BASIC Library for the Raspberry Pi JAM HAT released

I have developed a BBC BASIC library for the Raspberry Pi JAM HAT from modmypi.com. The JAM HAT is the perfect add-on board for learning how to code electronic hardware with the Raspberry Pi, and designed for use by beginners, schools and coding clubs in an easy-to-use, clearly laid out format! The JAM HAT has the Pi’s GPIO fully exposed, leaving you free to connect other hardware as your projects grow!

It supports:

• 6 x “Traffic Light” LEDs (2 x Red, 2 x Yellow, 2 x Green)
• 2 x Tactile “Push to Make” Buttons
• 1 x Buzzer/Sounder

The library allows you to light up the LEDs, detect which button has been pressed, and play a tune on the buzzer! It is available to download from PlingStore or from http://www.owlart.co.uk/software/

As a bonus feature, the library also supports the very similar BerryClip and BerryClip+ boards from RaspberryPi Spy!

The library uses druck’s TimerMod, which is included in the download with kind permission from druck.
