Lack of projects or examples related to piface

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi,

 

I recently buy a Piface to begin learinng how to use an electronic device connected to my raspberry pi device.

 

But as far as i began to search samples, or any kind of projects, python or c code using piface, everything i saw was more related to adafruit products than piface. Even my Piface needed a board made by adafruit to be completely useful. 

 

So i begin to have some doubt about the value of Piface in terme of versality making it working in any realistic projects, like i used to see with the use of some adafruit and some othe companies products.

 

I bought electronic devices from adafruit some days ago, but it is kind of frustrating to have something unuseful as this piface i have now. All i did was some sort of basic and stupid code making light goes on and off on the piface board but that's all. 

 

Am i wrong, ami i missing internet websites made of projects related with a piface ? If i'm wrong where's the best website to go to have more about this piface.

 

Thanks in any ways !

 

Sorry about my bad english writing !

 

André

    Check out the PiFace google docs:

     

    https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B-UAZ9CyJCLGQjJ3RDlqa2pqaDg/edit

     

    You might also find these blog posts I wrote interesting:

     

    PiFace and Gertboard resources

     

    PiFace controls motor speed with PWM

     

    cheers,

    Hi Drew,

     

    I will check out these links of yours that you shared with me as well as to everybody's reading this thread.

     

    It look very very interesting just seeing these links you proposed.

     

    Thanks a lot for your help Drew, and i'll get back as soon as i'll explored them.

     

    André

     

    I think that my reactions were inapropriate about the real value of the Piface vs all these Adafruit components that i bought that i didn't receive after a waiting time of more than two weeks.

    Gough has very interesting stuff on his site.

    He has a very good warning about cheap USB memory sticks that everyone should read.

    Maybe the E14 AUS people should be contacting him for some articles, and more product writeups.
