First off, welcome to the PImoroni Forums! It’s great to see this forum gaining momentum and I really hope to see a little community grow here, sharing projects and supporting each-other. It’s a forum cliché, but I think we should introduce ourselves ( you don’t have to ) and maybe fill in a little …

Hmmmm I wouldn’t be so quick to jump to that assumption: the reason for Ruby being used is the syntax is designed around the developer, not the hardware, so it’s probably easier to use, but I’d argue for python syntax being closer to what comes up in other programming languages. But I am a pythonist…

Charlotte Thank you for your suggestion. My belief in Ruby being easier to learn for a beginner is based mainly on: me knowing Ruby much better than Python Ruby’s everything is an object consistency is a help for a young person I suspect the significance of indentation within code is not h…

Then there’s Ruby Koans, Why’s Guide To Ruby, Kids Ruby, etc, etc. Ruby is a pretty cool and eccentric language, it’s what I started with on the Pi ( which is why WiringPi Ruby exists ), but alas it’s just so much more hassle to get up and running than Python.

Hi, I am TankMan and very gratefully received a Raspberry Pi B+ for Christmas 2014. A month later I equally gratefully received a project pack of components and am slowly learning linux, python and electronics. I went to the Raspberry Pi Third Birthday Party and met Pimoroni’s gadgetoid and jon, …

Just realised, (Duh!), that I asked a question before introducing myself. I work as an integration engineer utilising my home workshop, constituting old mill and lathes. Hoping to gain enough knowhow to convert to CNC control at a reasonable cost. Here’s to gaining that knowledge through these fo…

Salut, my name is Mathias and I live close to Basel, Switzerland. Since about 3 years I play with Arduinos, Raspberry-Pi, pcDuino and chipKit boards. Recently my son and I developed our own board using a 32bit Microcontroller ( www.helvepic32.de ) and if you are intersted in building your own board f…

Assalamualaikum. My name is Tahseen Kamal. I am from Canberra, Australia and I am very newbie for the pi :). I have bought the pi2 model B recently and now using NOOBS to run an 8X8 LED matrix :D. Thanks. And hopefully I will be able to get help from this forum! And someday will be able to provide …

Hi! I’m Ian. Long time geek (started coding at age 10 on a ZX81). Managed to get one of the 2nd batches of original RasPi and have since collected one of each version (except the original “A”).
