Raspberry Pi, 2nd Edition--New from Pragmatic Bookshelf
A Quick-Start Guide

Request Review copy

Raleigh, NC--The Raspberry Pi is one of the most successful open source hardware projects ever. For
less than $40, you get a full-blown PC, a multimedia center, and a web server--and "Raspberry Pi,"
second edition, gives you everything you need to get started. You'll learn the basics, progress to
controlling the Pi, and then build your own electronics projects. This new edition is revised and
updated with two new chapters on adding digital and analog sensors, and creating videos and a
burglar alarm with the Pi camera.

Get your Raspberry Pi up and running and doing cool stuff. You'll start with the basics: adding
hardware, installing and configuring Debian Linux, and customizing the Pi's firmware to get the
most out of your hardware.

Then the fun begins. You'll connect the Pi to your home network, surf the web, and tweet messages.
You'll learn how to get the most out of Midori, the Pi's standard browser, and control the desktops
of other PCs with the Pi. Then you'll explore the Pi's versatility with a series of home projects.
Turn it into a web server in your home network; convert the Pi into a powerful multimedia center so
you can watch high-definition video and listen to your favorite music; and play classic video
games.

Then you'll use the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi to build your own electronics projects, such as
an "out of memory" alarm. You'll learn how to use digital and analog sensors with the Pi, even
though the Pi doesn't have analog input ports! Finally, you'll set up the Pi camera, create your
own time-lapse videos, and build an automatic e-mailing burglar alarm. Power to the Pi!

Available for e-readers in epub, mobi, and PDF formats direct from the publisher and in paperback
from fine bookstores worldwide.

What You Need

You need a Raspberry Pi and several things that you probably already have at home, such as a
keyboard, a mouse, a monitor/TV set, and an SD card. To build the electronic projects you need a
few cheap parts and the Pi camera.
