What amazing things can you do with the Raspberry Pi, an affordable credit - card - sized computer? A whole lot! Whether you're new to programming or want to build new electronic parts, this guide is your ticket to unlocking the potential of this flexible platform. Updated to cover Raspberry Pi Models 2 and 3, it walks you through numerous fun and educational opportunities. Leverage preloaded programming languages, pair it with Arduino, create Internet - connected projects, and enjoy multimedia. Here are the features: get to know the Pi's hardware, learn basic Linux for system navigation, start Python programming, hack hardware with input and output pins, see how Arduino and the Pi work together, build a web server with Python, use the camera module and webcams, and make the Pi the heart of your IoT project. Info: Authors are Matt Richardson and Shawn Wallace, published by O'Reilly Media/Make Media, 186 - page paperback, ISBN - 13: 978 - 1 - 6804 - 5246 - 4.
Using the Raspberry Pi from this guide is super easy. First, get familiar with the hardware features as described in the book. You'll learn just enough Linux to move around the operating system, so don't worry if you're new to it. To start programming, Python is a great place to begin. Just follow the step - by - step instructions. When working with the input and output pins for hardware hacking, be careful not to short - circuit anything. If you're using it with Arduino, make sure the connections are secure. When creating your web server with Python, follow the examples closely. For the camera module and webcams, check the connections and the software settings. As for maintenance, keep the Raspberry Pi in a cool, dry place. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. And make sure to update the software regularly as recommended in the guide to keep it running smoothly.
