The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing, browsing the internet, and playing games. It also plays high-definition video. This book takes you step-by-step through many fun and educational possibilities. Take advantage of several preloaded programming languages. Use the Raspberry Pi ...

Do you want to be able to receive satellite images using nothing but your computer, an old TV antenna, and a $20 USB stick? Now you can. At last, the technology exists to turn your computer into a super radio receiver, capable of tuning in to FM, shortwave, amateur "ham," and even satellite frequencies, around the world and above it. Listen to police, fire, and aircraft signals, both in the clear and encoded. And with the book's advanced antenna design, there's no limit to the signals you ...

Make a Raspberry-Pi Controlled Robot teaches you how to build a capable and upgradeable personal robot for around $100.

You'll also learn many ways to connect to your robot and send it instructions, from an SSH connection to sending text messages from your phone.

Get up and running quickly with the Jumpstarting series!Jumpstarting books provide an avenue for makers to quickly master topical knowledge.Each book starts with instructions on how to install or initialize the hardware or software needed to reach the all-important "Hello, World" stage of getting started.The second project builds on the first to use more of the hardware or software's capabilities.The final project expands the user's knowledge into lesser-known aspec...

All Make Jumpstart books provide a quick way for makers to "jumpstart" their knowledge of a certain topic.Jumpstarting C takes the reader on a 50-page journey, from installing C on a Raspberry Pi, to creating their first "Hello World" program in C, to building and programming a handheld 4-color memory game using C, pushbuttons and LEDs.

The micro:bit, a tiny computer being distributed by the BBC to students all over the UK, is now available for anyone to purchase and play with. Its small size and low power requirements make it an ideal project platform for hobbyists and makers. You don't have to be limited by the web-based programming solutions, however: the hardware on the board is deceptively powerful, and this book will teach you how to really harness the power of the micro:bit. You'll learn about sensors, Bluetooth co...
