Jon Witts

Jon Witts has been working within the IT industry since 2002 and specifically within Educational IT since 2004. He was introduced to Linux back in 2001 through his collaboration with two German artists who were visiting the arts organisation he was then working with. Having studied Fine Arts and Educational Technology and sought to innovate with open and accessible digital technologies within his creative practice, Jon is happiest when deconstructing technology and finding its limits. Jon has embedded within his school the use of Raspberry Pi computers, as an integral part of the delivery of the school's Computer Science curriculum as well as to run various school clubs and projects. Jon is a Raspberry Pi Certified Educator and also helps to organise and run the Hull Raspberry Jam events. I would like to thank my wife, Sally and our three daughters for putting up with all the cables and compoents around the house, and not least for being so tolerant of the need to dodge the robots racing round the kitchen floor!

Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the complexities of creating an accurate pedometer by taking a look at some of the maths involved in this process too. We also saw how to chain multiple I2C devices together on our Pi Zero. To be able to calibrate our pedometer program, you had to learn how to write data to a CSV file using Python, and then we briefly looked at how we can copy those files from our Pi Zero to our main computer using the SCP protocol.

Our final program combined the use of the Scroll pHAT HD from the Chapter 2, Scrolling LED Badge, with the reading of the accelerometer data that we first looked at in the Chapter 4, A Motion-Reactive LED Cap.

In our next chapter, we are going to look at how we can use our Pi Zero to create a simple heart rate monitor.
