The Raspberry Pi is a low cost computer motherboard running on Linux and costs less than £30. Since it’s launch millions have been sold to students and hobbyists around the world.  The Raspberry Pi has a General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) interface to connect to the outside world. This allows the user to control external devices and make measurements.  The Custard Pi range of accessories is designed to plug into the GPIO of the raspberry Pi. The various modules provide a number of useful functions.  For example, the Custard Pi 2 has 2 Digital to Analogue (DAC) convertors, 2 Analogue to Digital Convertors (ADC), buffered digital inputs and 4 Open Collector outputs. The Custard Pi 6 has 8 relays which are controlled using the I2C interface bus. If needed, they can be used together to build up a system.  This book presents detailed circuit descriptions on the Custard Pi range and provides Python test code. This allows the user to start using them very quickly. Schematics are provided to enable the experienced electronic engineer to modify the cards if required. There is also a chapter on how the various cards can be combined to build up complex systems.

The Manual of Portable Appliance Testing gives practical answers to questions raised during PAT testing. It is much easier to understand than the IEE Code of Practice (COP). It strikes a balance between giving enough technical background and easy to follow practical advice in implementing a PAT testing scheme. Someone wanting to undertake PAT testing using a PASS/FAIL PAT Tester need only read through the Overview, Planning and Doing the Work sections to get started. If they come across any appliances that they are not quite sure how to test, then a quick look within the Test Examples section should provide an answer. For those wanting more technical information on how the tests are done and how to interpret the test results, the PAT Testing: Technical Information section should provide all the answers they are looking for. This section contains many practical tips and hints regarding PAT Testing of a variety of appliances that are found in offices, homes, schools and factories. Many of these are based around questions either from delegates or calls to our technical support line. Useful reference information has been tucked away in the Appendix. This includes a chapter on Basic Electrical Theory and a background to Electric Shock. This book is equally valuable to the newcomer to PAT Testing who intends to test in-house as well as the more experienced practitioner who plans to provide a PAT Testing service to other companies.

More than a million Sri Lankan Tamils now live abroad having left the country during the civil war. Many are fluent in the language of their host country be that English, German, French or Italian. Their children, who might speak Tamil at home, would rarely use it outside of the house. There will come a time when many in the Diaspora would want to visit Sri Lanka and knowledge of Tamil would help then enormously. There are also a large number of western travellers, businessmen and NGO staff that spend time in both Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu who would find this book useful in getting around. This book is aimed at both these groups of people. It is divided up into small sections that can easily be found. The English word is followed by the Tamil one and a pronunciation guide. The use of the Tamil script is important to help readers learn the different letters and recognise them in road and shop signs.
