Explore the Raspberry Pi in 45 Electronics Projects (3rd Edition)

3rd Edition—Fully updated for Raspberry Pi 4

The Raspberry Pi is a very cheap but complete computer system that allows all sorts of electronic parts and extensions to be connected. This book addresses one of the strongest aspects of the Raspberry Pi: the ability to combine hands-on electronics and programming.

Combine hands-on electronics and programming.

After a short introduction to the Raspberry Pi, you proceed with installing the required software. The SD card that can be purchased in conjunction with this book contains everything to get started with the Raspberry Pi. On the side of the (optional) Windows PC, software is used that is free for downloading. The book continues with a concise introduction to the Linux operating system, after which you start programming in Bash, Python 3, and Javascript. Although the focus is on Python, the coverage is brief and to the point, allowing you to understand all projects and adapt them to your needs. All set, you can carry on with enjoyable projects.

The book is ideal for self-study.

No fewer than 45 exciting and compelling projects are discussed and elaborated on in detail. From flashing lights to driving an electromotor; from processing and generating analog signals to a lux meter and a temperature control. We also move to more complex projects like a motor speed controller, a web server with CGI, client-server applications, and X Windows programs.

Each project has details of the way it was designed that way.

The process of reading, building, and programming not only provides insight into the Raspberry Pi, Python, and the electronic parts used but also enables you to modify or extend the projects any way you like. Also, feel free to combine several projects into a larger design.
