A heads up from David, who reads what I put online, refers to my earlier examinations of the Raspberry Pi computer. I bought one of these last year and eventually passed it on to one of my students.

A number of these guys have developed an interest in the Raspberry Pi and they would get more mileage out of it than I ever could.

However, David sent me a link to an application from Fabrizio Boco that is available in the Mac App Store: Raspberry Manager. It allows a Mac user to control the Raspberry Pi board and receive information on the Mac.

There are also a number of widgets available that can be installed to enhance the interfacing between the two devices. Details of thirteen are listed on the App panel in The Mac App Store, although twenty are apparently available.
