A Five days Raspberry Pi Training Programme for students of different schools of Kasaragod Dist. is going on....at GHSS Mangalpady...which enables the participants to use the credit card size computer awarded to them by the Honourable Education minister for the selected students from each school through Aptitude Test and also enable the participant to do the python programming.
Raspberry Pi
The tiny and super cool mini PC
The
raspberry pi is an extremely sleek and tiny computer board. It is
about the size of a normal credit card, and runs on a linux based
operating system called the raspbian. This board
can be thought of
as a miniaturized version of the motherboard in your CPU. It might
not
offer the same powerful processing capabilities as a normal PC,
but it gets the job done.
The
raspberry pi can be manipulated to turn ON/OFF relays, LEDs, motors,
etc using its
GPIO pins and by using python programming (one of the
easiest programming languages).
Just like how you need to hook up
your CPU to a monitor, keyboard, mouse and LAN. The raspberry pi also
offers USB ports for hooking up a keyboard and mouse, an HDMI (High
efinition Multimedia Interface) port to connect a monitor/TV and an
ethernet port to hook your LAN cable, to gain internet access. And
the raspberry pi is powered using a micro
USB port on it (5v, 1A),
you can use your normal smartphone charger to connect and power
it.
