Hardware in School



This was part of a special feature, released in time for children going back to school. We covered how kids could use Linux in school and I wrote a special section showcasing the three main platforms at the time. Arduino, Raspberry Pi and micro:bit. Learn how to make a decision shaker with micro:bit, an ultrasonic tape measure with Arduino and a custom GUI to control real world components with Raspberry Pi.

Gentle Reminder

Linux Format articles are under copyright, owned by the publisher, Future Publishing. But I have been given special permission to share some projects that I have written in the magazine.

So here we have a handful of projects that you are free to download and use. The content is still under copyright, but for personal use or use in clubs and schools the reader is free to download and use the content as long as no edits are made, and the Linux Format cover page and logos remain.
