Coffee & Pi - Fall into Pi
- 1. Coffee & Pi:Fall into Pi meetup.com/Coffee-and-Pi Thank you CandiDate Philly for hosting the meetup!!! We hope to have another meetup in December!
- 2. Welcome to Coffee& Pi Is this anyone’s first Coffee & Pi meetup? Has anyone never touched or seen a Raspberry Pi? Has anyone built a project or idea with a Raspberry Pi? Which environment do you normally work in, Windows or OS X? Is anyone from the suburbs or outside Center City?
- 3. Meetup Rules This isa beginner friendly meetup. All skill levels are welcome. Remember we were all beginners at one time at something. If you have a question, please ask. Someone else might have the same one. I do not know everything. Feel free to share your knowledge with the group. We practice. We share. We learn. We share some more. Don’t just tell people... Show them. And let them see you do it! Anything is possible!

- 9. What is RaspberryPi? Series of small, single-board computers from the UK by Eben Upton/Raspberry Pi Foundation Great for Educational Programming, Robotics, Home Automation, Commercial Projects Comes in 2 form factors, Pi and Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi is $35, Pi Zero starts at $5
- 10. (Brief) History ofRaspberry Pi Hardware Raspberry Pi 1 Model B - February 2012 - $35 Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ - 2014 - $25 Raspberry Pi 2 - February 2015 - $35 Raspberry Pi Zero - November 2015 - $5 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B - February 2016 (added Bluetooth and Wifi) - $35 Raspberry Pi Zero W - February 2017 (added Bluetooth and Wifi) - $10 Raspberry Pi 3 Model 3B+ - March 2018 (upgraded cpu, networking) - $35 Raspberry Pi Zero WH (pre-soldered headers) - January 2018 - $15 Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi
- 11. Brad Recommends... Start witha Pi 3 B+ (latest Pi 3 model) - can use existing USB and HDMI devices! If you want Pi Zero, consider pre-soldered headers or not! Most Pi Zero projects will require some soldering, but not all. Read descriptions. Will also need adapter kit, unless they are included with a starter kit. Pi or Pi Zero, still recommend getting a starter kit if this is your first Pi! - $60-70 Will also need an SD or micro SD card reader/writer with a PC or Mac I shop at PiShop.us, Adafruit, MicroCenter, Amazon

- 14. Operating System: ThirdParty Notes Ubuntu Mate - Most like Ubuntu Server, adapted for ARM processors Ubuntu Snappy Core - Uses “snappy” package management instead of apt-get Windows 10 IoT Core - No desktop, requires Windows PC and Dashboard app Lots of other pre-built OS images such as HASSbian, RetroPie, Kali, etc If you can download an image zip/gz, you can load it onto the micro SD card!
- 15. Etcher.io Load an OSimage onto a micro SD card, works on Mac, Windows, Linux Do not need to format micro SD card first, just run Etcher and flash card!
