+TheNumberOne Page A case is necessary for the raspberry pi, because if you dont have it and accidentally place it on a conductable surface, it wont work and might even be destroyed.
another solution if you don't have a spare monitor, mouse and keyboard is installing xrdp which lets you get a graphical remotedesktop as supported by Windows out of the box or via downloadable software on other os. it is not thought for watching videos on it but it gives you a graphical surface.
I'd like to provide a different source of power to the pi. I wanted to tap into one of my HVAC 24VAC lines. Where would I find a tranformer that takes 24VAC and outputs 5VDC with enough amperage?
You can use GUI programs over ssh, if you have a reasonable fast wifi. If you are on windows, then you need a software like Xming and Putty to show the programs, on linux it works (most of the time, if you have X installed) out of the box. GPIO: General-purpose input/output 3.3V is a standard voltage for logic boards. If you search arround, there are lots of equipment that works on 3.3-5V
hey I am totally new to raspberry pi. can you guide me to use raspberry pi to control 4relays using input via switch from the user. and those relays to be also controlled wirelessly by android device via ip using web.
great video, thank you, James. Will you be creating a tutorial on how to create your own POGO plug? I would really love to make one of those. THANKS!!!
if you plug the pi's power source into a USB 3.0 port on the computer, it will get enough power for quite a few things, as USB 3.0 spec requires up to 1.5A capabilities
The f.. what do you mean? You want to make a retro game? That could mean several different things, by itself, so please explain in more detail. The Raspberry Pi is just a very small and cheap personal computer. You could use it to play retro games on it.
there are ways to erase the memory on a NES/SNES cartridge (well, probably any cartridge game), get/create a modified ROM of some game, and have it compiled and written to the cartridge's memory. HOWEVER, you'll need additional, pretty-penny hardware to do so.
I have an Arduino. Should I get a Raspberry Pi, as well? He made it sound like the Arduino has more capabilities. The thing is, I've used it at school (only once) with MATLAB. When I'm done with my course, I'd like to continue tinkering around with it. I just don't know, what kind of stuff can I do? Are these things circuit boards and really small, programmable computers? Don't worry everyone, now I have one of each!
In short: The Arduino lets you do more with standard electronics. The Pi lets you do more with software. With the Arduino, you're basically limited to programming in C - unless you interface with a PC and use standard firmata. With the Pi, you can program in anything you want - Perl, Java, Javascript, whatever.
Remember when you could power the Pi with only 500mA? Yeah... Glad to see the Pi having made huge steps the past 6 years, computing power comes at a higher electricity cost however...
Can you link your video you mention at the 5:25 minute mark? I've attempted to find it and can't anywhere - I'd be interested to see how you went about making a ToR router, thanks.
we are doing our project based on raspberry pi and since we are new to this ,we are facing alot of difficulties,could you suggest someone or group who we could contact to ask for help???
i own two pies and i use one for a web enabled cloud storage server and my other is my primary school computer that i use to make power point presentations and writing papers, previously used both for bit coin mining.
hey i heard python is mainly used in rsp but can we use C to control gpio and other stuff (like shields). if possible is there good community, libraries for C.
Wow so many words I don't know. 😆Imma see if I can get some tech girl at school to help me. I have a laptop but I have an old 32 inch tv that can double as a display sooo I want to see if I can use this.
If I have a live Linux distro (Puppy, Fedora, Suse for instance), installed on a USB stick, can I not use it to boot the PI in lieu of a memory card? Thanks
Data rot has become an increasing concern for me in regards to many things music in particular. I was thinking about turning my Pi into a music player with a mutli-terabyte hard drive with lossless rips of all my CD's. Any suggestions or recommendations on how to go about it?
Dosbomber I have used linux, but I still return to Windows every time, there are more compatibility with programs I need on windows. Programs that wine won't run at that.
ChilledCanadian Yeah, I know, it's a nasty catch-22. Software developers won't make software for non-Windows platforms because everyone uses Windows, and everyone uses Windows because all the software is based in Windows. I think it's slowly improving, though.
Hi James, i bought some instructions material on the arduino and Rasp-pi on humble bundle, and i am waiting for my hardware to arrive next week. What is your background? It seems to me that everyone i hear of who makes something cool happen with the rasp-pi has a background in engineering or data.
+Madsovic999 I've been programming from a young age, but never professionally. Looks like an interesting bundle, but I still havent touched the last lot of Make books I got from Humble! I would advise not to try combining Arduino and Pi until you're completely comfortable with one or the other. Start with Arduino if the electronics side of things is more interesting; basic electronics isn't hard. If programming is more your interest, start with learning Python on Pi.
+MakeUseOf That's good to hear, i love tinkering, but i don't know if going professional (i.e. getting a degree in engineering) is a possibility for me. Thanks for the advice, i guess i will look around for an Arduino then. Cheers!
First thing I want to say is that this video was very useful.But while looking at your video I was wondering if I needed to know any programming language or other things like that. I know the basics of a computer and can understand a little bit Python. So will I be able to do something with it or is this too complicated for somoene like me?
+Gabe Newell It depends entirely on what you want to do! And if you don't feel entirely confident in your programming skills there's many tutorials out there that will give you a step-by-step guide.
+Alexander Ah, this is ages old now, can't remember - either Amazon or eBay, though I'm in the UK. It wasn't hugely expensive, or any particularly famous brand. Just a generic clear case.
+Hampus Gaming (H Channel) You can power it through the USB port of a laptop, but you'll still need a separate monitor and keyboard, or a network cable to log into it remotely.
I've been using my Pi for a year and I have never used a case and I handle it quite regularly. Is a case really necessary? And if so, why. I haven't shorted it yet so I don't think that is really an issue.
I'd quite like to get one of these for my nephew, but I'm concerned that, knowing nothing about the innards of computers, I'd be unable to do anything with it. How easy is it to set up and use and is it something a 10 year old pick up and use?
+MrNobody808 Depends what you want to do with it. You don't need to know anything about hardware, but you will need to learn some basic electronics if you want to interface your projects with sensors or motors. Mostly, it's a case of putting in an SD card, and plugging in a mouse and keyboard. For somethign specifically kid-friendly though, I'd recommend the Kano kit: www.kano.me/products/kano-kit (our review is here:th-cam.com/video/jwXfz0Bcx90/w-d-xo.html ) , which includes a guidebook and some coding tutorials, as well as educational software. Should make for a great Xmas present! You will need a monitor to plug it into though (or TV)
It doesn't matter if the GPIO output is only 3.3 volts. The TTL specs specifiy that a voltage above 2 volt is a logic 1 and a voltage below 0.8 volt is a logic 0. Therefore no transistors or fet's are needed to connect to other logic IC's.
We tend to avoid the copycats, even if they are more powerful, purely because they lack any kind of community support. If you have one specific use case in mind, it might be fine, but I wouldn't expect to follow other tutorials with it.
+bigyote Pi 2 is the newest, yes. Best option for beginner, since you'll get more performance when running the Raspbian interface. Nearly everything written for previous Pi models is compatible with 2.
Thanks. Is there a particular make of kit you recommend for the novice? and a good place to purchase? I want to do beginner stuff then camera related projects later in addition to Ubuntu OS...
I have waited sometime to see if this small all-in-one pc are any good for my future project. As of today I use a desktop computer as a broadband firewall, but it´s big, noisy and draw lots of power. If I could use a board like this with a linux firewall it would be great. But it has to have two network ports. As of today I can´t find any boards that have two network cable ports. Any suggestions?
Nope, mining died on these things years ago. If you have a decent graphics card, you can try NiceHash, which automatically mines the most profitable alt-coin, then trades it for bitcoin. You can't mine bitcoin directly, but you can make about a $1-$2/day mining altcoins and taking the profits in bitcoin.
Well just so everyone knows. The pi type computers were designed to spark the interest in younger people to want to become programmers or developers by a Professor at Cambridge University. The intent was to give young people exposure to a computer they could or would have to learn about not just load programs to someone's OS. So the short answer is the Raspberry Pi is capable of doing anything that you can make it do. If your not willing to learn how to do it yourself then go spend that 1000 dollars for the latest greatest PC.
Can you dual boot to Rpi? Id like to have XBMC (already setup fairly decently for all cinema related consumption). However I would like to dual boot into "Gaming Mode" and have some retro games available to play. Is this possible?
+Abhi Yadav There are many Linux flavors created for the Raspberry Pi. The one with the largest support base and with the most support is Raspbian, which I would reccomend for beginners. However, I dual boot my pi 2 from a 128gb MicroSD, with Arch Linux and Kali Linux. Make sure when downloading the .img file that it is made for the Raspberry Pi or for ARM processors.
DoctorCFG - Hosting CFG Yes, it does require a micro SD card, though you can configure it to only boot from there, then load the rest of the OS from a USB device
Enjoyed, the music at the end made my dog have an accident in my bed though, holy smokes that was loud
I'm watching this on my new raspberry pi

