Java 11 Coding on the Raspberry Pi

In the latest MagPi magazine issue #93 there's an article by Frank Delporte on the Java programming language.

The topic is Get Started with Java and Electronics and it's a great introduction to beginning to use the Java OpenJDK 11 - as included with the Raspberry Pi Raspbian operating system.

The article's code examples start with a 'Hello World' class, then move on to interfacing with the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins for developing electronics projects.

For the best Java coding experience you'll ideally need a Raspberry Pi 4 with as much memory as possible - 4GB would be best.

More LEGO® Boost Python Coding

As my original LEGO® Boost kit and Python coding post has received quite a number of page views I thought I'd post some additional information on this topic.

Andrey Pokhilko

I recently came across Andrey Pokhilko and his YouTube video (below). In this video he talks about his own LEGO® Boost Robotics construction and coding project, along with a demonstration of Vernie's capabilities plus a custom power pack hack.

To view Andrey's Python code examples navigate over to his GitHub resources page.

Mikhail Zakharov

I also noticed Mikhail Zakharov has added Python coded Voice Command Control to his own LEGO® Boost Vernie project.

Mikhail's Python source code can be found on his GitLib resources page.
