Re: [AFMUG] Biggest raspberry pi 3 kit

Thanks Forest. Hybrid kits with Arduino would be fine. He specifically wants to learn Python, which is why I thought of the Rasberry. If the other AD is pretty simple I am sure it wouldn't be to much of a distraction. On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 6:40 AM Forrest Christian (List Account) <

Re: [AFMUG] Biggest raspberry pi 3 kit

The problem with the PI is that it basically just has Binary GPIO - no analog I/O. This shortcoming eliminates a large variety of analog-only sensors (without adding a DAC) Because of this, there really aren't nearly as many compelling "lots of sensors to play with" kits out there... Most

Amazon has a wide selection of kits that include getting started tutorials and manuals. If he is new to python the tutorials and manuals will likely be of a great resource. On Sun, May 7, 2017 at 10:43 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) < li...@packetflux.com> wrote: > The Pi isn't really a

Re: [AFMUG] Biggest raspberry pi 3 kit

The Pi isn't really a sensor platform. It's more of an 'small computer' platform.Most of the projects which use the Pi end up either being something which needs a fair bit of CPU such as machine vision, A/V controllers, audio processing, web servers, etc. Because of this, I'm not aware of a

Re: [AFMUG] Biggest raspberry pi 3 kit

The last R-pi I got was an R-pi 3. I got the whole kit and kaboodle for around $50 IIRC. That's the R-pi 3, a 8GB SD card with Raspbian preloaded, case, and power supply. I generally run my pis headless, so that's all I needed to buy to get things running. The R-pi 3 is __way__ faster than

Re: [AFMUG] Biggest raspberry pi 3 kit

I found the pi3 very easy to use and I am not a python dude but if you know any kind of programming it seems to come easy as any language. I went to Georgia Tech for a some graduate stuff. That varsity restaurant is something to experience at least once in your life. From: Lewis Bergman
