Please help me !! What would be a beginning easy project to start with?

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I purchased a Raspberry Pi last year and never did anything with it? I need some help and a bit of guidance from fellow Raspberry Pi members.  I made the mistake of buying the Linux version.  I should have bought the Windows version. Anyway, I am asking fellow Rapberry Pi members for some help and assistance. Can someone suggest what a good easy first project I should start working on?

 

Thank you.

    But Raspberry Pi only runs Linux, and other Linux Based OS Like Raspbian etc. and cannot support Windows..

    I think you should try The Raspberry Pi Internet Radio or The Media Center...

    I'd suggest looking at projects that use the GPIO pins to interface to the external world.

    Drew's candles is a simple project that appears well written and easy to follow.

    Once you've mastered some of these, the whole thing won't seem so daunting.

    There are quite a few books available for download, that cover a wide range of projects (and costs).

    I've heard that The Magpi magazine is a good starting place for ideas: http://www.themagpi.com/
