Raspberry Pi 4 Getting Started

[@marklane2359]

Thanks for doing this tutorial, I have always wanted to have a go at computer programming and projects but never had the guts to do so as I am 61 years old and dyslexic , I have problems spelling IT never mind doing it, but now feel it is time to have a go, so Raspberry Pi added to Christmas wish list.

[@enlightenedfriend3043]

I might get one, good luck with your project, god bless you

[@yobro683]

Good luck!

[@diggee172]

Bless you. Enjoy. Take your time. I’m retiring and I’m getting into this stuff now. Can’t wait

[@leadmanski]

we are never too old to learn

[@SehnsuchtYT]

I hope it went alright!

[@NewAgeDIY]

FYI Picked up a CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB). And it included Samsung EVO+ 64GB MicroSD w/NOOBS. Not sure if you got a old kit or not. Thanks for sharing your ideas Last point. Tell people to put that Pi in its case before plugging everything in. I can’t tell you how many people I know that have blown up there Pi by shorting it out by having A piece of metal touching the backplate. You have a great channel, keep up the good work!

Dude (and I mean that with great respect) you are the man. I started out back in the 70's with the TRS80 then the TI 99/4a from the I went to the Ohio Scientific unit with the 3 processors (6505 / 6800 / Z80) with a Winchester 74meg hard drive that was bigger than a dell rack mount blade server. I remember the lights dimming when I power it on. Then of course the IBM PC (win95) up to now the Win 10. I've learned programing in all those CPU so when I bought the first Rasp for so reason I was lost nothing seem to work right from download to installing. 67 years old and this You Tube was a great answer to understanding the process. Thank you so much. I'm big into Hydroponics and now I think I can use the Rasp to help with my system. Ordering the Canakit and the Ultimate Starter Kit.

[@bonynge5]

A brilliant tutorial, thank you. I've had little raspberry pi Element 14 for ages and not done anything with it. Time for this 75 year old to start playing.

[@digitalgods5568]

One of the best tutorials I have seen on KZbin in any category. Very nicely done, even down to the speedup indicators on your video! Thanks, this helps quite a bit.

[@tteastman4346]

One of the BEST (actually the best) straight forward how to videos I've seen on KZbin. Well done and Ty!

[@brentgutmann]

I love it that the very first video I watch to understand my new raspberry pi is done by a guy in an mcrn shirt. Well done mariner!

[@mhere4fun1]

I must say, This is the most detailed explanation about raspberry Pi I have seen on KZbin. I was pretty confused about many things in raspberry Pi before watching this video and it has cleared most of my doubts. This is pretty under rated video and every raspberry Pi starter must watch this before u start working. Thanks for detailed explanation.

[@Weaseldog2001]

I'm using one of these to monitor outside cameras. It's an amazing amount of power in a small package.

[@justinbarrientes270]

Using it to monitor them through a web browser or ?

[@Weaseldog2001]

@@justinbarrientes270 yes. The server is a dedicated webserver.

[@BloodScientist]

I bought a Pi at the beginning of the pandemic, but working in healthcare we didn't get to do the whole work from home / take up baking / pick up hobbies. I dug it out today and thought I'd make use of it. Thanks for such a fantastic, detailed video.

[@MrBigajm]

Thanks for this video. Just bought a Pi4 but it came with no instructions on how to set it up. Watching your video was the perfect guide.

[@staninjapan07]

Thanks. Just saw Getting Started With The Raspberry Pi 4 - Use It As A Linux PC by ETA PRIME and that intrigued me so I came here. Had heard nothing of these since the first one yers ago. I am not a tech' savvy user, but I enjoyed your video, and I think it's very cool that people can learn all about this stuff at a relatively very low cost by getting one of these. As someone who uses his computer just to use the 'net and make activities for the classroom with regular office software, one of these would be perfectly enough for me if my current computer died again and could not be brought back to life. The fact that we can now get a computer to plug into our monitor, keyboard and mouse and get set up for so little money and at so low a cost astounds me.

[@jentronics3754]

The "servo" you was turning is a potentiometer, a variable resistor. A servo is a device that normally physically controls something and provides feedback. An example would be computer remotely opening/closing a valve in a factory by signalling a servo called a MOV (Motor Operated Valve). The MOV would provide feedback to inform the computer how much the valve is opened. Did enjoy your video; was looking or a video to recommend to a teen interested in the Pi.

