Getting Started with an Old Raspberry Pi #1 : Its a Model B (not a B+)

dubbie

As I am thinking of taking part in the Picasso Design Challenge that uses a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and not knowing very much about any Raspberry Pi I thought I would borrow one and see what I could do. I obtained an old one from my son which I am now attempting to get going.

 

I have searched some of the Element14 older material and managed to find out that I have a Raspberry Pi Model B (but not a B+). But so far I have not been able to find out how to connect it up so that I can at least turn it on and see what happens.  I think I need an HDMI cable but what else? Can anyone point me in the right direction for this very old Pi which is way past its Best Before Date?

    Jon,

     

    These are really useful links, just the sort of thing I was looking but for some reason couldn't find. I guess you need the right keywords when searching. The pinout diagram is really useful, something about the Pi I can actually understand, plus th second link to using Python and Pi was going to be my first step once I can actually talk to the Pi. Ralph Yamamoto gave me a good link for using Ethernet to connect to the Pi so if that works I'll be on my way.
