Raspberry Pi Cookbook: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Raspberry Pi Cookbook" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The world of Raspberry Pi is evolving quickly, with many new interface boards and software libraries becoming available all the time. In this cookbook, prolific hacker and author Simon Monk provides more than 200 practical recipes for running this tiny low-cost computer with Linux, programming it with Python, and hooking up sensors, motors, and other hardwareincluding Arduino.

Youll 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 (OReilly).

  • Set up and manage your Raspberry Pi
  • Connect the Pi to a network
  • Work with its Linux-based operating system
  • Use the Pis ready-made software
  • 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

Raspberry Pi Cookbook
Simon Monk
Preface

Since its launch in 2011, the Raspberry Pi has found a role both as a very low-cost Linux-based computer and as a platform for embedded computing. It has proven popular with educators and hobbyists alike, with over 2 million units sold since its release.

In this book, you will find a wide range of recipes using the Raspberry Pi, including recipes for getting started and setting up your Pi; recipes for using the Python programming language; and a large number of recipes about using the Raspberry Pi with sensors, displays, motors, and so on. The book also includes a chapter on using the Raspberry Pi with Arduino boards.

This book is designed in such a way that you can read it linearly, as you would a regular book, or access recipes at random. You can search the table of contents or index for the recipe that you want and then jump right to it. If the recipe requires you to know about other things, then it will refer you to other recipes, rather like a cookbook might refer you to base sauces before showing you how to cook something fancier.

The world of Raspberry Pi is one that moves quickly. With a large active community, new interface boards and software libraries are being developed all the time. So, besides many examples that use specific interface boards or pieces of software, the book also covers basic principles so that you can have a better understanding of how to use new technologies that come along as the Raspberry Pi ecosystem develops.

As you would expect, there is a large body of code (mostly Python programs) that accompanies the book. These programs are all open source and available on GitHub. Youll find a link to them at the Raspberry Pi Cookbook website.

For most of the software-based recipes, all you need is a Raspberry Pi. I recommend a Raspberry Pi model B. For recipes that involve making your own hardware to interface with the Raspberry Pi, I have tried to make good use of ready-made modules, as well as solderless breadboard and jumper wires to avoid the need for soldering.

For those wishing to make breadboard-based projects more durable, I suggest using protoyping boards with the same layout as a half-sized breadboard, such as those sold by Adafruit, so that the design can easily be transferred to a soldered solution.

5. Acknowledgments

As always, I thank Linda for her patience and support.

I also thank the technical reviewers Duncan Amos, Chaim Krause, and Steve Suehring; their comments were very helpful.

Rachel Roumeliotis has done a great job as editor on this project. Her pragmatic approach is very easy to work with and has made this a very interesting project to work on.

Thanks also to all the OReilly team, especially those I met at the Cambridge office, who were very welcoming when I visited, and of course Nan Reinhardt for her diligent copyediting.

Chapter 1. Setup and Management
1.0. Introduction

When you buy a Raspberry Pi, you are essentially buying an assembled printed circuit board. It does not even include a power supply or operating system.

The recipes in this chapter are concerned with getting your Raspberry Pi set up and ready for use.

Because the Raspberry Pi just uses standard USB keyboards and mice, most of the setup is pretty straightforward, so we will concentrate on those tasks that are specific to the Raspberry Pi.
