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.

Renaming and copying/moving the file/folder into a new directory


A common activity on any filesystem is the practice of copying and moving files, and even directories, from one place to another. You might do it to make a backup copy of something, or you might decide that the contents should live in a more appropriate location. This recipe will explore how to manipulate files in the Raspbian system.

Getting ready

If you are still in your terminal from the last recipe, we are going to use the same files from the previous recipe. We should have the ownership back to pi:pi; if not, run the following:


sudo chown pi:pi /home/pi/share/*.txt

Note

If you are in a directory and want to operate on a file, you can reference just the file or use "./" to indicate the current directory. In this recipe, we will refer to the full path that we want to operate on. If you are already in the /home/pi directory (also designated by "~/" you can alternatively run this command without the path, as in: sudo chown...
