Toorcamp Raspberry Pi Workshop
Event Information
Description
Want to lear to interact with the real world using a Raspberry Pi? This workshop aims to teach the skills of setting up a Raspberry Pi Linux computer and working with Input and Output (GPIO).
Using a Raspberry Pi and GPIO you can react and control the real world! We will teach you the skills you need to read temperature, light, control LEDs, move a servo (motor), and more!
This workshop will be split into two three-hour sessions. Part one will be installing and booting your Raspberry Pi, running python, and getting things going- ideally blinking LEDs by the end of class. Part two will involve dicussing python concepts, driving servos, reading temperature of both an analog source and 1-wire source, and other real-world interactions.
Requirements for this class are:
A laptop or computer with a free USB port and Administrator or root access to the system.
This class has two tiers:
Tier 1 Includes a kit with a breadboard, sensors, LEDs, Wifi, etc. You must bring your own Raspberry Pi.
Tier 2 Comes with a Raspberry Pi, and includes everything from the kit in Tier1.
