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.

Preface

Programming over a virtual Ethernet modem on USB OTG


This is my favorite way to connect to the Raspberry Pi Zero. Not only can you operate it with a single USB cable, but you can get it attached to the network and be able to communicate with other machines and the Internet.

Getting ready

The same as the last recipe, if you have the USB OTG functions installed and a regular-to-micro USB cable, you are ready to go.

How to do it...

Just like the last recipe, be careful with the edits to cmdline.txt. You can make this change from the serial connection you made before, reboot, and go!

  1. The unedited version of the file should look something like this:

            pi@rpz14101:~$ sudo cat /boot/cmdline.txt
            dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 
            console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 
            elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait
    

    If you're coming from the previous recipe, it will look like this:

            pi@rpz14101:~$ sudo cat /boot/cmdline.txt
       ...
