Level 1 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

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.

Contact Us if you cannot find your answer here on our Wiki or if you notice any information that is outdated.

Past 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

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
