How to Solder: Through-
Hole Soldering
This tutorial covers everything you
need to know about through-hole
soldering.
Getting Started with the
Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless
Learn how to setup, configure and
use the smallest Raspberry Pi yet,
the Raspberry Pi Zero - Wireless.
Prepare the MicroSD Card
To prepare the microSD card, we need to:
• Download the latest Raspberry Pi Raspbian Jessie image.
• Create an microSD card that contains this boot image.
• Edit the "config.txt" file on the microSD card to enable the serial
debug console.
• Create a "wpa_supplicant.conf" file on the SD card to enable WiFi.
Let's walk through these steps in more detail!
Download the Latest Raspbian Jessie Image
You can find the image on the Raspberry Pi Foundation Website. It's a
fairly large download so go get a snack or play a game or something.
Note: Make sure that you don't download "RASPBIAN XYZ LITE", as
the Lite installation is lacking several utilities and programs we'll need
to get things moving. Note that XYZ is a placeholder for the release
name of the distribution; at the time of this writing, that name is
"Stretch".
Burn the Image to an MicroSD Card
To write the image to the card, there exists an excellent utility for
Mac/Linux/Windows called Etcher. Simply download and install it to your
computer. Then select the image you downloaded earlier, the drive you
want to install to (Etcher won't let you install to anything but a removable
drive, and if only one drive is available, it will select it automatically!), and
click "Flash!"
Hobby Servo Tutorial
Servos are motors that allow you to
accurately control the rotation of the
output shaft, opening up all kinds of
possibilities for robotics and other
projects.
