My Very First Ever Python Programme and on a Raspberry Pi

dubbie

I wished to join the Raspberry Pi day activity so I decided that I would combine this with writing my very first own Python programme as well. I recently did an online Python course which had some directed programmes in but I wanted to make up my own unassisted. As I am shortly going out for lunch this had to be very short so I decided on

 

print("Hello and Happy Pi Day")

 

Next I needed my Raspberry Pi which is still integrated into my HoloPiBot (HoloPiBot #10 : It Actually Works - It Really Does! ) so I just plugged in cables, keyboards, mouse and eventually power supply  (when I found it!) as I vaguely remembered how to do. Turned it on and amazingly it still all worked. I must have learned something after all. There is a bit of video of this, but the battery on my camera ran out - it doesn't seem to be charging so I might need a new camera - and this is all I captured.

 

 

Following this I needed to start Python. I had no idea whether my Pi had Python so I decided to Google it, using my Pi, of course. Seems that it does have Python so I just went to the command line, typed in Python, then the programme above and it worked! If I have time over this weekend I might now try flashing an LED on and off - no promises though.

 

The Power of computing.
