Introduction Turn your Brick Pi into a Selfie Stick! Because… why not?? The selfie stick is an absurd trend sweeping the world, and so we bring shame to the Raspberry Pi community by converting a beautiful, useful piece of technology into a crude tourist sensation. YOU WILL NEED: Raspberry Pi SD card (with Dexter Industries Brick Pi image installed)...

In this tutorial we’ll explore a few Scratch programs for the BrickPi. Scratch is a graphical programming language developed for education by MIT. Bringing Scratch to the BrickPi means it can be programmed visually, rather than with lines of code, making it easier for kids and students to use. Before you begin, there are directions (and two videos) on...

You can program the BrickPi in Node.JS.  Make your Raspberry Pi Robots in NodeJS: What is Node.js? Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. Where do I start? You can install the...

Ever find yourself turning off your alarm clock without realizing it only to wake up an hour later and have to race out the door?  In this build we are going to build a robot alarm clock that makes you work to turn it off!  Not only that, but the robot will be able to sync to your Google...

Wyliodrin is a flexible and fun programming platform for the Raspberry Pi.  You can choose to program with a range of languages, including Java, C++, Python, PHP, Arduino, Perl, and nodejs. Wyliodrin also supports a visual programming language for the BrickPi that includes drag and drop programming blocks. To get started, see their tutorial on starting with the BrickPi.

You can program the BrickPi in Erlang.  Make your Raspberry Pi Robots in Erlang: What is Erlang? Erlang (/ˈɜrlæŋ/ er-lang) is a general-purpose concurrent, garbage-collected programming language and runtime system. Where do I start? There are two Github repositories to help you Program the BrickPi in Erlang, shared by our community members: Wutka’s github repository for Erlang and the BrickPi. Imtal’s github repository for Erlang and the BrickPi.
