The Culprit Raspberry-Pi
What is a Raspberry Pi? A credit-card-sized single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation to promote teaching of basic computer science in schools. Hardware includes a Broadcom BCM 2835 System on a Chip (So. C): ARM 1176 JZF-S 700 MHz processor Video. Core IV GPU, 512 MB RAM. SD card for booting and long-term storage. The Price can vary depending on how much you want to buy…But!
Raspberry Pi – A low cost platform for Home Projects. …. . Including Ham Radio
What is a Raspberry Pi continued. . . (The Wiki answer…. ) The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games. What’s more, the Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to learn to program and understand how computers work.
So What does thing do Really? Well…… Quite A bit actually!
What can Pi do? Browse the Internet E-mail Office Applications (Libre Office suite) Play Music & Videos Display Photos Print Connect USB devices (e. g. Wi. Fi, Flash Drives, Webcams, etc. )
What else can Pi do? Develop Electronics projects Create programs in various languages Control devices like cameras, lights, 3 D printers Lots more!
A Quick History… How did all this get started? The story begins with a couple of Engineers and Educators discussing how most students have no idea how a modern computer works. Oh they’ll tell you they know all how to use an “Xbox” or “Nintendo Wii” or some other such thing. But they had absolutely no idea how the inner workings of a modern computer are configured. No idea of the hardware involved or how it was interconnected. (What’s a bus? Ram? Rom, Eprom? Or what the heck is I/O) They had no programming skills, not even any basic electronics skills.
So…. They Went to work! The Raspberry Pi launched in 2012, and there have been several iterations and variations released since then. The original Pi had a single-core 700 MHz CPU and just 256 MB RAM, and the latest model has a quad -core 1. 4 GHz CPU with 1 GB RAM. The main price point for Raspberry Pi has always been $35 and all models have been $35 or less, including the Pi Zero, which costs just $5.
How much does a Raspberry Pi by itself Cost? About $35. 00 Yes…. $35. 00 But as always there’s always a catch!
Well. . . it depends. . . Just like a car, model, and accessories make a difference. . . How much do you want to spend?
You’re gonna need other stuff at least initially! “Accessories” The Basics…. And Also…. The catch is the monitor has to be an HDMI compliant Monitor. Sorry, that’s how they built them…. .
Well, How many different Pi models are there? Actually, quite a few. . . we'll cover a few of them. . .
So it depends on the kind of Pi you want! PI 4 ? or PI 3 ?
What does a Pi look like?
But after some initial Configuration… You can run your Pi in “Headless Mode”. Ok, Maybe not that kind of headless. Maybe this kind…. Which just means…. Minimal Connections. No keyboard, Mouse or Monitor attached. Everything runs via Telnet, or VNC
Operating Systems
Yes, it is true, the Raspbian is the best OS for the Pi 3, and it is official too. You just need to dump the image file of the Raspbian on your SD card to install it on Pi 3. Though you may be a little bit confused person while using Raspbian if you are a first time user of Linux, it is the most popular Pi 3 OS in the world in which you will also get an enjoyable experience. The Raspbian is a lightweight OS which is based on Debian distribution It is specifically designed to work for Raspberry Pi devices It comes with pre-installed software like Libre. Office, email client, etc. It also includes a Minecraft special version to help you make something You will easily find the guidelines and troubleshooting for Raspbian There are dozens of videos available on You. Tube also for the understanding and using Raspbian OS
Software in Raspian (Default - version of Debian Linux) Other Op. Sys available including Windows 10 Libre Office Suite Program Languages (Python, Sonic Pi, Scratch, Wolfram, etc. ) Web Browser, Email, Text Editor, PDF viewer, Image viewer, File Manager, Terminal, Calculator, Music and Video Players, etc. Games
Most of the Pi users still stick to the Raspbian, but the new and advanced Operating Systems are giving a tough competition to it. Mainly due to its buggy and sluggish behavior. And one of these latest Operating Systems is New Pidora 2014. It is a remix version of the popular Fedora OS for Raspberry Pi. It is based on the latest Fedora build for the ARMv 6 architecture It uses Fedora 20 package set The carry forwarded components and applications of Fedora offers greater speed while using Pidora OS on Raspberry Pi The unique feature of headless mode allows you to install it on your Raspberry Pi even if you do not have a display It comes with all the essential software for the Raspberry Pi alongside other useful software

Anyone here who own a computer and do not have installed any game on it? I think the answer is negative because everyone loves games. Some are addicted to it while some play games just for having some relaxing time. No matter what, but if you want to play games on your Raspberry Pi, then the Retro Pi is the platform you will need to enjoy at full pace. Retro Pi is an all-in-one gaming platform which turns your Pi 3 into a high-class retro gaming machine It is built on Raspbian, Emulation. Station, etc. projects, which means you need not to be a scientist of Linux You can directly install it on your Raspbian OS You can configure and customize the inbuilt tools of Retro Pi as per your need
If you bought the Pi 3 for coding and programming specifically, then the Windows 10 Io. T Core is the best option to go with. Don’t get confused with the name because the Pi will not support the same Windows 10 version we use on our desktop PC, but uses a slightly simpler and slimmed down version of the OS. Windows 10 Io. T Core is best for prototype development of connected devices Projects like automated robots, home automation system, building smart gadgets, etc. can be successfully completed by the support of this Operating System It also works on Pi 2, Dragon. Board 410 C, and Minnow. Max Boards Applications like a web server like sensor to a temperature reader are best built with this OS for Pi 3 You need to install Visual Studio on your Windows Raspberry Pi PC which is necessary to control and program your device through it if you want to use Windows OS
