Raspberry Pi
Overview
After completing this course-
- Participants will be able to Setup and operate the Raspberry Pi
- Participants will be able to understand the basics of the Linux OS used on the Pi
- Participants will be able to understand the basics of the X Windows System (the GUI environment) and Program the Pi for a simple GUI-based game
- Participants will be able to program the Pi to access a network,
- to play audio,
- to control light emitting diodes (LEDs) attached to the GPIO pins,
- to get feedback from a switch connected to the GPIO pins,
- to get the temperature from a sensor connected to the GPIO pins
- to detect room light from a photocell censor connected to the GPIO pins
- The labs for this training have to be ready well in advance there are no other prerequisites for the class.
- Participants who have some java programming experience will find following the lab instructions more straight forward
