+On Saturday June 20th we held another Pi Jam with many or our regulars returning and a few new comers.
+
+It was Philip's birthday and to mark the occasion he brought along a Raspberry Pie,
+(well bakewell tart), which did not last long at all.

+
+Steve brought along some of his Raspberry PI based robots, using the original model B, A+, PI0W and the Pico.

+
+The meccanum robot is controllable from a website, and several of the youngsters had a go with it.
+As is the case with these events, Steve had tested it from his PI500 at home but used an Iphone on the day.
+What could go wrong, well quite a bit, some of the button presses did not work!
+It might be fixed for the next PI Jam and use the camera for line following, but then again...
+
+If you are interested it uses a Pimoroni motor2040 for motor control and an ESP32-CAM for the web control.
+All based on one of Kevs robots at
+www.kevsrobots.com, Steve's goto website for robot projects.
+One day Steve will either take better pictures or learn how to edit them!

+Tony,

+another of our regulars was here to get an oscilloscope connected to a PI5 talking over a network to his MAC.
+He managed to do it and will be using it to set to work EDSAC at the National Computing Museum Bletchley Park.

+Dan was here getting his LIDAR to work, it is working using ROS and the plan is to put it on an autonomous robot.

+
+What do you do with 14 original Model B PI's, make a cluster of course!
+Why, because you can. Currently a work in progress.

+
+Finally a "Maplin Robot Arm", the very first thing Steve Controlled with his original model B back in 2013,
+and it still works!
