Raspberry Pi
What Will You Learn in the Electronics + Coding Standard Course?
This course is designed to start at the very beginning to systematically teach you to work with electronic components, use a Raspberry Pi, and write Python code. We then move on to teach you to work with a number of sensors as well as intermediate-level Python code commands.
What Will You Learn in the Raspberry Pi + Python Complete Course?
This course is designed to start at the very beginning to systematically teach you to work with electronic components, use a Raspberry Pi, and write Python code. We then move on to teach you to work with increasingly complex electronic components as well as both intermediate and advanced-level Python code commands.
Building a Level Shifting Circuit
The Raspberry Pi does not have the capability to input or output analog signals using its GPIO pins so in Lesson B-13 we teach you to build a level shifting circuit. The 74LVC245 integrated circuit is an 8-channel level shifter, included in the Level B kit, that is capable of level shifting 8 signals at once.
What is a Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a small, single-board computer developed in the United Kingdom for the purpose of providing an affordable computer so people all over the world could learn to create computer programs. The Raspberry Pi is a great option for home based electronics and robotics projects.
Raspberry Pi 3B vs. Raspberry Pi 4
Since the 4th level of our program involves building a fully mobile robot, we include a Raspberry Pi 3b in the kit. While the v4 is a newer version, its power and cooling requirements are significant making it quite difficult to use with a battery pack. A robot is a lot less fun if you have to plug it in to run it!
