Synopsis:

What can you do with the Raspberry Pi, a $35 computer the size of a credit card? All sorts of things! If you’re learning how to program, or looking to build new electronic projects, this hands-on guide will show you just how valuable this flexible little platform can be.

This book takes you step-by-step through many fun and educational possibilities. Take advantage of several preloaded programming languages. Use the Raspberry Pi with Arduino. Create Internet-connected projects. Play with multimedia. With Raspberry Pi, you can do all of this and more.

  • Get acquainted with hardware features on the Pi’s board
  • Learn enough Linux to move around the operating system
  • Pick up the basics of Python and Scratch—and start programming
  • Draw graphics, play sounds, and handle mouse events with the Pygame framework
  • Use the Pi’s input and output pins to do some hardware hacking
  • Discover how Arduino and the Raspberry Pi complement each other
  • Integrate USB webcams and other peripherals into your projects
  • Create your own Pi-based web server with Python

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Raspberry Pi platform was developed to lower the barriers to teaching young people programming, and it is also popular with hardware hackers and hobbyists who may have a project that needs more computing power than a microcontroller. The first section of the book gets you up and running; after the first chapter the reader will have installed the operating system, will have an understanding of all the hardware features of the Pi, and will have set up the small computer with the correct power source and peripherals. This is followed by a quick start user guide, with enough context and examples of commands to get around the computer. The book also provides instructions for getting started with programming in Scratch and Python, and examples of using the general purpose input and output interface. Finally, the reader is guided through two hands on hardware hacking projects. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005456803
