The Raspberry Pi


The Raspberry Pi -  The Raspberry Pi Model B is a small computer that runs on Linex and is used to help children learn how to programme. Different programming languages can be used with the computer but the main ones are C++, Java and Python. As a small computer it can run a lot of programmes, in relation to tracking movement, programmes such as CVblob and openCV can be used. The Model B has two USB ports that allow equipment like webcams to be attached. The Pi can be ran headlessly, operated by another computer via the internet. This is ideal for us, as you wouldn't need to be in the room with the fish constantly to know how happy they are, as this could be viewed from anywhere with the help of the internet.
