The goal of this book is to get you up and running with your Raspberry Pi 3 as soon as you take it out of the box. Here’s an idea of what you’ll find inside this • What is the Raspberry Pi 3? • How is it different from the other Raspberry Pi Models? • How is it the same as previous models? • What operating system should I install? What if I am a beginner? • How do I access the software? • How do I connect to the internet? • I heard that it is good for project involving the Internet of Things – what does that mean? • I have a Raspberry Pi 3, but is there anything else I need? Do I need a monitor and keyboard? What about WiFi? Does it have enough power? Can I plug four USB devices in it and it still work properly? • I want to build my own circuits. What should I get? Are kits good investments for beginners? • What is GPIO and what does it mean to me? • How can I used Mathematica or Python to control the GPIO? • How do I access Mathematica or Python to start running my own programs? • What are some really good online resources as I continue my journey?
This book is awesome and has returned me back to the days when I was a young programmer starting in the day a processing world some time ago far far away.
I was lunch to start programming on and ibm midrange computer with no formal training and I fell as if my world has opened up again to me with promises of great adventure into the unknown w world of computers. I can wait for the adventure to begin.... it my fountain of youth in a box I assume.
Thoughtfully presented, my questions where answered as they occurred to me. I was able to build a todo list and assemble the parts, equipment and software I needed for my first project. The computer is available with little information unless ordered in a kit. This book list kit components and their.use so that you get only the stuff you need.
