Description
Book SynopsisUpdated for the recent Raspberry Pi boards, including the Raspberry Pi 4, this new edition offers an all new digital logic circuits project, explaining the theory behind how digital electronics work while creating a new project for measuring temperature.
Raspberry Pi is everywhere, it''s inexpensive, and it''s a wonderful tool for teaching about electronics and programming. This book demonstrates how to make a variety of cool projects using the Pi with programming languages like Scratch and Python, with no experience necessary. You''ll see how the Pi works, how to work with Raspbian Linux on the Pi, and how to design and create electronic circuits.
You''ll create projects like an arcade game, disco lights, and infrared transmitter, and an LCD display. You''ll also learn how to control Minecraft''s Steve with a joystick and how to build a Minecraft house with a Pi, and even how to control a LEGO train with a Pi. And, you''ll build your own robot, including how to solde
