- Опубликовано: 9 мар 2022
- Announcing the Most Awesome Raspberry Pi Lessons of All Times! This time we RUMBLE!
In this lesson I will take you through first boot of your pi, and then show how to improve the desktop appearance.
In this class series, we will be using the most excellent Sunfounder Ultimate Raspberry Pi kit, available at here: (Affiliate Link)

or for our UK friends, amzn.to/3I5d401
You guys get your hardware ordered so you can follow along at home!
You will also need a Raspberry Pi. I suggest the Raspberry Pi 4. If you do not already have one, this is the most suitable gear I could find:
amzn.to/3pBMfKm
The Raspberry Pi's are sort of pricy right now, so you can look on ebay or elsewhere to see if there are any deals. You will need a SD card. If you do not already have one, this is a good one:
amzn.to/3KcXTn2
I like using a wireless keyboard and mouse to have fewer wires. You can certainly use your USB keyboard and mouse, but if you want a nice wireless one, this one works on the pi.

Paul, I am a tooling engineer and I'm 57 and just bought my first Rasberry PI,
I love that you don't just teach how, but WHY! Thank you for your time and effort.
Sir I am a electronics engineer and I want to buy rasberry pi which model shoul I buy please tell sir.

I swear I always come back whenever I need any tutorial because I think you have the best tutorials on youtube. Thank you very much for your time and effort! Many of my friends were so surprised at how much I know and recommend your video. Although they complained about it being boring or too long, I think your video is perfect to weed out annoying people who only wanna do surface level works.
Fantastic work Paul. After having worked through all of your Arduino sessions I have made it to the Raspberry Pi lessons. As a PLC programmer these learning about these controllers has been refreshing. Keep up the sessions.
Sir, your contribution to education is of immeasurable and timeless value to all anyone who is passionate about technology and believe you deserve at least 10 million subscribers ( ...and 10 million is not your value, its just a number). I have bought a umpteen number of courses on many sites and many of them are excellent, but none of those excellent courses are even comparable to yours !!. Stay blessed by all gods of all religions and by all people. YOU are truly a citizen of the world and of all humanity
Thank you for making this series. I look forward to upcoming episodes!
Can't believe my luck! I was about to start going through your old pi videos, very happy you've started this, totally agree about your comments about the educational material available on getting started. Thank you for putting in the effort!
I'm currently watching and coding along your Arduino tutorials. It is quite helpful before I currently studying IoT at college. Next year, we will be using the Raspberry Pi, therefore I am very happy to come across these lessons. I have saved this playlist for later.
Thank you so much for your priceless contribution.
I've really enjoyed and learned from your teaching. I appreciate all you've done in these courses. I will continue learning from you.
Thank you for taking your time and building this series I have been watching a lot of your arduino series and truly love watching these.
Brilliant, thank you very much for your kindness in providing these tutorials. May God bless you.
I'm so excited for this!! I watched your entire Arduino playlist last year & learned so much from you.
I'm excited to embark on another journey with you!
BOOM!
I love your videos man
Love this, cant wait to take on it this weekend and the coming few.
OMG YOUR AWESOME I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
One of my favorite teacher! Thanks!
I have my hardware ordered. This should be fun. Automating the irrigation of raised garden beds would be interesting. This would also impress my gardener wife!
Hi Paul, Love all your video tutorial series. They're so explanatory, yet simple to understand and learn which makes them unique. Your videos are theory and concept based, along with their implementation. And I have a bucket of coffee ready with ice, no sugar for this tutorial as well as for all the coming ones. All the best!
Glad you like them!
I really enjoyed your Arduino series. Can't wait for this series! I mostly use my Pi's for linux server stuff but feel like I'm wasting its GPIO potential. Thanks for making these vids, really appreciate it and looking forward to each one!
Hey, I find you very sympatic. I'm 51old lady from Austria. Just started with an education at a tec- high- school to become an computer scientist- realy crazy- I know. And for my project with rasperry pi I searched for more information. So I am glad to find helpful information for my studies. And by the way can train my English knowledge. :)Thank you!
Amazingly MY Pi WORKS just as Paul said it should! And I am using a monitor, keyboard and mouse scrounged from neighborhood front porch pickups! Some of the setup screens lacked some functions that were in the video, but I suspect it is because I have not updated my operating system. After all the warnings about corrupting the SD card, I am afraid to turn the power off to the Pi. I think this lesson should include shutdown instructions. Many thanks to Paul for this most excellent lesson on bringing the Pi to life!
