Learn Raspberry Pi

This lesson shows you how to create an SD card for your Raspberry Pi.

In this lesson, we will show you how to set up your Raspberry Pi the first time you boot it up.

In this lesson, you will learn how to connect to the Internet wirelessly and with an Ethernet cable, and also find the IP address of your Raspberry Pi.

In this tutorial, you are not actually building anything, but you will learn how to configure your Raspberry Pi and install useful libraries ready to start attaching some external electronics to it.

In this lesson, you will learn how to remote control your Raspberry Pi with a console cable.

In this lesson, you will learn how to remote control your Raspberry Pi over your local network using Secure Shell (SSH).

Write a Python program to control a servo motor with a Raspberry Pi using the Occidentalis Servo/PWM kernel module.

This lesson describes how to control both the speed and direction of a DC motor using Python and an L293D chip.

In this lesson, you will learn how to control a stepper motor using your Raspberry Pi and the same L293D motor control chip that you used with the DC motor in Lesson 9. The Lesson will also show you how to use an alternative driver chip, the ULN2803.

In this lesson, you will learn how to use a DS18B20 with the Raspberry Pi to take temperature readings. Since the Raspberry Pi has no ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), it cannot directly use an analog temperature sensor like the TMP36, making the DS18B20 a good choice for temperature sensing.

In this lesson, you will learn how to use the digital inputs on the GPIO connector with a door sensor and a PIR motion detector.

In this lesson, you will combine the PIR sensor from [Lesson 12] with the Powerswitch Tail 2 module from Adafruit, to automatically switch something on when movement is detected.
