INTRODUCTION TO RASPBERRY PI
What is Raspberry Pi?
● A series of credit card–sized single-board computers developed in
England, United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
● Intent to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools and
developing countries.
● The Foundation provides Debian and Arch Linux ARM distributions for
download, and promotes Python as the main programming language.
● The system on a chip (SoC) used in the 1st generation Raspberry Pi is
somewhat equivalent to the chip used in older smartphones (such as
iPhone, 3G, 3GS).
● As of 29 Feb 2016, more 8 million Raspberry Pis have been sold including
three million units of Raspberry Pi 2.

INTRODUCTION TO RASPBERRY PI
What can you do with Raspberry Pi?
● A general purpose computer.
● Media center.
● Learn to program.
● Learn electronics.
● Take photos!
● Robotics.
● Network storage.
● Retro games console.
● Weather station.
● etc...

INTRODUCTION TO RASPBERRY PI
Raspberry Pi vs Arduino: What is the difference between the two?
● An Arduino is a microcontroller motherboard. A microcontroller is a simple
computer that can run one program at a time, over and over again. It is
very easy to use.
● A Raspberry Pi is a general-purpose computer, usually with a Linux
operating system, and the ability to run multiple programs. It is more
complicated to use than an Arduino.
[Link]
INTRODUCTION TO RASPBERRY PI
Raspberry Pi vs Arduino: What would I use each for?
● Arduino is best used for simple repetitive tasks: opening and closing a
garage door, reading the outside temperature and reporting it to Twitter,
driving a simple robot.
● Raspberry Pi is best used when you need a full-fledged computer: driving
a more complicated robot, performing multiple tasks, doing intense
calculations.
[Link]
INTRODUCTION TO RASPBERRY PI
Raspberry Pi vs Arduino: A simple rule of thumb to decide?
● Think about what you want your project to do. If you can describe it with
less than two ‘and’s, get an Arduino. If you need more than two ‘and’s, get
a Raspberry Pi.
● “I want to monitor my plants and have them Tweet me when they need
water.” That can best be done by an Arduino.
● “I want to monitor my plants and have them Tweet me when they need
water and check the National Weather Service and, if the forecast is for
fair weather, turn on the irrigation system and if the forecast is for rain, do
nothing.” That would best be handled by a Raspberry Pi.

you have one, or an SD adapter in a USB port. Note the drive letter
assigned to the SD card. You can see the drive letter in the left hand
column of Windows Explorer, for example D:

SSH REMOTE USING USB OTG PORT
1. Once Raspbian is flashed, open up the boot partition (in Windows Explorer,
Finder etc) and add to the bottom of the [Link] file dtoverlay=dwc2
on a new line, then save the file.
[Link]
SSH REMOTE USING USB OTG PORT
2. If using a recent release of Jessie (Dec 2016 onwards), then create a new
file simply called ssh in the SD card as well. By default SSH is now
disabled so this is required to enable it. Remember – Make sure your file
doesn’t have an extension (like .txt etc)!
[Link]
SSH REMOTE USING USB OTG PORT
3. Finally, open up the [Link]. Be careful with this file, it is very picky
with its formatting! Each parameter is seperated by a single space (it does
not use newlines). Insert modules-load=dwc2,g_ether after rootwait.
[Link]
SSH REMOTE USING USB OTG PORT
4. That’s it, eject the SD card from your computer. Put it in your Raspberry Pi
Zero (or W), make sure you have installed Bonjour, iTunes or Quicktime)
and connect it via USB OTG to your computer. It will take up to 90s to boot
up (shorter on subsequent boots). It should then appear as a USB Ethernet
device.

Auto Run Program
In order to have a command or program run when the Pi boots, you can add
commands to the [Link] file. This is especially useful if you want to be able
to plug your Pi in to power headless, and have it run a program without
configuration or a manual start.
EDITING [Link]
On your Pi, edit the file /etc/[Link] using the LXTerminal. You must edit
with root, for example:
sudo nano /etc/[Link]
Add commands below the comment, BUT leave the line exit 0 at the end,
then save the file and exit.
[Link]
Auto Run Program
WARNING
If your command runs continuously (perhaps runs an infinite loop) or is likely
not to exit, you must be sure to fork the process by adding an ampersand to
the end of the command, like so:
sudo python /home/pi/[Link] &
Otherwise, the script will not end and the Pi will not boot. The ampersand
allows the command to run in a separate process and continue booting with
the process running.
Also, be sure to reference absolute filenames rather than relative to your home
folder; for example, /home/pi/[Link] rather than [Link].
[Link]
Auto Run Program
After editing, press CTRL+X, then press Y followed by Enter to overwrite.
[Link]
Auto Run Program
Reboot your Pi Zero, write sudo reboot followed by Enter.