Keep up the good work! I have looked and looked for a decent course for the raspberry pi that was free and just could not find one and this one is perfect! Thank you!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!
Awesome, I'm following your Arduino vids too. This really helped me out.
it is so good and educational! Very good for the beginners!
I loved this video, and it did teach me a lot more about the Raspberry PI.😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰
Great work Paul! I really appreciate the settings of this course, because I'd like to understand how the Raspberry works and how I can make what I'd like to do with it.
This 1st lesson reminds me of the 1st lesson of jetson nano. So nostalgic 🥺. Time flies so fast.
love this guy already
Another wonderful series which unfortunately is out of my price range since I'm unemployed. Please say prayers for me that I will be able to find work and join with you all. I'm working currently with Arduino series and enjoying it enormously :) Good luck to you all!
God bless you with wonderful job
God bless you with knowledge and wealth 🙏🏼
Keep trying. I was out of job for 2 years and found a real good job. May your dreams be fulfilled.
Gonna get ready for the new series!
Thanks Paul great video
Thank you very much!
thanks for this amazing tutorial
so great lesson Paul's thank you so much
Hey Paul! I'm really looking forward to the new series! This will be my first introduction to Raspberry Pi and I am super pumped! I got everything set up and I am ready to go. It would be really cool to see some more openCV and mediapipe stuff similar to what was taught in the AI for Everyone series.
Thanks again for all that you do! I hope all is well!
Yes, would be interesting to apply the OpenCV and mediapipe stuff we learned in the AI class to raspberry pi, with its GPIO pens. Definietly might head that direction in later lessons
Hello sir, just wan't to say fantastic start to a new tutorial series! Pretty new with pi and this really helped me get the pi ready for tons of different projects. I admire your skill and your explaining of everything you do. Your contribution to my Raspberry pi education is incredible please continue to create awesome tutorials like this!
Great to hear!
Thanks, Paul. Great video. James.
Thanks paul, After long time I'm started now..
If every uni or college had even one Paul McWhoter it will be worth every penny going to them. Absolutely brilliant teaching.. Thank you very much.
I live in Vietnam, thanks to your website, I know the leading technology development in this world.
Thank you for this tutorial 🤓🌹
Just got all the hardware and completed the first lesson. Hope to catch up with the live lessons in a few weeks.
Awesome! Can't wait to see these tutorials! Btw, when will you be releasing your 3D Printing Tutorials? Thanks!
Thank you Sir for a great lesson again - You are a magic man! 👍
Thank you so much. Only did the first lesson so far but absolutely love it.
Now Keep Going!
Thank you Paul!!! You got me rolling in the right direction for Arduino and now the RPi lesson will be greatly appreciated!
Excellent! KF5ZBY
#RESISTTHEMETAVERSE
Great lesson--took me a few hours to get my script working properly, but time well spent. Glad I hung in to the end and learned how to enlarge the scene and move images into center of view. Would like some lessons covering (1) live graphs with analog input from Python, (2) saving data from Arduino to csv with Python, (3) reading to and writing from csv simultaneously (if possible),(4) data visualization using Arduino and Python.
Very cool that you are doing this, im tinkering mainly with the pi now and i watched your old series lately, is there much new information this series will give us?
Also, please do an updated version of the ip streaming camera
Thanks for all that you do for stimulating the minds of young and old!
Wow, thanks, Really appreciate the help!
Can't wait for this lesson I love raspberry pi thank you for doing this Paul 😁
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Paul. Thank you very much for all of your education videos. I think you are the best. I wish my kids would watch your videos but unfortunately they are busy with TikTok :-D. I usually don't know English very well, but I understand your videos one hundred percent. You have a very clear pronunciation. Good that there are people like you.
Hey, you are the adult, block them from tiktok. Unless they have a job and paying for their food and clothing, you are in charge. I am not kidding. Kids spend too much time on social media, and it is rotting their brain. You are the adult, take charge.
Thank you, Sir!
Thanks for the useful and free lessons.
Wow, thanks for the support, it means a lot to me!
Thank you!
Just got my Pi delivered today! Now I'm doubling up on your New Arduino series and your Raspberry Pi series!!
