The Official Raspberry Pi Handbook is fully updated for Raspberry Pi in 2024. Packed with all the information beginners need to use their new Raspberry Pi computer. And the best projects from the year for long-term Raspberry Pi enthusiasts.

One of the main reasons for the Raspberry Pi's continued popularity is its 40-pin GPIO header, which enables users to connect electronic components and control them with a program. While other languages may be used, the code for physical computing projects is usually written in Python, something that's become a whole lot easier with the recent introduction of the GPIO Zero library. Before its arrival, connecting electronics required numerous lines of code just to get everything set up. GPIO Zero does all this boilerplate code for you, so you can focus on controlling the physical devices. As well as resulting in far fewer lines of code, it makes it a lot easier for newcomers to understand.Learn from simple electronics projects:Program LED lightsAdd a push button to your projectBuild a motion sensing alarmCreate your own distance rangefinderMake a laser-powered tripwireBuild a Raspberry Pi robotand much moreUsing the GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi opens up a whole new world of possibilities. While it might seem daunting at first glance, with our help you'll be creating electronic circuits and controlling them with the Python programming language within minutes. Grab your breadboard and start taking control of the real world with your Raspberry Pi today!Updated for the latest Raspberry Pi devices and hardware, this book has everything you need to get started.

The Raspberry Pi 5 is the perfect computer to experiment with the world of neural networks, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Coupled with the Raspberry Pi AI Kit, you can integrate local, high-performance, power-efficient inferencing into your projects. WIth the AI Kit, you can build complex AI vision applications, running in real time, with low latency and low power requirements. This book shows you how to get up and running with pretrained models or models you train yourself. You'll learn how to work with models that can:Identify a variety of objects and highlight them for youEstimate the pose of a personal, animal, or robotDiscern facial landmarks such as eyes, nose, and mouthClassify things based on their appearanceWhen you combine Raspberry Pi with artificial intelligence, it gives you the power to create all sorts of things: robots that can interact intelligently with their surroundings, games that use the physical world as a playing field, and home automation systems that adjust to the environment in real time. You're not limited by the pretrained models; with the Hailo Dataflow Compiler (DFC), you can fine-tune the kit for a variety of use cases. With this guide, you'll be up and running with your own Raspberry Pi-powered applications in no time!

Space exploration is fascinating and inspiring for children and adults alike. With the tiny Raspberry Pi computer helping to change the world little-by-little, it was only a matter of time before it went to space to help out there as well.

KiCad is an amazing piece of free and open-source software that allows anyone, with some time and effort, to make high-quality PCB designs. Couple this amazing software with numerous PCB fabrication companies and even PCBA services (companies that will make and assemble your PCB designs) and there's never been a better time to get into this aspect of making. This book provides a gentle introduction to PCB design using the RP2040 microcontroller chip (the same chip that's at the heart of the Raspberry Pi Pico). You'll learn how to create a schematic for a microcontroller board using the RP2040, from assigning schematic symbols to creating a footprint for individual components. You'll quickly move on to laying out the PCB design and preparing it for manufacture! That's right--after your board is designed, this book will show you how to send it off to be manufactured and assembled. You'll find out about the various materials (or substrates) you can choose for your board, and learn how to pick the right manufacturer. Once you have your board in hand, you'll also learn what you can do (and make!) with it, and there will be plenty of ideas for expansions, such as motor drivers.

This book tells the story of the birth of the computing industry via the origins of 25 influential computers built between 1939 and 1973. Starting with a short, sharp history of how we got to where we were on the eve of the second world war, this book illuminates humanity's desire for calculation aids throughout history, and how that led to the ready reckoner, Napier's bones, Pascal's calculator, the difference engine, the analytical engine, the comptometer and Herman Hollerieth's electronic tabulating machine. This book is a world tour through the modern history of computing, and it begins in 1939 with the first electronic digital computer, the Atanasoff-Berry computer (ABC). The story of computing in World War II takes us through Germany, UK, and the US, and right after that, you'll follow the rapid growth of computing power in the post-war years. The years of "big iron" in the US, UK, and the Soviet Union take us through the next couple of decades, before we enter the minicomputer era with DEC and Wang systems, and come right up to the the crucial link between the minicomputer era of the late 1960s and 1970s and the personal computer era of the 1980s: the Xerox Alto.
