User questions & answers

Question:	Im interested i. building a snart mirror. i woukd like to program alexis. need hlpful instructions
Answer:	I used wireless keyboard and mouse and USB enabled monitor. Lots of options. Not different from any other computer.
Question:	What apps are on the os? Does it have a Python program? A web browser
Answer:	This kit is Prime Eligible as of June 11, 2018.,
Question:	Does anyone have a link to the missing guide? Would be nice to know how to wire the gpio pins
Answer:	It comes with a breadboard, LEDs and switches, but very minimal instructions/documents. But you can find tons of web sites from "how to assemble" to "how to write source code" including educational exercises and experiments, because the original intention of the Raspberry Pi is to educate young kids to learn embedded computings. This is a fairly reasonable price, I think. The "bare" Raspberry Pi is $35 (you can find the price on the Wikipedia), but you will definitely need a high capacity power supply, HDMI cable, case, micro SD card, keyboard and mouse. This kit doesn't come with a keyboard and mouse. It would probably be possible to use BlueTooth keyboard and mouse, but I don't recommend, because you will definitely need them BEFORE booting the operating system. Raspbian OS (Debian-based Linux) is recommended. I have tried Windows 10 IoT but it's super slow and almost useless.
Question:	The screen is upside down cant find a setting to change it
Answer:	Yes

Hello Raspberry Pi!: Python Programming for Kids and Other Beginners

The Raspberry Pi provides an excellent platform for learning to program in Python. It includes many input and output ports to give you flexibility in how you connect it. As you would with a desktop computer, you need to connect a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and power cable before you can start using your Pi.

• This sensor kit comes with 37 basic sensors and modules, which is good for learning basic knowledge about sensors.
• It comes with detailed tutorials which include pictures and code and 37 projects, explained step by step. Note Only provide arduino tutorials, not Raspberry Pi tutorials.
• Each module has 3-4 pins broken out that make it easy to plug into a solderless breadboard or hook up to with DuPont wires.
• They are intended to be used with the Arduino platform, but can also be used with the Raspberry Pi platform as well.
• 37 Sensor kit came nicely packed in a carrying case with every single sensor wrapped in plastic and in its own compartment.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do any of the kits with educational curriculum? need for reimbursement
Answer:	Yes, it will fit, but do you really need access to all 40 pins? Your project will be much more compact if you only bring the required connections from the PI to the proto PCB. Plus, unless you shorten the ribbon cable, mounting the PI to the Perma Proto in close proximity leaves a lot of excess ribbon cable to deal with.
Question:	Does this come with breadboard
Answer:	Sure is. Here is a link that shows the details with photos and specifications... https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-the-raspberry-pi-zero/gpio-header-options
Question:	Does it have raspberry pi code examples
Answer:	The GPIO pinout is the same as my raspberry Pi 3 . It should work on the Pi 4 .
Question:	Does this have a level sensor or something similar to that? Something that measures something that is straight or balanced or even like a pitch angle
Answer:	Looks fine to me!

Turn ON/OFF LED

Some of these modules are extremely simple and basically just breakout the pins of a common device (like an LED or button) to a more larger format that is more prototyping friendly. Just simply connect a button sensor to control the led sensor on or off.

Detecting Flame

This flame sensor can be used to detect fire flame or other lights with wavelength stands at 760nm ~ 1100nm. Perhaps you can install it to monitor the kitchen or make an alarm when detecting the flame source.

Temperature and Humidity Monitor

This DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor is a composite sensor which contains a calibrated digital signal output of the temperature and humidity. Use this sensor to detect the ambient temperature and humidity around you.

Traffic Light Senor

Upload the program to make the red, green and yellow LED on the module automatically simulate the traffic light turning on and off.

Moisture Sensor

The sensor is set with two probes which can be inserted into the soil to detect the moisture content. The higher moisture (less resistance), the higher conductivity the soil has. With the help of this sensor, the plant can remind of you: I need water.

Buzzer Beeping

In this project, you will learn how to generate a sound with an active buzzer module.

Water Level Sensor

This sensor measures the volume of water drop and water quantity through an array of traces of exposed parallel wires.

It is designed for water detection, which can be widely used in sensing the rainfall, water level, even the liquate leakage.

This sensor bundle kit allows you to move from the simple and graphical to the hardware and coding level of DIY electronics.

User questions & answers

Question:	is the raspberry pi included
Answer:	No soldering needed to connect cable to Raspberry pi or to connect cable to board But you will of course need to solder your components to the board.
Question:	What is the app called
Answer:	There is a pin for gnd and another for 3.3V , they should be connected from outside sources , for me I used MSP430 micro controller in the experiment I was working on and connected both gnd and 3.3 from there. Be careful to not increase/decrease the input voltages of the other pins beyond the limit values listed in the datasheet.
Question:	Can i use li-polymer battery instead of two li-ion 18650 batteries? i am going to buy https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b071xsgk9r
Answer:	Sounds like wiring to me Be sure to have a ground between what you are measuring and the a/d Also make sure you are settling it to single ended mode and not differential
Question:	What is a "tf-card", which was included in the self-provided parts list
Answer:	No it will be burned if it receives more than 3.3V.

Smart Video Car Kit for Raspberry Pi with Android App

Notes:

1) The Raspberry Pi is NOT included in the package; you can use Raspberry Pi 3 model B, 2 Model B and 1 Model B+ for control

2) You should apply 3.7V 18650 batteries that contains NO protective circuit board. If you use those with the board, when an overcurrent occurs, they will automatically cut off power for protection, which would suddenly shut down the Raspberry Pi. Thus, the smart car will stop working and the Raspberry Pi may be damaged.

3) If your batteries carry the protective board originally, you can just remove it for use.

Main Features:

- Easy Assembly

You'll need to build the car from scratch. The assembly is very easy, so you can have the fun of DIY and make a video car in a short time.

- APP Control