Awesome video - totally thinking of getting a Raspberry Pi... great tips. What is with the onion at 5:25?
It's a thinly veiled reference to TOR (The Onion Router) which is likely the critical component used anonymize his network traffic.
Klingon00 I love the kitten idea for all the images with that. lol Then maybe I'll actually explore it.
It could be to get an idea of the size, though an onion is a weird choice for a reference.

What do y'all personally use the Pi for? I'm thinking of picking one up, but not sure what to do with it.
What's the end song you have here? It reminds me of Crono Trigger...
I will make my pi say "I can't let you do that Dave..."
or "you humans! such a noble breed"! By the Q himself...
Are you going to create HAL?
Or Shakespeare: What a piece of work is man...

The f.. what do you mean? You want to make a retro game? That could mean several different things, by itself, so please explain in more detail.
The Raspberry Pi is just a very small and cheap personal computer. You could use it to play retro games on it.
Yeah, I did more research and now I know.
if you want to make a retro game you will pretty much need a time machine
And original IBM PC with 4.77Mhz, though you could try to overclock it to 5Mhz.
there are ways to erase the memory on a NES/SNES cartridge (well, probably any cartridge game), get/create a modified ROM of some game, and have it compiled and written to the cartridge's memory. HOWEVER, you'll need additional, pretty-penny hardware to do so.

Don't worry everyone, now I have one of each!
It is basically a full computer but with an ARM processor, so in terms of software it CAN be kind of limited.
In short: The Arduino lets you do more with standard electronics. The Pi lets you do more with software.
With the Arduino, you're basically limited to programming in C - unless you interface with a PC and use standard firmata. With the Pi, you can program in anything you want - Perl, Java, Javascript, whatever.
raspberry pi can do more but is more expensive. In fact, it is possible to go bare bones on pi (but why would you bother?)
Great introduction. Thanks!
