The next Paignton Library code club will be on the usual first Saturday, 2/12/2023. We will carry on with what we were doing at the previous session on 25/11/2023. Plus also carrying out other projects that have been discussed recently.
I will also be helping with electronics, coding, scratch, python, html/css and hardware.
Hopefully a few new members and a few new members with the right level of expertise so we can help / support each other further.

Another busy session today, stared off taking a netbook apart to remove the fan, so that we could use it to replace a faulty fan in another netbook. This all went fine, we now have more spare parts in the box.
We also installed windows on 2 netbooks, had a go at installing FreeBSD but got stuck, this is one thing I am not too sure on, we ended up on an installer screen asking about RAID devices.
I also got to do some electronics, and have identified some more resources I need for the next session.
We also had a new attendee who may be able to bring some friends on the 25th. So all good stuff.
We are trying to find out if we can still download an older ISO file for Xebian 2022. The website just has xebian 2023.

The next Paignton Library code club is an extra session on Saturday 25th November 2023, 10 am to 12:00. We will carry on with coding, help new attendee, and do more work on the netbooks.
We may look at FreeBSD, and Ventroy or at least figure out which ISO we would like a multi-boot installer for.

Code Club 4/11/2023 WriteUp
We had a busy code club today. Lots of fixing netbooks, installing operating systems, troubleshooting and of course some coding.
We also had attendees working on their own projects, including a Pokemon related projects.
I also assisted another attendee with an electronics project.
So we now have several netbooks, that are fully working and managed to transfer keyboards over so they also had full keyboards. Replaced a missing key on some other keyboards, which is quite a delicate takes that requires a good degree of patience.
What we need now is to find STEM ambassador help us make a multi boot usb stick so all the installers can be on a single usb stick which will free up the others. I know this can be done, just not sure how to do it, or how to fix things if it doesn't work.

I now have 2x RescaTux boot disks and 1x Gparted boot disk to add to our tool kit. These may be really useful for fixing netbooks etc. Note : Gparted is also included on the rescatux disk
Replacement PSU for netbooks should be this
Power : 40w
Voltage : 19.5
Current 2.05 A thus supplies 2.1 A

We had four of the regulars today. It was a mix of coding in Scratch but also sorting out some of the netbooks, trying to download Win 7 and get this copied on to a memory stick so we can install. First attempt to dd the iso file failed, second attempted worked but ended up with the device not booting or being seen by the netbook.
So a good session.

Code Club 7/10/2023 reminder
The next Paignton Library code club is on Saturday 7th October 2023, 10 am to 12:00. We will carry on with with the Code Club and hour of code projects and hopefully also the Python Projects.
We are also probably going to be making more use of Repl.it too as we can use that for collaborating on projects or at least inviting other users to our projects which is really useful generally but does encourage collaboration. We have a team on there anyway so we can make more use of that.
