Course Description

The Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable single-board computer that you will use to design and develop fun and practical IoT devices while learning programming and computer hardware. The Raspberry Pi uses a variety of input/output devices based on protocols such as HDMI, USB, and Ethernet to communicate with the outside world. In this class you will learn how to use these protocols with other external devices (sensors, motors, GPS, orientation, LCD screens etc.) to get your IoT device to interact with the real world. Most physical devices use analog signals; however computer hardware is digital.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the participant will be able to:

How to set up the Raspberry Pi environment, get a Linux operating system running, and write and execute some basic Python code on the Raspberry Pi.
How to use Python-based IDE (integrated development environments) for the Raspberry Pi and how to trace and debug Python code on the device
How these signals are converted back-and-forth and how this must be considered as you program your device
Know the basic design of a sensor-actuator system works
Learn how to build more sophisticated hardware systems using Raspberry Pi expansion boards to create fun and exciting IoT devices
