Outline Introduction to Raspberry Pi Python Electronics Linux

What is a Raspberry Pi? University of Cambridge’s Computer Laboratory – Decline in skill level – Designed for education A credit card sized PC Plugs into a TV or monitor Inexpensive(ish) 35 each Capability: – – – – Programming Electronic Projects Office Play HD Videos

Variations of Raspberry Pi Hardware platform – – – – Raspberry Pi Zero ( 5) Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi 2 Raspberry Pi 3 (with Wifi Bluetooth) Software platform – – – – Noobs Raspbian 3rd OS https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

Kit Components Essential: – – – – – Raspberry Pi board Prepared Operating System SD Card USB keyboard Display (with HDMI, DVI, or Composite input) Power Supply Highly suggested extras include: – – – – USB mouse Internet connectivity - LAN cable Powered USB Hub Case

Programming Languages The Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends Python Any language which will compile for ARMv6 can be used Installed by default on the Raspberry Pi: – – – – – C C Java Scratch Ruby

Challenges and Opportunities New operating system: linux Open-source, all almost tools/software are free Rich resources on the web due to its popularity Resources link: www.raspberrypicamp.org Pi Educational Document (resources above link) Pinet: Centralised user accounts and file storage system for a Raspberry Pi classroom. http://pinet.org.uk/

Linux Interesting, powerful Variations (Ubuntu, debian, feroda, redhat) Command line Raspberry Pi: Raspian (Debian-based) Pinet: Ubuntu server Raspberry Pis Linux: robust, secure, easy to use, powerful

Programming By default, supporting Python as the educational language. Any language which will compile for ARMv6 can be used with the Raspberry Pi, though; so you’re not limited to using Python. For primary age SCRATCH game maker is bundled

What kind of projects ? Video DJ Mixer integrated Media player for your TV to fight the rampant Lego Robot Monster who is detected by your Home monitoring webcam network which reports also from the Weather Station that uses the Car Super Bramble Computer to tell the School Notice-board that the Solar powered Wireless Rocket Widget should be sent back to earth .

Tinkering GPIO pins if you’re after an interesting electronics project. Gertboard - A GPIO expansion board from the foundation for electronics projects USB Devices / Ethernet / Hubs / AV out Can be powered by 4 x AA batteries .
