Chapter 2. Getting Started – Setting Up Your Raspberry Pi and Arduino

This chapter aims to provide a quick overview on setting up the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. In order to use your Raspberry Pi, you need to start by installing an operating system on an SD card. Once this is in place, you can install extra software to write code.

Setting the up Arduino is much simpler. All you need is to download the IDE and plug the Arduino into your computer via a USB cable. We will start this chapter by walking through the Raspberry Pi setup.
