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.

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 $SHELL or ps $$
