Program your own Raspberry Pi projects Create innovative programs and fun games on your tiny yet powerful Raspberry Pi. In this book, electronics guru Simon Monk explains the basics of Raspberry Pi application development, while providing hands-on examples and ready-to-use scripts. See how to set up hardware and software, write and debug applications, create user-friendly interfaces, and control external electronics. Do-it-yourself projects include a hangman game, an LED clock, and a software-controlled roving robot. Boot up and configure your Raspberry PiNavigate files, folders, and menusCreate Python programs using the IDLE editorWork with strings, lists, and functionsUse and write your own libraries, modules, and classesAdd Web features to your programsDevelop interactive games with PygameInterface with devices through the GPIO portBuild a Raspberry Pi Robot and LED ClockBuild professional-quality GUIs using Tkinter.
