Raspberry Pi - All You Need To Know

If you keep your ear to the Tinkering community, I'm sure you've heard whispers (and shouts) of the Raspberry Pi. And if you wanted to get into making, tinkering, computing, or electronics, the Raspberry Pi is a great tool to have in your tool belt. But what is it? And why is it so popular? Let's find out!

[@Edvinas_channel]

Lets be real, you only did this to flex your sick animation skills

[@Zellymackintosh]

Evop Fx i always wondered how those animation programs even work , i use to swear that ppl would animate them shits themselves lololol

[@account8132]

Or he hired animators to do it for him

[@subliminalcastillo2126]

@Evop Fx Digital animation to the degree of this video takes a lot of skill & technical finesse. There are programs that make things such as filters, transitions, etc easily accessible for the general public to slap on video clips, but that doesn't make the more advanced stuff any easier to learn how to pull off well.

[@gwsmith76]

And flex he did, flexed hard. A way better animation than any other animated KZbin video I've ever seen.

[@peteirie1075]

[@applescruff1969]

Why?

[@lancetschirhart7676]

Everybody says "The possibilities are endless!" And proceeds to demonstrate something as creative as a calculator. I'm still trying to figure out what people buy these for. I feel like I _should_ want one.

[@eila2088]

@Sid If you live where you can get a subsidized prepaid phone yeah. Though the video out might be near non existent and pi is far more flexible.

[@eila2088]

@Sid Getting video out from the USB c and micro USB connector is lottery especially on low end. Despite MHL and USB C video being things it's often not supported. The Pi can run far more operating systems including full desktop Linux rather then limited to Android. An Android that will be outdated and abandoned unless your prepaid phone is popular enough and using Qualcomm so roms can exist.

[@zacharywalter9139]

This is much more insightful that was I was looking for. Hats off to you for your work, animation skills, and great way of explaining their capabilities.

[@MMX17]

After being in college for a few years and transitioning to a university I decided I wanted to learn coding and how to be a programmer. I even had a dream where I would learn most if not all coding languages. After a while motivation left me and I started to feel discouraged and question my studies. After watching your video, you have reignited my passion for the science of coding and creating. I have learned more from your video and the applications of the topics you covered than most things I have seen in college.

[@ChateauLonLon]

Hey man, how is it going!

[@Ambrodabro]

yeah hows it going buddy chum pal chum buddy pal chum

[@pachinachy8903]

i seen your comment and it motivated me to be a programmer as well , hows the programming carrer going so far ?

[@xaby996]

Yikes

[@notme377]

That isn't a proper mindset for an area like software development. You can't just "learn every language". Some change frequently, and you'll need to know the frameworks and libraries that are useful/productive. Instead you should focus on getting to know the fundamentals of a subset of programming very deeply. Object oriented, databases, servers, etc. Just learning all the languages is rather useless if you're not able to use those to actually do something in the real world.

[@bat9241]

ok $5 computer but 20 dollar to have it shipped

[@AutoPiio]

Probably the best Raspberry Pi video out there! Great animation skills, easy to understand language and I got the feeling of wanting to know more even after the video ended. Great job Tinkernut!

[@MediterraneanMan26]

really ! we are here for informations about the devise and he wasted the first minute on flexing his animations skills which is very unnecessary , i also hated the american measuring system comparing it to a deck of cards or a stick of gum is so stupidand very undecisive, just give the dimensions in centimeteres or inches

[@kingbouncer1314]

TINKERNUT! it's been years!!! So glad I rediscovered this channel!

[@sleepingkindaof]

Thank you for keeping it simple enough to understand

[@Fridgidice]

I would have covered associated energy consumption (.4w - 5.1w depending on the model) and certain drawbacks like having to worry about safe shutdown. While the pi 3/4 can legitimately replace full laptops for many people who only do email/web surfing, it's the fact that it can do so with a fraction of the electrical cost is what makes it worth doing. Good intro video though.

[@neef68]

Great information and an amazing presentation ☺️😁. Thanks for uploading!

[@Bulbassador]

Im a DIYer, but im not someone who grew up tinkering with computers. I think most people in this hobby start with an interest in the tech, then and look for problems in their life they can solve with tech as an excuse to use it more. As much as i find pi builds impressive, that method of motivation never worked for me. I really needed a problem to come up that couldnt be solved well enough with a low tech solution. Well, as a budding gardener in my 30s, i finally have a gardening project that has me excited at the idea of leaning this DIY tech stuff. I'm really looking forward to pouring myself into the huge knowledge base this community has created to achieve my data gathering goals. The comments section here does give me pause about whether or not the community is open to non-tech newbies.. It seems like some of you feel like this guy is stooping to my level :/ but Im grateful for entry level resources like this.

[@bathoreon3203]

Curious but what gardening project did you or are you starting using raspberry pi?

[@whimbur]

In my opinion, jumping into something like a raspberry pi is a huge first step, especially if you have little to no experience with programming or computers in general. I wish you luck on your journey into this huge world

You can hook up any hdmi screen to it. If you want one that comes with it, it is going to shoot up the price to well over 100 bucks. The point of the Pi's are that they are cheap and easy to get and program with.

The sensors would be on my wifi network and be for measuring stuff around the house. Would the Raspberry Pi be something that could be core to being able to do something like that? I don't have any idea where these sensors are purchased but I would think they are out there somewhere Great video.. Thanks

The Parrot Yes. Make sure you download it from the Raspberry Pi website, as the version from the Ubuntu website doesn’t support the Pi.

[@Clover501]

Good video

[@crcomments8509]

Both, but keep in mind some Arduino models run at 5V and others 3.3V, so you do have be careful how you connect the two together. Also the ESP32 is far more powerful than Arduino, simpler than Pi and has built in WiFi and Bluetooth whilst still programmable using the Arduino IDE.

[@condor5635]

I have a desire to learn how I can monitor and log data into a desktop computer from an appliance like an AC unit. Generally conditions like voltage present and being able to log the on off times remotely from a desktop 100 feet away from any of these devices. I would like the radio frequency options so that they’re not hardwired. So essentially I would like to hook up some device to my outside air conditioner where I can log on my desktop the times when the compressor turns on and when it turns off. Is this some sort of raspberry pi solution with radio frequency receivers and transmitters? Some sort of device that detects when a voltage is present or not sort of thing and then transmits that state to the desktop application or file I really have no idea. I’m totally mechanically confident but the electronics behind radio frequencies and DYI electronics is totally new to me. Any suggestion or solutions appreciated!

[@evanscott9473]

If I ordered one of these things, and I want to, I wouldn't know how to put games on it or how to hook it up not only to a TV, but how to hook it up in those Raspberry Pi encasings that look like an original NES or Sega Genesis. I guess I'd also have to figure out how to replace Windows or add Linux to my computer (assuming to download games).
