The vive is our Virtual Reality headset, available for use when ever the library is open. If you are unsure of how to use it ask one of our makerspace staff during our open hours.
Arduino and Raspberry Pi
Arduino is an open-source electronic device that can read inputs (such as light on a sensor, finger on a button, or a Twitter message), and based on these inputs produces output (such as turning on an LED or activating a motor). Arduino boards are microcontrollers, not full computers with their own operating system like Raspberry Pi. They simply execute code written in C/C++, stored in their firmware. Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is an open-source software used to write codes and upload them to an Arduino board.
Raspberry Pi is a small, fully functional computer that can be plugged into a computer monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It has all qualities of a PC- a dedicated processor, memory, and a graphics driver.