Great kickoff to this series! I'm already watching it for the 2nd time. I always had a dream of installing a Pi in the dashboard of my truck. My wife and I travel around the States with our truck camper and I thought I could make a cool control panel. I would like to connect a cable to the OBDII port to display info that the dashboard doesn't give me. Maybe connect GPS also. I would also like to make it a screen for rear and side cameras. Maybe it could be connected to a cellular router. I'm sure you had nothing like this in mind but I'm hoping by the time we are done that I could figure this stuff out myself. I have a USB GPS unit that I've played around with already that I was able to read location signals. I got the info for that from your first Arduino classes. I've seen people install Android Auto on a Pi and do some of this but I would rather do my own and create my own system.
very good intention, i love that
You are a good teacher, thank you for the awesome content!
I appreciate that!
thank you SO much for putting this together.. . I LOVE your deliberate, methodical ..and s l o w pace... it is so very easy to get left behind when following a teacher.... excitedly looking forward to LEARNING and DOING .... this old Electronics Engineer is looking forward to learning new tricks...
Glad it was helpful!
Great Intro!
Was desperately waiting for this series...........................................
Your patience has been richly rewarded!
Hi Paul, I’m Jim B from the US. I have had an interest in using a small pc to read inputs & control outputs for some home automation. The last few days I have started learning of the PI platform and I’m excited to learn of the possibilities having access to gpio. This morning I took your recommendation and ordered the pi 4, and the sun founder kit.
What I would like to see in this series is converting projects to permanent projects which you never take out, you don't take out the microcontroller (or pi for that matter) and teaching us how to power projects like this, connect projects like these, etc.
Also, a project which combines openCV, vPython and arduino would be great!
Thank you Sir
This is a absolutely what I needed 🙏
Glad to hear it
I have received all the parts except a video adapter required for my monitor setup, which Amazon delayed for 2 days. I just can't wait to see one of those neat raspberries on my monitor!
Paul, we will be more than happy if you could make a series on "Linux Kernel Development" on this channel. There are barely any series on this topic in depth. Thanks in advance.
YEEEESSSSS, I like Arduino but the raspberry pi has a special place on my heart. Thanks a lot Paul.
My pleasure!
Hey Paul. Great to see you are still cranking out the lessons. I would love to see some lessons on designing electronic circuits...something with some discreet chips to achieve a particular purpose. I understand that is not the topic here but while its on my mind, I thought I might plant some seeds. As always, keep up the great work.
Great to hear from you, it has been a while.
Hi Paul, love all the stuff you have done… with raspberry pi I like you show us how to setup Webserver.. As I am using raspberry pi a project and I like setup openCV Webserver. Thanks Paul.
Thank you so much. I would like to see the Promgrma environment that you mentioned!
Greetings from Sweden!
You, Sir, just got yourself a new subscriber 🎉
Welcome aboard!
Very impressive what you have been doing, looks like i found some gold right here
Wow, thanks!
can click on Preferences to the individual Spacer in panel preferences to alter the size of the spacer much more control than using a stretcher
the best ❤❤🤞🤞
and for the Homework... I would like to use speaker, text to speech, and color sensing with the pi camera,
as well as using the motion sensor module (it's in the sunfounder kit), and learning how to use limit switches. sincere Thank you from Texas!!! #RESISTTHEMETAVERSE !!!
Gotta admit, there was a few settings you went over that I was not aware of. Definitely makes the Rpi a little more appealing already.
Hi Paul, thanks for the series. Am still new to the pi and I would like to operate it remotely. Kindly share with us about remote operation.
Hi Paul. I loved all the courses you've created so far.
I was wondering if you could create a full course about the FESTO Robotino, as it is a new technology that's being used for the Industry 4.0.
I am asking this as I was hired by my school to learn everything about the Robotino but there is not much material available, and a course done by you would be amazing to have.
Keep up with the great work sir. I love your content! A big shout out from Humber College, Toronto.
All the very best! 😊 😊
I would love to see a session on the remote use of 3D printers through Raspberry Pi. Thanks a lot.
Paul, I’m back. Learned so much from your Arduino series. (Like iced coffee😂)
Enjoy!
