Overview of this book
<p>The Raspberry Pi is a small, low-cost, and yet very powerful development platform. It is used to interact with attached electronics by the use of its GPIO pins for multiple use cases, mainly home automation and robotics.<br />This course will get you started with The Raspberry Pi 3 and show you how to utilize its GPIO along with Python. You will start by installing and setting up the necessary hardware to create a seamless development platform. You will then build applications for The Raspberry Pi and run your program on it by building a touchscreen setup. Next, using the Raspberry Pi you will learn by building your own projects such as a Google assistant, a network ad blocker, and a security camera. Further, you will explore the new Raspberry Pi Zero W, which has an added wireless LAN and Bluetooth connectivity by building mini projects such as a Pi-Fi router, USB stick, and time-lapse camera.<br />By the end of the course, you will be well equipped to build your own real-world projects on the Raspberry Pi.<br />All the code and supporting files for this course are available from GitHub at: <a href="https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-Raspberry-Pi" target="_blank">https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-Raspberry-Pi</a></p>
