What the event is all about, the Raspberry Pi.

Upon arrival simon had already set up an interesting demo,

This project is essentially a frame and windchimes,  being sounded by some motors with wire sticking up, so that when the motor rotates, it hits the chime,  this is all controlled via a raspberry pi, the laptop I think is there to provide a remote link to the Pi.
