Revision as of 13:55, 29 March 2025

Raspberry Pi's are "single-board and modular computers or micro controllers, built on the Arm architecture, often running a Linux operating system."

To help out with Raspberry Pi projects at PPM, post your ideas and comments on our Slack #electronics channel.

Level 1 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

All our members can work on their Raspberry Pi projects at PPM without any additional required training (Level 1).

Tips

The Raspberry Pi was originally going be a computer that could only run the Python language.

(That is how it got the second half of its name.)

50 Raspberry Pi Hacks & Tips You Should Know
Five Ways To Run a Program On Your Raspberry Pi At Startup
Rotate the Raspberry Pi screen
  • To find out which shell you're using, run the command echo $SHELL or ps $$
  • List/check installed fonts fc-list | grep "DejaVu Sans"
  • If the Pi 3 B+ seems slow or unresponsive, check the green light at the edge of the board for activity
  • WolframMark Benchmark Results:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (2017), 1400 MHz: 0.14
Raspberry Pi 400, 1800 MHz: 0.23
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (2018), 2000 MHz: 0.24


Shut down the Raspberry Pi properly:

(just pulling the plug could cause memory card corruption.)

☐ Use the graphical user interface (GUI), or
☐ Use the command: sudo shutdown -h now
