Raspberry Pi 101

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit card sized, single board Linux computer. If you have outgrown your Arduino this is a great, cost effective, next step. A Raspberry Pi with Ethernet, Wifi adapter, 2GB storage, enclosure and power supply is less than the cost of an Arduino Uno and Ethernet Shield!

With this class, you will receive:

Raspberry Pi board B rev 2
8GB SD card
Power supply
Ethernet cable
(Optional for $15 extra: WiFi 802.11n adapter)

This class covers:

Loading an OS onto your SD card
(this may be a handout due to time constraints)
Raspberry Pi first boot with monitor, keyboard and mouse
Basic network configuration via command line
SSH via Putty
Raspberry Pi first boot without monitor, keyboard and mouse
Basic file system structure, permissions, and basic commands
Updating and installing new software on your Raspberry Pi
Downloading files and software from the web to your Raspberry Pi
Other things you can do remotely with your Raspberry Pi
(surf the web, Tweet, read email, chat, turn things on/off..)
