Revision as of 17:28, 11 June 2023
Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, software, 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).
The information on this page is incomplete.
Please post your suggestions on our Slack channel #ppm-wiki.

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:
- use the GUI or the command:
sudo shutdown -h now - (just pulling the plug may cause memory card corruption.)
- use the GUI or the command:
- list/check installed fonts
fc-list | grep "DejaVu Sans" - 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
