Mar.3 RaspberryPi start-up for course

Quick Set-up Need

RaspberryPi cannot be used straight of the box, because the box only has the 1 small board of the computer. It was designed for using in Computer Science education, so the set-up is a part of this education.  Being low-cost and many have it fits our criteria for use in the course. 

However so our focus stays on the IEC 61499 / 4DIAC course, a quick guide to set-up HW for RaspberryPi projects that map to the lessons is needed.  [This Post will be updated.]

This blog entry will be collection of how-to links used to get going with RaspberryPi: generally; with HW needed for lessons; and to use with 4DIAC. With additional text the better links will go into the course.

Generally

• RI-P quick start guide
• Power supply that uses mini-USB connection with 5 Volts input and at least 700mA.
• Raspian O/S +
• Display set-up (coming)
•  USB Mouse and Keyboard (USB power supply may be needed)
• Alt. Use SSH to use computer keyboard see Jan.7 Tech it Easy Blog post:
• Getting started with Raspberry Pi (without needing a separate keyboard) 

HW needed for lessons

• LED
• Light sensor
• motor  (Gertboard needed)
