Power Adapter
LVDS Cable/Board
Raspberry Pi Model B
Mini-USB Cable (power)

13. Electronic Safety!
>
Unplug from wall before wiring
>
Get rid of static by touching a metal
surface
>
Don't touch exposed wires/metal
>
Never remove/insert SD Card while
power is on

14. Hooking Up the Pi (Part A)
Important: Connect everything before plugging into the wall
Insert the SD Card in to the Pi
1.

Will appear upside down when looking at the top
of your Pi
Insert the HDMI board into the Pi's HDMI
jack
Connect the Pi power to the HDMI board
2.
3.

Use the Micro USB Cable (short one)
14

15. Hooking Up the Pi (Part B)
Slide the LCD cable into the back of the display
4.


Side with gold connectors goes up
Be careful, the connector is fragile!
Connect the USB end to one of the Pi's USB
host ports
5.

This provides touch input
Hook up the USB keyboard
6.
1.
Use the Mini USB cable (long one)
Verify connections and plug into power now
15

16. Is it Working?
>
Should get a bunch of flashing LEDs to indicate booting

>
The LCD screen should light up

>
Boot takes approx 30 seconds
Might be dim if the light sensor is obstructed
And you will should see a Linux boot screen with lots of text
Hacking Time!

17. Logging In
At the login prompt type your username:
> pi
And enter the password:
> raspberry

18. Running Your First Application
Change directory to the project folder
> cd MaryHadALittleLambda
Run the build script
> ant

19. 19

20. Hacking the Code
Run the nano text editor:
> nano src/sample/MapObject.java
Save your changes:
> Control-O Enter
Exit Nano:
> Control-X
Compile/Run:
> ant

21. Mary Had a Little Lambda
Mary had a little lambda
Whose fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
Lambda was sure to go!

22. Generating Streams
From a collection:
> anyCollection.stream();
Known set of objects:
> Stream.of("bananas", "oranges", "apples");
Numeric range:
> IntStream.range(0, 50)
Iteratively:
> Stream.iterate(Color.RED,
>
c -> Color.hsb(c.getHue() + .1, c.getSaturation(),
>
c.getBrightness()));
22

23. Let's Create Some Barn Animals!
SpriteView tail = s.getAnimals().isEmpty() ?
s : s.getAnimals().get(s.getAnimals().size() - 1);
Stream.iterate(tail, SpriteView.Lamb::new)
.skip(1).limit(7)
.forEach(s.getAnimals()::add);
23

24. 24

25. Filtering Streams
Predicate Expression
> public interface Predicate<T> {
>
public boolean test(T t);
> }
Filter out minors
> adults = attendees.filter(a -> a.getAge() >= 1.8)
25

26. Rainbow-colored Lambs!
s.getAnimals().stream()
.filter(a -> a.getNumber() % 4 == 2)
.forEach(a -> a.setColor(Color.YELLOW));
s.getAnimals().stream()
.filter(a -> a.getNumber() % 4 == 3)
.forEach(a -> a.setColor(Color.CYAN));
s.getAnimals().stream()
.filter(a -> a.getNumber() % 4 == 0)
.forEach(a -> a.setColor(Color.GREEN));
26

27. 27

28. Filtering Collections
Collection.removeIf
> Removes all elements that match the predicate
List.replaceAll
> In-place filtering and replacement using an unary operator
ObservableCollection.filtered
> Returns a list filtered by a predicate this is also Observable
28

29. Picky Eaters…
Predicate<SpriteView> pure =
a -> a.getColor() == null;
mealsServed.set(mealsServed.get() +
s.getAnimals().filtered(pure).size()
);
s.getAnimals().removeIf(pure);

31. Mapping Streams
Applies a Map Function to each element:
> Function<? super T, ? extends R>
Result: List is the same size, but may be a different type.
31

32. Single Map
s.getAnimals().setAll(s.getAnimals()
.stream()
.map(sv -> new Eggs(sv.getFollowing())
.collect(Collectors.toList())
);
32

33. Or a Double Map!
s.getAnimals().setAll(s.getAnimals()
.stream()
.map(SpriteView::getFollowing)
.map(Eggs::new)
.collect(Collectors.toList())
);
33

34. 34

35. Flat Map
Applies a One-to-Many Map Function to each element:
> Function<? super T, ? extends Stream<? extends R>>
And then flattens the result into a single stream.
Result: The list may get longer and the type may be different.
35

36. Hatching Eggs
s.getAnimals().setAll(s.getAnimals()
.stream()
.flatMap(SpriteView.Eggs::hatch)
.collect(Collectors.toList())
);
36

37. 37

38. Reduce
Reduces a list to a single element given:
> Identity: T
> Accumulator: BinaryOperator<T>
Result: List of the same type, but only 1 element left.
38

39. And the (formerly little) Fox ate them all!
Double mealSize = shepherd.getAnimals()
.stream()
.map(SpriteView::getScaleX)
.reduce(0.0, Double::sum);
setScaleX(getScaleX() + mealSize * .2);
setScaleY(getScaleY() + mealSize * .2);
shepherd.getAnimals().clear();
