About the Authors

Andrew Robinson is the founder of a successful embedded computing design consultancy firm based in Manchester. Passionate about education, he runs workshops and training sessions for all levels of experience, from design engineers to teachers and school children. His projects with the Raspberry Pi have appeared in the national press and on ITV, Channel 5 and BBC television. He is an Honorary Research Fellow of the University of Manchester, where previously he completed his Ph.D. in low power-embedded processors.

Andrew can trace his enthusiasm for electronics and computers back to building a working model lighthouse at the age of five.

Mike Cook, veteran technical author and electronics maker from the U.K., was born in Manchester and still lives close by. He is best known to the public for a series of over 300 articles which appeared in The Micro User, Acorn Computing and Acorn User from 1983 to 2000. These were called the Body Building Course and Run the Risc and covered the design and build of new gadgets, interfaces and peripherals for the old (vintage) BBC computer and the RISC PC. He also wrote numerous reviews, software articles and the readers problem page in these magazines.

Mike started work in the late sixties at an industrial electronics company in Oldham. He went on to take a degree in physical electronics at Newcastle, including a year spent working at the Admiralty Underwater Weapons establishment at Portland. His post-graduate research was in sound compression at the University of Salford. He spent over 20 years at Manchester Metropolitan University (initially Manchester Polytechnic) lecturing in physics, specialising in computer instrumentation, astronomy and image processing. Later he moved back into industry where he headed the hardware design team for the pioneering digital terrestrial set top box, and has been a development manager for security and RFID products.

He now works freelance as an embedded electronics consultant and author. His last book was The Raspberry Pi For Dummies published by Wiley.

Recently he has been designing even more things in the arena of physical computing, exhibiting at the U.K. Maker Fairs, Mini Maker Fairs and the prestigious New York World Maker fair. Mike was the recipient of a Maker of Merit Blue Ribbon at the 2013 Rome Maker Faire.

Jonathan Evans has had a life-long interest in computers and electronics. At the tender age of 10, he taught himself how to program a computer, and he quickly learned how computers and electronics could be married for a functionality to keep his siblings out of his room. He has gone on to become a distinguished IT professional with over 20 years of experience. His passion for creation and innovation combines perfectly with the Raspberry Pi phenomenon, and in his spare time he enjoys exploring projects to make the Raspberry Pi relevant to everyday life. He enjoys sharing his ideas at www.projects.privateeyepi.com where he continues to explore the endless possibilities of this computing platform.

Sean McManus writes inspiring books and articles about computing. He contributed the chapter on Minecraft to Raspberry Pi Projects, and his previous books include Raspberry Pi For Dummies (written with Mike Cook), Scratch Programming in Easy Steps, iPad for the Older and Wiser, Microsoft Office for the Older and Wiser, and Web Design in Easy Steps.

Introduction

When were young, making things is second nature painting a picture, inventing a game, telling a story, building a rocket from a washing-up liquid bottle that were convinced will fly all the way to the moon. Childhood is all about adventure, discovery the quest for something new.

Although these joys dont fade with age, it can become harder to find space and time for play and discovery as real life takes over. But yet, some of the greatest inventions and discoveries of history were the result of curious people not being afraid to have a go, often tinkering away in their own homes or garden sheds rather than high-tech well-funded engineering companies.
