Eben Upton “This Is How I Work” on Lifehacker #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Lifehacker has been running a series of really interesting getting started with Raspberry Pi pieces, starting with this one. Here’s a Usethis.com style interview with Eben Upton, co-founder and Exec Director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
All week here at Lifehacker, we’re showing you some of our favorite Raspberry Pi projects. The $35 palm-sized computer packs enough punch to create a home media center, run a VPN, and much more. So who better to chat with this week than Eben Upton, cofounder and executive director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation? Eben and his team are the magicians behind this incredible device, a project that started as a way to spark kids’ interest in computer science. Launched in early 2012, the demand for Pi was so great that it quickly sold out—and a year later, nearly a million units have been sold. We caught up with Eben to find out his favorite apps, best life hacks, and can’t-live-without gadgets.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
