Ultimate Guide to Raspberry Pi - Tips, Tricks, and Hacks

This step-by-step course on Raspberry Pi will help you dive into what Raspberry Pi is and learn the components you need in order to set everything up. You will also understand the configuration tips for the Raspberry Pi Operating System.

This course takes you through how to easily flash an SD card with any OS for the Pi and multiple methods of connecting remotely to your Raspberry Pi will be covered to show how you can run it in “headless mode” without a monitor. Furthermore, you will dive into the terminal and Linux commands to show how you can navigate your system, work with files, and perform network and system commands and keyboard shortcuts. You will also work with GPIO pins and show how you can control LEDs, determine if a button is pressed, work with a PIR sensor, and how to make a PIR sensor alarm circuit.

You will learn to work with cameras and images and how to set up a USB webcam and install software to create a live streaming camera feed. Learn to use the Raspberry Pi Camera module and how to interact with it programmatically to take photos and videos and create special effects.

By the end of the course, you will create a working Amazon Echo Clone with the Alexa Voice Service.
