Linux + Electronics: A Raspberry Pi Course

In this final class, we took a look into the GPIO library on Python, we did 2 scripts, one with a led and with a servo motor. We saw what I2C is and did a program with an I2C LCD.

Presentation links:

1. How Servo Motors Work
2. Servo Conection
3. How does I2C work
4. LCD 16x2 example [Spanish]
5. Drive LCD 16x2
6. I2C LCD example library
   

In this class, we took a dive into how bash scripts are done. We taught the basic structure, how to use them with crontab and finally we saw a python script example using an LED.

Presentation links:

1. Bash scripting cheatsheet
2. Cron cheatsheet
3. Crontab guru
4. RPi GPIO Library by Sparkfun
5. Blink LED example

In this class, we looked into various ways to connect to the Raspberry Pi (SSH and VNC), some basic, medium, and advanced commands for the Linux command line. Also, we touched on a practical example of "everything is a file", saw the Filesystem Hierarchy of Linux and practiced with permissions, and a bonus bash script example.

Presentation links:

1. IP Adress by RPi Foundation
2. Linux Permissions

In this class, we talked about what a Raspberry Pi is, what is Linux, electronics, the Raspbian OS, and how to flash it and install it. 

Presentation links:

1. GPIO by RPi Foundation
2. Smallest Arcade
3. OS Images and Raspberry Pi Imager
4. Wifi Configuration by RPi Foundation

A couple of people have been having issues flashing the card, something i consider totally normal, even now I can suffer that process myself.

So here are 3 resources that can help:
