8. To get started with…
Essential Requirements:
Raspberry Pi board
Prepared Operating System SD Card(available as NOOBS)
USB keyboard
Display (with HDMI/ DVI input)
5 V power source via Micro USB or GPIO header
Cables
Optional:
USB mouse
Internet connectivity

9. Installation Procedure
Initially insert the preloaded SD card into the slot
Connect the display device(TV/PC) with suitable
cables(HTMI/HVI)
Plug in the USB micro power port
Now the raspberry pi will get booted
For the first time the OS need to be configured by the
user
Optional: plug in Ethernet port and USB mouse if
required

10. Raspbian OS

11. Programming Tools
Scratch
Python
Scratch Programming:
It is a visual tool to assist kids in learning computer
It is a kind of drag and drop interface

12. Scratch Programming Window

13. Example Program
Click on the Scratch cat sprite.
Now click on the blocks palette and select Control.
Then drag a When green flag clicked block and place it on the
scripts area in the middle of the screen.
Add a blue Move 10 steps block from the Motion blocks palette
and connect it to the When green flag clicked block.
Now click the green flag icon in the top right hand side of the
screen and see the cat move!

14. Python Programming:
Simple scripting tool with clean syntax
It is a powerful programming language
The easiest introduction to Python is through IDLE.
Double click the IDLE icon on the Desktop (or IDLE3 for
Python 3)

15. Python Window

16. Example Program
 >>>3+5
8
 Print(“good eve”)
 >>>Fruit=apple
“An”+Fruit
An apple

17. Advantages
