LEGO EVOLUTION OF Pi Projects Jasper (9) and Ozzy (8), the creators of the LEGO timeline of Raspberry Pi Right Who are these likelylooking lads?! A Raspberry Pi Model A rolls off the production line, ready to be loaded onto a truck LEGO-LUTION OF Pi Ozzy, Jasper and Richard Hayler celebrate their collection of Raspberry Pis the only way they know how... W hen Richard Hayler isn’t working for the Foreign Office he’s a Raspberry Pi enthusiast, CoderDojo mentor and Code Club volunteer. “Pretty much everything else revolves around my sons, who love getting involved with all things Pi,” he says. Besides test-driving his educational material, Richard’s sons Ozzy (aged 8) and Jasper (9) are often to be found hacking and making with the Pi. Their latest creation is this rather marvellous LEGO scene designed to celebrate the evolution of everyone’s favourite credit-card-sized PC. “I recently liberated my Rev 1 Model B from the BrickPi robot and thought that it would be nice to take some photos of all the different versions I own,” explains Richard. “I didn’t get round to it straight away, and it languished on my list of ‘things to do’. Then I was lucky enough to get a free Pi 2 on the day of launch by tracking down the Element14 PiCycle (bit.ly/1DpL9Es), which reinvigorated my interest in the idea. “I asked the boys if they had any ideas of how to make the pictures more exciting than just a bunch of Pis on a desk, and they immediately suggested this.” After discussing a few ideas, Richard’s youngest, Ozzy, suggested creating a LEGO timeline showing the Pis being used in different ways. “This morphed into a scene which follows the Pi from the design phase, through manufacture in a Pi factory, to being loaded onto a lorry. Then we have some children using it in a school, and finally, a Pi being strapped to a rocket, ready to launch up to the ISS to celebrate Astro Pi.” Each stage of the design boasts a more modern model of the Raspberry Pi, Richard explains, not to mention the addition of a couple of ‘Easter eggs’, including a rather suspiciouslooking group consisting of a pirate, monkey, robot, and ninja. What’s next for the Haylers? “[We’re] putting together some hardware based around the Model A+ for kite-mapping photography, that will record the altitude and orientation of the kite, and use it to have some intelligence about when (and when not) to capture an image.” You can see more of the Haylers’ Pi timeline, and learn more about the family’s other projects, at richardhayler.blogspot.co.uk. raspberrypi.org/magpi March 2015 21
