Nightjar
I bought a couple more micro sd cards today - with adaptor - thanks. It's one of those things I've been keeping for years and when I wanted it...

I'm going to start with collecting all the bits. I hoard every bit of wire and old power bricks, disk drives, cd drives, but can I find a keyboard?

That's a bit annoying. I do like the idea of making a robot

fetch have you looked on the Raspberry Pi website for inspiration?
It's their 4th birthday on Monday!

Finally up and running. Won a game of Othello. Also written my first assembler program for about 30 years. Will start to investigate motors and controllers...

I've spent quite a chunk of my life writing & reading ARM assembler, although I'm not a software engineer. Why did you need to use assembly on the Pi?
mbed is much better for controlling motors etc. IMO.

Just for a bit of fun really. My first job was coding in assembler on a local area network controller. I rather enjoyed it, or at least look back on those days quite fondly. I will look up embed - any handy links appreciated.
Meanwhile, I think my first project to test out the GPIO will be a little traffic light sequencer with three LEDs. This too goes back a while to university when I wrote the program in 9 lines of assembler. Obviously I can't recreate that exact bit of kit but it gives me something to do.

Cheaper, more i/o and generally a bit closer to the hardware than the r-pi. Of course, as you already have the pi, you might as well carry on with it...
