Arduino : Introduction

Holidays are the perfect time to explore,learn and build things. It’s holiday time for me and I thought why not build something using Arduino. Arduino is a tiny microcontroller development board using which one can build cool projects. Actually am regretting now that why didn’t I took it early like in my first year of engineering I could have learnt lot many things, But it's never too late to learn something, So here I have compiled some points about Arduino

which might help a beginner.

 What is Arduino?

Before beginning to use it lets know a little bit about Arduino.

Arduino is an open source microcontroller development board. Designed and manufactured in Italy. This project was started with a purpose of providing students

Raspberry Pi : A Complete Overview

After publishing the first post many asked me "Dude what exactly is that Raspberry Pi",So this post is is an introductory piece about RPi.

As technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable tech are evolving in the present day scenario, Open Source technologies are playing key role in the evolution of such technologies. Raspberry Pi is one of such open source technologies which is widely being used by the developers and makers around the world in prototyping and building projects related to Electronics and IoT. There might be lots of questions tickling in the minds of many folks related to Raspberry Pi like what exactly it is and for what it is been used and what are its capabilities. Through this post am trying to answer all those questions.

Setting Up Raspberry Pi Using a Laptop loaded with windows.

Recently I bought a Raspberry Pi B+ model, didn’t had extra monitor, keyboard and mouse so I tried to configure the Pi using my laptop loaded with windows 8.I searched on net for the same and got succeeded in configuring it. In this post I have enlisted step by step procedure to configure a raspberry Pi using laptop's monitor.

Things required:

• Raspberry Pi.
• Ethernet cable.
• Memory Card Reader.
• Micro SD Card.

Power source for raspberry pi (Here I am using my smart phone charger to power the Pi).
