Prerequisites


The following items are used throughout this chapter and will be needed to complete the project:

  • Raspberry Pi 2 Model B: This is the latest addition to the Raspberry Pi family. It has replaced the previous Pi 1 Model B+. The previous model should work fine for the purpose of the projects covered in this book.

  • MicroSD card: The Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends using an 8 GB class 6 microSD card.

  • Android device: The device should have at least a 1.5 or higher Android version, which is required by the app used in this chapter. In some of the exciting projects that follow, we will need Android 4.3 or later versions.

  • HDMI cable: This will be used to connect the Pi to a screen for initial set up.

  • Ethernet cable: This will be used for network connections.

  • Computer: This will be used to copy the Raspbian OS on to the microSD card.

  • USB mouse: This will be used during initial setup.
