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)
Main Raspberry Pi site
Direct link to "Downloads"
Hooking every thing up
- - Quick Intro/Setup
- - 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
Projects
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), [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 here
