When i was a kid, i loved watching backyard science on national geographic. I have watched only season one. I loved the simple experiments they would show and i would try to do the same experiments at home after school .

Hi,
I am currently reading this book called "Code_ The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" written by Charles Petzold and found it really interesting. I would like to know about similar books that are fun to read and learn for all age groups.
Any good recommendations?

Ah a 'Totally Pointless Box'

Ha Ha ..yes , it is.

A microcontroller (e.g. Arduino) makes more sense for instant-on and low power. You could do something more elaborate to use the more capable Pi3. This could still be Arduino, but with networking, video (a 3.5 inch TFT) text to speech...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apVR5Htz0K4 Pi ZeroW is an o...

Hi,

I am interested in making an ultimate machine with minimum budget. I bought a PI 3 model b few months ago and haven't built anything with it so far. Could anyone suggest a way to build this with minimum budget?

I own Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and am a beginner. I have no experience in programming. I am thinking of learning Raspberry Pi using a laptop. Would that be helpful?
Also i read that Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is recommended for school projects, so can i not use it for bigger projects?

Hi,

I am Ronin. I bought Raspberry Pi 3 Model B few months back but have not been able to do anything with it because of lack of time. This year i hope i will be able to spend some time to learn the Pi.

Thank You
