Audio amp
A few months ago, I found a circuit diagram to build a simple audio amplifier circuit with the LM386 chip.
The circuit and further details can be found here, while my completed project is below.
The project works, but seems a little crackly in places, So I need to investigate further.

Open Street Map
OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open licence.
Open Street Map is a great project that anyone can get involved with, using open data so mapping data can be used freely in accordance with the terms on the website.
Embedded maps are also interactive
View Larger Map
I am in the process of finding local attractions, business etc and adding links to their websites. This hopefully helps with promotion and helps the website develop generally.

Overleaf Webinar write up from 09/7/2020
I attended another Webinar presented by Overleaf, the cloud based, collaborative text editor.
This webinar focused on “Organizing and Managing your Overleaf Projects”.
Again really well presented and it covered project ownership, and the rights this gives you, e.g you can't rename a project that has been shared with you.
Also covered folders and tags, the differences between project archiving and deletion. Along with more about what is found on the dashboard, searching for projects for example. Well worth taking a look at in the previous webinar recordings.
In the meantime there is a TUG virtual conference near the end of July (24th –> 26th). Please see link below for details.
Next webinar
The next Webinar is on 30th July and will cover How to Create Professional Looking Documents In-House.

Scratch : Share projects
By default, Scratch projects are set to private. This means that only you can edit them. This feature helps to keep users safe. However the very nature of Scratch is collaborative and you are encouraged to share, but remember to be safe while you are sharing, Ask a grown up first.
To share your new project:
- Fill in the name box next to the orange share button.
- Click the orange share button.
Don't worry if you forget to give your project a name, clicking on the share button brings up this screen.
Adding to a studio
Method 1
From the above screen you will see there is an Add to studio button near the bottom right
Method 2
If you click on your name in the corner, click my stuff you are then taken to this screen, where you can share your project with a studio you are following.
You do this by clicking Add to and selecting the studio from the list.

IRC bot development
I have been working on some more projects around IRC chat bots. I decided to try and integrate a Magic 8 ball project so that an IRC bot would give a random response, chosen from a pre- defined set within the code (can be changed) when the bot is sent an instruction in my IRC channel.
This project builds on some of the code covered in my Minecraft Pi bot project. Mostly the base code from the Linux Voice article.
The code is currently being tested in ##zleap on Freenode.
At the moment magic8 can be sent the following commands:-
- !umame – returns output of uname -a
- !uptime – returms system uptime
- !help – displays list of options
- !botexit – bot quits irc channel,
- !magic8 – returns random text
- !ping – returns pong (used to check the bot is working, left in for legacy
- !web – returns my own web address (this website) but can be changed
- !sdtj – returns web address for the South Devon Tech Jam
Notes
uname and uptime are Linux / Unix commands, it is therefore assumed you are running on a GNU / Linux system.
I have created a welcome message from the bot, so when it joins it says hello, also says goodbye if !botexit is sent.
Todo
- Make the code Python 3
- Add more options
- Keep it tidy
Help and Contribute
Feel free to fork the project and make improvements and further customization. Perhaps discuss further on IRC or via social media e.g Mastodon.
