Getting Started

1. Open up the box and find the first card called ‘Getting Started’. This will tell you how to download the programs that accompany the book.

2. Pick one of the ten project cards and use the breadboard layout diagram and component key on the box lid to assemble the design.

3. Fit the Raspberry Leaf GPIO template over the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins and connect the breadboard to the GPIO connector using male to female jumper wires.

4. Run the program for that project.

5. Open up the program in IDLE or a text editor and read the comments about how it works and tinker!
