Foolproof Projects

Work First Time

Beginner to Intermediate


This website aims to provide foolproof tutorials for electronics projects, primarily using the Raspberry Pi and some other micro controller boards. The Raspberry Pi projects will further your knowledge about software, hardware and even a bit of problem solving. Some you can even use on a daily basis such as the local web server project made from only the Raspberry Pi!

During my work with electronics, I've found it hard to find concise tutorials that work first time. The problem with many tutorials is that the creator has had different configurations of the OS or other variations in version.

Since this project is aimed at Beginner to intermediate standard of knowledge, everyone can use the site. Also, each tutorial will be compatible with all of the other tutorials allowing for stumble upon minimal problems.

Some independent circuits may be uploaded that have simple yet useful designs.

Getting Started


Getting up and running with your Raspberry Pi is easy. You'll need a monitor with a HDMI interface, a keyboard, mouse and a Micro SD card loaded with software to run the Pi. I recommend downloading NOOBS, its easy and relatively quick to setup.The Raspberry Pi website has a great tutorial on how to set this all up. Once you have done this, all the projects on this website can be created.

Coding in Python 2


To use the GPIO pins, python is the best way to do so as it is a common programming language and relatively easy to pick up. All my tutorial use python2 and have internal some internal commentary to help you to understand the code. Programs don't have to interface with the GPIO pins. The could run a series of commands in the Linux Terminal or have a program to calculate something based on inputs.
