Overview of this book

Want to put your Raspberry Pi through its paces right out of the box? This tutorial guide is designed to get you learning all the tricks of the Raspberry Pi through building complete, hands-on hardware projects. Speed through the basics and then dive right in to development! Discover that you can do almost anything with your Raspberry Pi with a taste of almost everything. Get started with Pi Gaming as you learn how to set up Minecraft, and then program your own game with the help of Pygame. Turn the Pi into your own home security system with complete guidance on setting up a webcam spy camera and OpenCV computer vision for image recognition capabilities. Get to grips with GPIO programming to make a Pi-based glowing LED system, build a complete functioning motion tracker, and more. Finally, get ready to tackle projects that push your Pi to its limits. Construct a complete Internet of Things home automation system with the Raspberry Pi to control your house via Twitter; turn your Pi into a super-computer through linking multiple boards into a cluster and then add in advanced network capabilities for super speedy processing!

Summary


This chapter was unique in the sense that we learned how to execute software not on a single Raspberry Pi but on multiple ones. We learned the advantages of using parallel computation and learned how to build our own network of clustered Raspberry Pi devices. We also learned how to install the libraries required for parallel computations so that we can run our own software in the cluster. We learned how to configure the Raspberry Pis in our network to communicate with each other and make the communication hassle-free. Once we set up a system, we tested it to to measure the response in the form of latency.

Finally, we learned about the concept of N-body simulation and configured an open source program to simulate it. W also saw how increasing the number of bodies in the simulation could affect the speed of the program's execution.

In the next chapter, we will expand upon this knowledge about clusters and learn about advanced networking concepts, such as DNS and DHCP. We will learn how...
