by Simon Monk
This lesson shows you how to create an SD card for your Raspberry Pi.
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 2. First Time Configuration
Set up your Raspberry Pi for the first time
by Simon Monk
In this lesson, we will show you how to setup your Raspberry Pi the first time you boot it up.
POPULAR
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 3. Network Setup
Learn how to connect to the Internet wirelessly or with Ethernet
by Simon Monk
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
POPULAR
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 4. GPIO Setup
Learn how to setup your Pi for Hacking Electronics
by Simon Monk
In this tutorial, you are not actually build anything, but you will learn how to configure your Raspberry Pi and install useful libraries ready to start attaching some external electronics to it.
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 5. Using a Console Cable
Learn how to Connect to your Raspberry Pi with a Console Cable
by Simon Monk
In this lesson you will learn how to remote control your Raspberry Pi with a console cable.
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 6. Using SSH
Learn how to remote control your Raspberry Pi using SSH
by Simon Monk
In this lesson you will learn how to remote control your Raspberry Pi over your local network using Secure Shell (SSH).

Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 7. Remote Control with VNC
Work on your Raspberry Pi graphically, from another computer
by Simon Monk
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 8. Using a Servo Motor
Write a Python program to control a servo motor with a Raspberry Pi
by Simon Monk
Write a Python program to control a servo motor with a Raspberry Pi using the Occidentalis Servo/PWM kernel module
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 9. Controlling a DC Motor
Drive a DC motor forward and in reverse with variable speed
by Simon Monk
This lesson describes how to control both the speed and direction of a DC motor using Python and a L293D chip.
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 10. Stepper Motors
Control a stepper motor with a L293D or ULN2803
by Simon Monk
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

Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 11. DS18B20 Temperature Sensing
Measure temperature with your Raspberry Pi using the DS18B20
by Simon Monk
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.
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 12. Sensing Movement
Sense movement and doors opening with your Raspberry Pi
by Simon Monk
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.
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 13. Power Control
Control 110V devices from your Raspberry Pi
by Simon Monk
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.