[@irwingalvarez]

First time coming across this channel and as soon as the video started, IMMEDIATELY I was like, "why is Billy Eichner about to give me the deets on getting started with a Raspberry Pi 4"?

[@briancanfield2968]

Thought so too until I noticed he wasn't shouting the entire time.

[@IgorEngelen1974]

I just completed a pi hole setup with a raspberry 4 and it was a great project. Not too complicated yet very rewarding.

[@TheRealMarsEnjoyer]

I know this is a couple years after upload, but I just got my raspberry pi and set it up how you did it here and this has been SO helpful. Thank you for this!

[@WSallai]

Chris, this was brilliant! You provided everything someone with absolutely no knowledge of RasberryPi would need to start. Don’t know Python or any other language and am excited about learning that too. Looking forward to seeing what else you have and have subscribed. Thanks from a Nooby.

Why do comments on tutorial videos always sound so fake like “thank you so much I couldn’t get my raspberry pi to work until I saw this, it was so easy to follow with your good instructions.”

[@happym0nk3y]

[@EpicSauce-Digital]

For those of you coming coming to this in the present day, I am just starting as of 2023... Noobs seems to be replaced. "What Happened to NOOBS? First launched in 2013, NOOBS (New Out Of Box Software) was designed to make installing an operating system on a Raspberry Pi easy. But in 2020, Raspberry Pi Imager was released. This features most of the same functionality as NOOBS, while adding support for larger SD cards." So basically Raspberry Pi Imager is equivalent to Noobs, as the link on his blog post doesn't bring you to download Noobs anymore, just the many options of OS downloading for the Pi.

[@Cha0s_Generat0r]

Your teaching style is perfect. Thank you!

[@simonghoul3602]

I appreciate the tutorial, everything I found online was images of Raspberry Pi boards, and I had no idea how it would look like once I finish setting up and once I placed it near my router. I often felt like "Yes, I get that, the pi is the board itself, but that's not how it would look like after I set it up. Just show me the damn thing once it's set up, because if it's too big or something then there's no point in getting the pi :)"

[@BenUkulele]

Thanks for this tutorial. I just got mine yesterday.

[@lunanuevadesigns3960]

There are a ton of Raspberry Pi project videos, but this is the first intro video I've seen. Thank you! I've worked in information security and digital forensics for the last 20+ years, so I'm a technical person, but never knew how to get started until now. I really appreciate this video, and finally have one on order! I can't wait to get started!

[@texman1166]

Thanks for the excellent presentation. I learned a few things. One problem I am having is that I cannot get my Raspberry Pi 4 to work with my WiFi. The Raspberry Pi 4 sees my network but it will not connect via WiFi. I'm open to suggestions.

[@infotruther]

Its probably due to your signal strength. Just go to your service provider and tell them you need more speed.

I started this week with a Raspberry PI 3B. I chose this version because a PI 4 here in the Netherlands is very difficult to get new and second-hand, very ridiculous prices are asked (more than double what it normally costs) The PI 3 version is a bit affordable second-hand I made an emulation station from the Raspberry, its super funny!

Got a BTT Pi for my 3d printer. after playing with it for a bit while the print was finishing i ended up getting the 4g pi 4. Kinda neat and does alot for something the size of a pack of smokes. Probably will turn into an emulation/media box. Wish i would have messed with this stuff years ago.

Chris, This was a break from the usual unifi stuff I come here for but was a very good introduction to the pi. I have been using them for various things since the early days but I have no coding skills as such. Would love to see some examples of how you use these to do monitoring or maybe even replacement of cloudkeys etc. Closest I have come to using these for network monitoring was to have one of this display a web page on a monitor from a remote network monitor or weather map. These do make it very easy to have 16 monitors on the wall watching a large corporate network. Thanks for the video.

yes! been looking all day for a video explaining raspi

PINN seems to be an alternative to Noobs I was going to test today. Alternatively, you can install Balena Etcher in your computer, download the full image you want to install (say raspbian full with recommended software) and "flash" it to the micro SD with etcher. To do so you just 1: select the image you downloaded, 2: select the micro SD and 3: Clic Flash! With this method you can install an Arm version of Manjaro, for example. Although Raspbian is probably the best choice anyway. Nice vid! Loved the small multi-color case.
