The Unofficial Raspberry Pi Beginners Guide.

How to make the most of your new computer. Edition 4 includes many improved edits to help with dynamic viewing devices such as for PDF, Flipbook, Kindle Fire and Kindle Reader. There are a great many tutorials online from a variety of sources. This book brings together the author's knowledge of the Raspberry Pi and the understanding developed over the course of many releases. This book is the definitive resource on the Raspberry Pi 3. With projects specifically designed for the Pi 3.The third in the series this book goes further and with even more projects for the Pi 4. With added projects, the fourth edition expands on the previous books in the series. 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.

The Raspberry Pi can do all the types of things you expect from a regular PC – everything from browsing the internet and playing games to watching movies and listening to music. But Raspberry Pi is much more than a modern computer. This book will begin with the peripherals you’ll need and how to set it up and install distros familiar to you. Raspbian tutorials then introduce you to the creative potential of the device. A weather station, music streamer and Twitter-powered LAMP are a few of the many project tutorials we’ve shown you how to create, and there’s also a section on how to get started with Scratch and Python programming.

Like its predecessors, the Raspberry Pi 3 (PI, or Pi 3 Model B) is a $35-$55 computer the size of a credit card that can be plugged into a monitor or television. The board is powerful enough to stream 1080p video, browse the web or write documents, and it was designed to be portable enough to carry around without breaking. Several distros of Linux run on the Raspberry Pi, including Arch Linux, Debian "wheezy", and Raspbian — a Pi-optimised version of Debian. The PI, again like its predecessors, can interact outside of itself via easy-to-use sensors that communicate with it through its GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) interface. For those of you already familiar with the RP, be aware that the PI board will look very similar to that of its predecessors, but don’t be deceived! The PI is significantly faster, more powerful, and offers better energy management than any other RPs. It also has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, making it ready to engage with the Internet of Things.

The projects include:
Setting Up the Pi
Create your own Pi Media Centre
Wireless Hacking
Mega TV walls
Learn enough Linux to move around the operating system with confidence
Pick up the basics of Python and Scratch—and start programming
Use the Pi’s input and output pins to do some hardware hacking
Integrate USB webcams and other peripherals into your projects
Create your own Pi-based web server with Python

This book takes you step-by-step through fun and educational possibilities. Write programs in Scratch and Python. Use the Raspberry Pi with Arduino. Create many Internet-connected projects. Play with multimedia. With Raspberry Pi, you can do all of this and more.

The Raspberry Pi has awakened a whole new generation of hardware geeks, hackers and hobbyists, and now it's your turn to join their ranks.
