After the giddiness settles down, you may want to know what to do next. I have a suggestion which may help: try an online course to cover the basics and go more into it. Offered by the very folks who stand behind the Pi 3, see <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/physical-computing-raspberry-pi-python" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank" title="https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/physical-computing-raspberry-pi-python">https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/physical-computing-raspberry-pi-python</a> . They will start slow, but willpick up steam quickly to cover more in depth. As to the 7 inch screen, set aside for the moment. Connect your Pi 3 without and cover the normal. Later when you add the touchscreen, you will know why. As to projects, explore Google because he is your friend in this learning experience. Again, welcome aboard the express train to new adventures awaiting you. Just beware, this hobby can be addictive if not down right fun.</p><p>Clem </p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=2586&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
