Raspberry Pi for the curious. Gololobov V.N.

Fans are not alien to the desire to try something new. With the advent of microcontrollers, a boom in the creation of devices on PIC and AVR microcontrollers began. For them, it was possible to independently assemble programmers, which was in the best traditions of radio amateurs. With the advent of Arduino, it became clear that this module is very convenient for the first experiments - you can connect different sensors, you can assemble useful devices. It would seem that it is still needed?

But with the advent of inexpensive STM32 modules, it began to seem to someone that Arduino is for children of younger and middle -aged. Both the memory is more and faster.

This book describes experiments with Raspberry Pi 3, a single -pay computer the size of a bank card. Initially, it was developed as a budget system for teaching computer science, which later gained much wider application and popularity than its authors expected.

The book uses the module and cable itself to connect to the USB port of the stationary computer. But for comfortable work, it is advisable to have a display that is connected via HDMI. Need a cable for connecting through this entrance to the TV or monitor, if the last such input have. To power the module, it is advisable to have a native power supply. If the module was bought without an SD card with the operating system, then it is advisable to have one or two such cards of the 10th class of 16 GB. And then not expensive for many Raspberry Pi becomes much more expensive. Therefore, I advise you to read what is written in this book before buying Raspberry Pi, in order to fully decide the purchase.

for a wide range of readers carried away by electronics and programming.
