A Raspberry Pi Project using the Osoyoo Raspberry Pi Starter Kit

This repository is the home for a set of learning projects using the Osoyoo Raspberry Pi Starter Kit. The Osoyoo web site has lesson plans for the kit which are in English and appear to have both C language and Python language examples that work with the kit components. However the example source code is a bit lean on comments and information so I am putting together this repository for two purposes.

The first purpose is to have a copy of my work which I can share with others. The second purpose is to have a backup copy of my work when the inevitable microSD card goes bad event happens.

I am primarily using Raspbian for these projects. Any projects with Windows 10 IoT and UWP applications will be clearly marked.

My Setup

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B kit I bought from newegg.com sold by Makerbright. The kit is composed of:

  • Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
  • 5v 2.5a power supply that plugs into the wall with a micro-USB connector
  • 16 GB microSD card with NOOBS installed on it
  • HDMI cable
  • clear plastic case

I then purchased an ASUS 23" monitor with HDMI connector for a display and a Perixx PERIPAD-501 touchpad from newegg.com. I already had a USB keyboard lying around.

I purchased an Osoyoo Raspberry Pi Starter Kit from Amazon which has the necessary breadboard with 40 pin cable and the T connector along with several sensors, a servo motor, a few LEDs, and a package of resistors.

The manufacturer's web site is at URL http://osoyoo.com/2017/07/13/raspberry-pi-3-starter-learning-kit-introduction/ which has a parts list as well as a number of lessons using the parts.
