Raspberry Pi Essentials And Extras

Dig a little deeper into the capabilities of this powerful little credit-card sized computer

What you'll learn
Install a virtual desktop on the Raspberry Pi
Install and use the Raspberry Pi camera board
Interface with UART devices using the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins
Interface with I2C devices using the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins
Install and run Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi
Use the Raspberry Pi as a webserver
Use the Raspberry Pi as an NFS (Network File Server)
Learn how to use the Pi's watchdog timer
Requirements
A familiarity with Linux and the Pi is helpful, but not necessary.
Description
It may have initially been designed as a teaching tool, but since its introduction, the Raspberry Pi has become an integral part of the hobbyist/maker culture around the world. Projects range from soil moisture detectors to dashboard cameras to Commodore 64 emulators. A Pi has even been sent up to the International Space Station! Learn what makes your Raspberry Pi tick!But one thing that seems to be missing in the sea of projects and books available is an easy-to-understand introduction to some of the communication protocols that the Pi sometimes uses, and how those protocols work. In addition, there are some basic projects that often get missed when someone picks up a Pi and starts tinkering. I designed this course explicitly to fill some of those gaps in general Pi-knowledge.Contents of the course:In this course, you'll learn:How to install the optional Pi camera boardWhat the UART protocol isHow to interface with a GPS module using I2CHow to turn your Pi into a fully-functioning web serverUsing the Pi as an NFS serverPutting Windows 10 on your Raspberry Piand much more!If you've been interested in picking up a Raspberry Pi but are unsure where to start, or if you've already got one and would like to 'peek under the hood' and learn about some of the useful protocols it can use, then this course is for you! There are code samples included, as well as all lecture notes. I designed the course for beginners to the Pi, but intermediate Pi aficionados will likely learn something as well from the video lectures and code samples.When you're done with this course, you'll have a better understanding of just what makes that little Raspberry Pi do what it does so well!

Who this course is for:
This course is meant for beginning to intermediate Raspberry Pi users who would like to dig a little deeper into the Pi's capabilities.,This course is probably not for advanced users.
