed Codeclub and at CoderDojo Ham

Raspberry Pi Club resources

These Suishi cards are intended to be quick-start activities. I am using these in my Raspberry Pi themed CodeClub for Yrs 5-6 and at CoderDojo Ham

I will add extra sheets as and when I create them. Sheets marked as BETA are new and have not yet been fully tested in clubs/CoderDojo.

These are originally created using Omnigraffle Pro.

Most of the activities are remixs of ideas found elsewhere. In most cases I have just condensed them down into a single sheet to try to avoid 'computing by numbers'.

Some of the cards are available in two types: -half and -mini. This refers to the size of breadboard shown in the diagram.

All projects are designed for the model B but should work with B+ and Pi 2.

###Components

Most of the components used in the hardware projects acan be acquired fairly cheaply, especially if you're prepared to wait a while for shipping from China. I've put together a Pinterest Page that has links to some suggested places where the bits and bobs can be purchased. I cannot, of course offer any guarantee or promise that the products will always be available, be the cheapest or most reliable. YMMV.

##The following sheets are available:

1. GettingStarted: a single page diagram of where all the cables and peripherals go on a Pi
3. mallow: an annotated Fritzing diagram for a simple marshmallow squeezing game
4. led-scratch: a breadboard project to light a single led using scratch (includes Fritzing diagram). 4.1 led-gpiozeroBETA: a breadboard project to light a single led using Python and GPIOZero 4.2 pwmled-gpiozeroBETA: Vary the brightness of an LED through PWM with GPIOZero 4.3 RGBLed-gpiozeroBETA: Control the colours of an RGB LED using GPIOZero
5. running-python3: getting started with idle, intended for people who are new to Python
6. reaction-gpiozerBETA: Add two button to the led from project 4/5 to create a simple recation time game. Scratch will detect who pushed their button first when the led lights up and display the winner. Also includes a (better) Python version.
7. buzzerBIG-gpiozeroBETA: A simple circuit to make a piezo buzzer buzz. Uses both Scratch(which is only really capable of making the buzzer tick) and Python.
8. alarm-gpiozeroBETA: Combine a cheap PIR sensor with the buzzer from project 7 to create a simple intruder alarm.
9. minecraft_gold: Create a trail of golden blocks behind you.
10. minecraft_tnt: Modify the property of a TNT block to prime it for explosion.
11. minecraft_biggerboom: Set off an explosion in Minecraft with a real world button. Add a flshing LED and a buzzer for a more dramatic countdown to detonation.
12. sevensegment: Control a seven segment led matrix.
13. LDRLED-gpiozerBETA: Use a Light Dependent Resistor to turn on/off an LED.
14. TrafficLights: Can you program a traffic leght sequence (challenge card)
15. minecraft-frozen: create a freeze ray in minecraft and control its range with a variable resistor
16. piglowV3: Use the PiGlow add-on board with Scratch and Python
17. StepperBETA: Control a stepper motor through GPIOZero
18. CodeBug: Use a tethered CodeBug

####Extras:

GPIO: a diagram of the GPIO pins for a model B, taken from the excellent Raspberry Pi documentation.

minecraftblocks: a list of the block types available in Minecraft Pi edition.
