This class is for a very beginner audience. If you are a parent that wants to understand what your kids are doing with that little electronic device school project, this class can be an asset. If you want to just see what kind of equipment is necessary to use a Raspberry Pi, this class may be an asset.
If you are a programmer already, are familiar with Linux OS, and have a basic understanding of how a Raspberry Pi works, this class may be a little boring for you.
This class will cover the following:
Intro to setting up a Raspberry Pi.
Linux commands (Debian)
Understand the difference between Linux, Windows, and MacOS
Where Linux comes from (repositories)
Setting up a Web Server
Controlling GPIOs from the web page
If you want to purchase an SDCARD to save your work you can either purchase the one that is with the equipment for $10, or you can bring your own. ***
*** SDCARDS are not all the same. Most Sandisk cards will work as long as they are Class10. I have had good luck out of the Amazon MicroSD XC Series cards that are A2 rated.
DO NOT BUY the Onn basic Walmart Card. It will fail.
Age 10+, under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.
