Project 1
Hello World
It is a
Hotshot
custom to begin learning anything new with a Hello World example. Since we
will be doing really cool things in this topic, we will say "Hello World" in a unique fashion.
In this project, we will use the Raspberry Pi to cause an LED light to blink. This project is
directed towards those who are relaively new to the Raspberry Pi environment as a warm-
up exercise. Feel free to skip ahead if you have already done this with your Pi, though we
suggest you look through and make sure you haven't missed anything.
A quick introduction to the
Raspberry Pi
If we search for the term
Raspberry Pi
over the web or open the Raspberry Pi Foundaion's
webpage, we will find that the Raspberry Pi is a computer that is the size of a credit card.
