Raspberry Pi Press – serie

Computers are embedded into almost everything we own. Our doorbells, kitchen gadgets, vacuum cleaners, and media players are all powerful computing devices running software that someone has written. ​Using the flexible Python programming language, Python Projects for Raspberry Pi shows you how to get the most out of the Pico range of microcontrollers and Raspberry Pi computers like Raspberry Pi 5.​Learn how to:​Interact with sensors and motors​​Build a smart weather station​​Make your own games console​​Add web interfaces to your projects​Recognise gestures with machine learningGet the most out of your Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPythonExtend Python with C​Perfect for intermediate users who want to sense, control, and take over the world with homemade digital assistants, smart devices, and robots.

With this essential guide, you'll learn how to create all kinds of AI-powered projects on Raspberry Pi!Combining Raspberry Pi hardware with artificial intelligence gives you new ways to interact with the world: turn your surroundings into a playing field with computer vision models, predict and adjust to changes in environmental conditions, and engage with people in natural ways.You'll learn how to enhance projects you build with Raspberry Pi computers and microcontrollers, with or without AI accelerator hardware. AI Projects with Raspberry Pi shows you how to run models directly on the CPU and on the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ and AI HAT+ 2 neural network accelerators. Whether you're using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5, or the ultra-low-cost Raspberry Pi Pico, you'll find something in this guide from Raspberry Pi Press.You'll learn how to:Identify and categorise objects in pictures or videoRecognise and generate speechTranslate from one language to anotherUse generative AI models to create images or textTrain models to make predictions from sensor readings, such as temperature and accelerationThis book starts with a quick overview of the basics of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and then moves on to a variety of hands-on projects you can build yourself. It also includes full-colour illustrations as well as source code you can use in your own Raspberry Pi artificial intelligence adventures!

Sometimes only words will do. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were a great advance, creating an easy route into computer use for many non-technical users. For complex tasks, though, the interface can become a limitation: blocking off choices, and leaving a circuitous route even for only moderately complicated jobs.(Re-)Enter the command line: the blinking cursor that many thought had faded away in the 1990s. For getting instructions from user to computer - in a clear, quick, and unambiguous form - the command line is often the best way. It never disappeared on UNIX systems, and now, thanks to Raspberry Pi OS on the Raspberry Pi, a new generation is discovering the power of the command line to simplify complex tasks, or instantly carry out simple ones.Master essential skills:Read and write text filesFind & install softwareManage removable storageUse Secure Shell for remote accessCreate Raspberry Pi SD cardsGoing online in the command lineand much, much more.If you're not comfortable when faced with the $ prompt, then don't panic! In this fully updated book, we'll quickly make you feel at home, and able to find your way around the terminal on the Pi, or any other GNU/Linux computer: getting things done, and unlocking the power of the command line.Updated for the latest Raspberry Pi devices and hardware, this book has everything you need to get started.
