Raspberry Pi Kit arrives

Once I learned that Mathematica and the Wolfram Language are supported on the Raspberry Pi , I could not resist getting it. I started looking at Raspberry Pi at the MarkShed, could not resist the 2.8 touch screen at Adafruit. The photographs below show the components I selected. This is like my fourth order with Adafruit (Arduino kits) and I’ve been impressed with the quality of the components supplied.

I’m interested in using Mathematica as a way to create, display, control, and interact with hardware. Some of the projects that I’m thinking about include:

  • Clock radio modification to add Internet music streaming
  • Audio function generator
  • Impedance analyzer using the AD5933 Impedance Converter Network Analyzer eval board
  • Interface with DSP eval boards for signal processing applications
  • Interface with a Smartfusion SoC eval board to explore FPGA and analog sampling applications
  • USB development board for sensor applications
