Now that we have our computer on the network, we want to make sure other computers are able to contact it. The ping
command is one of the first tests to tell whether your computer can be contacted. The command sends a small test packet of data to another computer's IP address or hostname and waits to hear a response. If it does, it tells you how long it took for the response to come back. If it doesn't, it tells you it is not receiving a response.
Raspberry Pi Zero Cookbook
Raspberry Pi Zero Cookbook
Overview of this book
The Raspberry Pi Zero, one of the most inexpensive, fully-functional computers available, is a powerful and revolutionary product developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Raspberry Pi Zero opens up a new world for the makers out there. This book will give you expertise with the Raspberry Pi Zero, providing all the necessary recipes that will get you up and running.
In this book, you will learn how to prepare your own circuits rather than buying the expensive add–ons available in the market. We start by showing you how to set up and manage the Pi Zero and then move on to configuring the hardware, running it with Linux, and programming it with Python scripts. Later, we integrate the Raspberry Pi Zero with sensors, motors, and other hardware. You will also get hands-on with interesting projects in media centers, IoT, and more.
