SparkFun Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Part 1: Introduction

In this 3 part series SparkFun engineer Shawn breaks covers everything you need to know to get started with the Raspberry Pi! In this episode, Shawn shows how to get your Pi up and running, loading the operating system onto the Pi, and how to blink a simple led circuit.

The Raspberry Pi has made quite a splash since it was first announced. The credit-card sized computer is capable of many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. It can run several flavors of Linux and is being used to teach kids all over the world how to program… Oh yeah, and it does all that for under $50.
