Six weeks holiday, I remember those days... Riding my bike all over town, adventures everyday, then home for some serious time with my Super Nintendo.

Six weeks is a long time without projects so for this Friday Fun I am giving you...

17 free projects!

Yes dear reader here are enough projects to keep you busy all summer long.

• Learn how to use Node-Red with the Raspberry Pi GPIO.
• Visualise customer satisfaction data captured in real time using Raspberry Pi GPIO and matplotlib for Python.
• Detect colours and change a strip of neopixels to match that colour!
• Create a file server with added ad blocking functionality.
• Control the GPIO in the terminal, no Python required.
• Build a retro computer.
• Plus lots more!!

All of this for free!!
