Raspberry Pi Guides, Projects and Hardware Help

This hub collects Artoo Maker Lab's Raspberry Pi coverage, from picking a board to finishing a working build. It is written for makers moving up from Arduino, robot builders who need a small Linux computer on board, and anyone with a Pi sitting unused in a drawer.

What you'll find here

Choosing the right model

Plain comparisons of the Raspberry Pi lineup, including the Pi 5, the Zero boards and older models, show which one suits your project, power budget and enclosure.

Setup and Raspberry Pi OS

Step-by-step help covers flashing a microSD card, first boot, headless SSH access, and keeping Raspberry Pi OS or an alternative distribution running smoothly.

Raspberry Pi projects

Hands-on builds range from home servers and retro gaming consoles to sensor loggers and robot controllers, with wiring notes and the code to make each one work.

Pico boards and HATs

Practical guides explain how the Pico microcontroller family differs from full Pi boards and how to use HATs and add-on boards for motors, displays and sensors.