Hey Paul. Just got done with Arduino lessons and jumping over to pi. So what i would need for my crazy project is a hud replacement for a motorbike with rpm and speed, dashcam and such. So Arduino is doing all the analog reads for rpm and speed, then pi needs to get that data translate it to a hud. Then the pi can do the dashcam stuff aswell. So homework back at you Paul..hehe
Paul, you're an absolute godsend!! Thank you for spending so much time helping us all with the configuration. It was a bit of a challenge for me as it took over 6 hours to write the image to the SD card. I had expected it to be quite slow given that Windows 11 took 6 days and five nights to install.
I also only have one monitor so I have to keep switching the display back and forth between HDMI1 and HDMI2. I could try watching you on my iPad but then munchkin-size would be reduced to amoeba-size. I don't know whether I should invest in another monitor. Would I be able to complete all these lessons using ssh and VNC or do you advise that I would be better off with 2 monitors? The trouble is that if I have 2 monitors then I will need a bigger desk, and if I have a bigger desk then I will need a bigger house :-(
Just one other thing, the Window Border tab isn't there when I go into Theme & Appearance. I thought that maybe I had inadvertently wrecked some of the settings so I started again with a clean image but had the same thing happen. Do any of you guys have the same problem? And, if so, what did you do about it?
Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
I love how he took a sip of his coffee and incorporated it into the sponsor
Hi Paul. This is going to be a great series. Wondering if you will teach intel FPGAs for digital building blocks. That would be da bomb.
Hi Paul I’m Rajasekar from India. I really enjoyed learning Audrino and Computer Vision tutorial series. I’ll be happy if you could start a new series of lessons on IoT using audrino and python.
I love your lessons...could you please share what are your Raspberry Pi 4 technical specs, i.e. what's the size of RAM, etc...thanks. keep on the great work!
I have my Sunfounder Kit and a RPi 4 w 2GB RAM. I have been using RPis for a while, but I'm guilty of copying projects. One problem that causes is not understanding enough to fix things that don't work. I'm looking forward to be able to learn more so that I can do a better job of correcting that problem. I did notice that there is a newer Raspberry Pi OS and Imager released since you made the video.
Hello Paul, been watching your videos for past a year and I am almost finish with raspi lesson. just wanted to request or ask if you happen to have a Lesson how to connect the raspi USB port to a RS485 please?
Hi, thanks for your great initiative. Can I use Asus tinker board instead of rusbery pi 4?
Hi Paul nice series just starting it after the arduino one
I just have a small problem I followed the same steps you did while installing the os it boots and everything but I can't find some features that you have in yours the rasberry pi version is 4B with 2GB of ram it is given to me by my professor at university to do my bachelor project in engineering
any idea what might be the problem ? is it just a newer version of the os or what ?
Thanks in advance
Ha! That ice coffee took me back... I used to love coffee like that, but my taste buds changed, and now I only like unsweetened coconut milk in hot coffee.
Mediapipe should also work. Controlling a servo wirelessly with gestures would be pretty amazing. If you have a second pi, either one can be an accesspoint to enable this over wifi.
Ok, are we not going to talk about the ant walking across the board at 7:30? 😀
Thanks for an excelent lesson. I learned a lot about the Raspberry Pi desktop and how to configure it.
When we start to learn how to use the GPIO pins, I think you also should spend some time explaining the difference between 5 volt devices like Arduino Uno, and 3.3 volt devices like Raspberry Pi. Can some components/parts in the Elegoo starter kit for Arduino Uno be used with the Pi? And what about the other way around?
շատ շնորհակալություն
LOL There was an ant on your raspberry pi!!! HAHA 7:24
Good eye. I had to watch 3 times before I saw the ant.
That will come into play on future lectures about debugging.
I already have Bullseye on my RPI4. Will this work with your lessons as camera instructions have now changed.
System Tray: everything below the System Tray is right justified (I think). I like the Separator, because it puts a little gray line instead of the Spacer. (I think). Thanks for doing this lesson series.
Correct.
another paul mcwhorter tutorial series i shall now enjoy (Still need to finish your fusion 360 tutorial)
also the raspberry pi 2 should be fine right? the quality is shite but its enough though?
Kit is ordered! Even though I have a lot of these components, there were several I don't have and the kit is a good value for all the stuff you get. No way I could purchase the ones that I am missing individually for the same money. Looking forward to the course.
Yes, for me it seems over time parts in my old kit get lost, broken or messed up. I like getting a fresh new kit every once in a while. Seems I never have enough of the little jumper wires.
