Raspberry Pi Roundup - 19th Jan 2015
Robots!
Carl Monk’s taken some components that he’s collected during his time working with the Pi and has come up with a robot that streams live video and allows you to control it over a mobile phone or tablet using a simple web interface. He’s used a 4tronix Microcon, an Adafruit Pan & Tilt and, of course, a Pi camera. Read about his project here which he’s called ToffeeBot. He’s open-sourced all his code so you can have a go at replicating it.
Birthday
We're going to The Raspberry Pi Big Birthday Weekend. Are you?

GPS
Rachel Gibbs over at Initial State has written a tutorial that takes you through the process of using Adafruit’s Ultimate GPS Breakout Board to take readings and then stream them to Initial State’s server using their API to get a nice graph.Take a look here.
Eel!
The Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga has an electric eel called Miguel Wattson. Thanks to the Raspberry Pi, some Python programming and a bunch of sensors, Miguel can now tweet to the outside world! Read more about it here and follow Miguel on Twitter here. See a video of Miguel below:
