Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.

We have on hand several Raspberry Pi boards, of various models, as well as other computers throughout our space for all our members to use (without any additional required training).

Classes

Pikes Peak Makerspace announces its Upcoming events, including classes, on Meetup

Training

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.)

Events

Pi Day, March 14th (3/14), is celebrated yearly often by eating pie, pizza, and/or reciting the digits of pi.
It was started in 1988 by the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco: https://www.exploratorium.edu/pi

Tips

Shut down the Raspberry Pi properly, just pulling the plug may cause memory card corruption. Use the GUI or the command: sudo shutdown -h now


How to Rotate the Raspberry Pi screen


At times the Pi 3 B+ may seem slow or unresponsive, so check the green light at the edge of the board for activity.
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (2017) 1400 MHz:
WolframMark Benchmark Result: 0.14
Raspberry Pi 400 1800 MHz:
WolframMark Benchmark Result: 0.23
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (2018), 2000 MHz:
WolframMark Benchmark Result: 0.24

For Additional Help
