Taste of Raspberry Pi

Image
Days ago i got play with Raspberry Pi-2 Model B. It was really awsome to play with it. What attract me is the terminderious power it has regardless of being so tiny on size. I had chance to try different Raspberry Pi OS with it. Raspbian   is the recomended OS by raspberrypi.org. Few strength of raspbian is - easy access to GPIO pin. a mere echo and cat could control the voltage in and out of the pins - ssh server by default - ip can be set on /boot/cmdline.txt . Hence no dispaly is required to access it - give ip added on /boot/cmdline.txt - give static ip to your machine on the same range of ip assigned to raspi - ssh to raspi using default account " pi " with password " raspberry " I can access the GPIO pin easily. With as simple shell script and my DIY hardware, i successed to seven segment display using 7 LEDs.  Similary using LDR's, it could be used to count the people/object passing by.  But one problem i faced with Raspeian is that i can't successe...
