Description

The course is designed for beginners who wish to work with Raspberry Pi. It doesn’t matter if you already know Python Programming. We will begin our journey with Raspberry Pi right from the basics of setting up a Raspberry Pi for first-time boot. Later on, we will make some Raspberry Pi Projects. The concept learned in the early part of the course will help us take projects to the next level.

The Biggest objective of this course is to help you quickly get started with Raspberry Pi3/4. This course will not only help you learn Raspberry Pi Programming but also help you understand the underlying concepts of operating systems. We will build some cool projects which will motivate you to learn the concept of electronics

This course is a step-by-step guide to setting up Raspberry Pi for Programming. The course starts with very basics and ends up making internet-connected applications. We will set up every circuit from scratch and write python programs for it. We will spend enough time, in the beginning to get the basics right. This will save time in the long run and make you feel confident working with Raspberry Pi and Python.

Later on, we will be building some mini projects using LED, Switches, DHT11 Sensors (Temperature/Humidity/Light/Distance), Streaming Live Data to the IoT Cloud (Internet of Things), and many more. These Projects will be small yet very powerful which enable you to get hands-on experience with different technologies related to embedded software and hardware development.
