ABOUT THE PI

WHAT IS THE RASPBERRY PI

• “the $35 dollar computer”

• Well, here is what you also need:

• $7 Power supply

• $12 SD card

• $10 Wifi dongle

• And might also opt for:

• $15 USB SD card reader

• $15 USB Ethernet adapter

• Consider buying 2 of everything!

WHY THE NAME RASPBERRY PI?

• From the UK aimed at generating

excitement in computing with kids

• Raspberry comes from a tradition of fruit

named companies:

• Tangerine Computing Systems, Apricot

Computers, Acorn, BlackBerry, Cherry

Corp, Papaya Studios, Apple

Computer,…

• PI was originally planned to have a built-in

interpreter for python language

• Acronym for Python Interpreter

RASPBERRY PI AND SENSORS

• Unlike Arduino and other microcontrollers, Pi runs

at 3.3v

• Sensors are generally categorized as either

analog or digital

• Pi only supports digital sensors, but analog to

digital (”A to C”, or ADC) hardware is available

• Two values for a pin:

• High == 3.3v (>2v)

• Low == 0v

RASPBERRY PI – THINGS TO CONSIDER

• Lots of prior work with Pi, Arduino, Spark/Particle

Core/Photon, BeagleBone, Edison, PICAXE, …

• Consider voltage level of board

• Consider if sensors are reading analog or

digital data

• We are just getting started with Windows 10 on

the Pi

• Be patient and be willing to reflash SD

• Give back to the community, publish your

findings

• There are some GPIO pin differences…

ABOUT WINDOWS 10

WINDOWS 10 IOT CORE

• Version of Windows 10 that is optimized for

smaller devices

• With or without a display

• Runs on the Raspberry Pi 2, Arrow DragonBoard

410c & MinnowBoard MAX

• Utilizes Universal Windows Platform (UWP) API

for building solutions

A BIT ABOUT IOT

You have

things that

produce data.

Breaking down IoT…

We prepare your devices.

Breaking down IoT…

That data

needs a place

to live…

We connect it to the cloud

and manage the data.

Breaking down IoT…

so you (or a machine)

can make smarter

decisions.

We uncover actionable

insights

COMMON IOT SCENARIOS

Connect and learn

about things

Monitor things that

are connected

Search for things

Manage things

Play with things

It’s very easy! Don’t let

the looks of it scare you

away. Block out a half

day and see what you can

put together.
