This is an introductory page describing how to setup a new Raspberry Pi.

Suggested 1st video--> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbJB3387xUw

Hardware

- Raspberry Pi

- Power adapter (2.5 V

- USB keyboard

- USB mouse

- HDMI monitor

- micro SD card (for OS and storage - 8G min)

Software NOOBS/Raspbian

Software needs to be loaded onto the micro SD Card (note that website has been modified since this video was posted). Note: You will need to unzip(extract) the download directly to the sd card. The file path will be something like /F:

- Extended version

Install Arduino IDE Software

1) you need to first "update" and "upgrade" the Raspbian by typing/pasting the following commend into the terminal window:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

2) then install the Arduino software:

sudo apt-get install arduino

-or-

The following is the manual way to install the most up-to-date Arduino software:

1) Go to the following link: Arduino Link

2) Download the "Linus Arm" file on the right side of the window.

3) Once downloaded on the Raspberry Pi, type in the following code into the terminal window:

cd Downloads/

hit enter

tar -xf arduino-1.8.8-linuxarm.tar.xz

hit enter

sudo mv arduino-1.8.8 /opt

hit enter

sudo /opt/arduino-1.8.8/install.sh

hit enter

   *Note: The version number will change in time, so enter the current version in place of the 1.8.8

Science Software for Raspberry Pi

Science Software

from link above (for installing software)

make sure your pi software is uptodate... sudo apt-get update

then install software packages...sudo apt-get install package name

see website above for software packages available.

suggested: Jmol <-- for visualizing protein structure

Maybe? GROMACS <-- molecular dynamics simulations OpenBabel_gui <--chemical file conversion

NOT suggested: Pymol <---way too slow on Pi 3+

-===Project: Dog Treat Dispenser===
-This is not an easy project, but i believe it is doable (?). This project will create a physical device that will dispense a "thing" (dog treat or dry erase marker) when a txt message is sent to a phone number. The physical device will have a Raspberry Pi micro-computer connected to an Arduino board, which in turn is connected to a servo motor to actuate the dispensing.
-This project was described in the March 2018 MAKE magazine (MAKEzine), [[https://makezine.com/2016/03/10/remote-treat-dispenser-pet-photography/ here]

-To get started, I found the following video to be useful; if this physical device is going to respond to a txt message, then there must be some link between the act of sending the txt and the dispensing of the thing. In the following video, a basic description of something called an API (Application Programming Interface) is presented [https://youtu.be/s7wmiS2mSXY here]
