Video description

The world of Raspberry Pi is evolving quickly, with many new interface boards and software libraries becoming available all the time. In this video, prolific hacker and author Simon Monk introduces more than 60 practical recipes for running this tiny low-cost computer with Linux, programming it with Python, and hooking up sensors, motors, and other hardware—including Arduino.

: You’ll also learn basic principles to help you use new technologies with Raspberry Pi as its ecosystem develops. Python and other code examples from the book are available on GitHub. This cookbook is ideal for programmers and hobbyists familiar with the Pi through resources such as Getting Started with Raspberry Pi (O’Reilly).

  • Program Raspberry Pi with Python
  • Control hardware through the GPIO connector
  • Use Raspberry Pi to run different types of motors
  • Work with switches, keypads, and other digital inputs
  • Hook up sensors for taking various measurements
  • Attach different displays, such as an LED matrix
  • Create dynamic projects with Raspberry Pi and Arduino
