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.
All our members can work on their Raspberry Pi projects at PPM without any additional required training (Level 1).
External Training
Links to external sites:
- Product Information Portal
- Raspberry Pi hardware
- Raspberry Pi — official documentation
- Raspberry Pi tutorials — "build easily and affordably"
Tips
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
- To find out which shell you're using, run the command
echo $SHELLorps $$ - List font cache
fc-list | grep "DejaVu Sans" - If a Pi 3 B+ seems slow or unresponsive, check the green light at the edge of the board for activity
