Description: Raspberry Pi. User guide - Gareth Halfacree, Eben Upton
You don't have to show anyone a computer that fits in your hand. Every electronic enthusiast has heard ofRaspberry Pi
. However, not everyone can make the most of it. And there are as many ideas for using it as many of its users.
TheRaspberry Pi
world guide will make the first steps with this extremely popular platform easier. It is worth noting that one of its authors is Eben Upton himself - the co-founder of Raspberry Pi. Thanks to this item, the reader will learn about the x86 and ARM architecture and the advantages and operation of Linux, which is used to work on RPi. The book can be treated as an extended manual, which presents both the basics (e.g. connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse) and more advanced aspects related to the mini-computer (e.g. Linux management, Scratch and Python programming).
|
The book is based on examples that are available online at thisaddress. |
An important part of the book is learning to control other devices withRaspberry Pi. For example, it can become a multimedia centre or a web server. And this is just an introduction to creating your own projects. One of the chapters is devoted to expansion boards such as Gertboard. This publication
stimulates creativity and willingness to test the acquired knowledge. Thanks to it, Raspberry Pi will have no more secrets from the reader.|
