Description
You've probably heard of the increasingly popular Raspberry Pi minicomputer. Thanks to numerous extensions and sample projects, its capabilities are growing at a rapid pace. Currently, it is used, for example, as an intelligent building controller, multimedia centre or web server. This book will help you to realize your own project based on "Raspberry".
Thanks to this item the reader will learn how to create software in Pythton language, using the IDLE editor. The book describes the first steps related to the configuration and selection of mini-computer accessories and the basics of Linux operating system. In the following chapters the author introduces the way of programming in the Python language. Then he shows how to easilybuildyour own robot using RaspiRobot board.
In the book they are described:
- Raspberry Pi platform with accessories
- Python basics
- simple design based on Raspberry Pi
- building your own robot - RaspiRobot
