The Raspberry Pi is a real computer that fits in the palm of your hand. Unlike a Windows or Mac computer, a Raspberry Pi requires users to have a deeper understanding of how it works to get the results they want. This book helps you understand the right connections and software to drive your Raspberry Pi into opening the worlds of programming, electronic experiments, system control, digital imaging, and the Internet of Things to you. The Raspberry Pi can do almost anything a bigger computer can do - if you're ready for the challenge.
Discover how to expand your Pi's storage for bigger programs, use its onboard connections to interface with cameras and control devices, printers and scanners, share information with Windows and Apple computers and mobile devices, and use it away from AC power. You'll be able to turn any HDTV into a media player; stream and share files from desktop and mobile devices; use your Pi for image capture via camera or scanner; and more! <
