I'd love to follow along, but I don't see a parts list to get the matching parts.

I'd love to follow along, but I don't see a parts list to get the matching parts.
- woodrowbarlow 9y agoAssignment zero lists the following parts: 1 Raspberry Pi 3 (Model B) 1 1⁄2-sized breadboard 1 4GiB microSD card 1 microSD card USB adapter 1 CP2102 USB TTL adapter w/4 jumper cables 10 multicolored LEDs 4 100 ohm resistors 4 1k ohm resistors 10 male-male DuPont jumper cables 10 female-male DuPont jumper cables
- g051051 9y agoYes, I saw that, but it'd be nice to get the exact same components if possible. It'd be even nicer if the same pack the students got was available from their source.
- freehunter 9y agoWhat do you mean by exact same components? Cables are pretty much cables, LEDs are LEDs, resistors are resistors, and a Raspberry Pi is a Raspberry Pi. Other than the Pi, brand names don't really matter too much in this space.
- g051051 9y agoI'm haven't done any electronics stuff before, so I didn't know that.
- planteen 9y agoThat list is a bit under-specified for an absolute newbie to electronics. A link to Digikey or Mouser would be helpful. A resistor just isn't a resistor, for example. I imagine they really mean a 1/4 watt 5% tolerance thru-hole resistor for use on the breadboard, for example. Someone who orders a surface mount 0402 1k resistor is in for trouble...
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoOh hey, so it's actually a course in operating systems combined with embedded programming? That's really neat!
- HankB99 9y agoI'm not sure I'd consider a system running full blown Linux with self hosted development tools, graphical environment and so on to be a typical embedded system. Edit: I suppose they may not be running Linux on the Pi, certainly not the graphical variants on a 4GB card.
- figgis 9y agoNot sure where you are getting that info... but xfce is just above 2gb. You could easily run a graphical desktop on that.
