00:00.110 --> 00:05.030
Here is the list of materials you will need if you want to complete 100% of this course.

00:05.030 --> 00:11.330
You can also download a PDF containing all the information as an additional resource to this video.

00:11.330 --> 00:14.720
So first of course you will need a Raspberry Pi board.

00:14.750 --> 00:17.750
Now which Raspberry Pi board should you use for this course?

00:17.750 --> 00:23.090
I have good news for you, even if this course is targeted towards the Raspberry Pi five, while in

00:23.090 --> 00:28.970
fact you can also use Raspberry Pi four three and the two versions, everything will be the same.

00:28.970 --> 00:35.240
Also, no need to worry about the additional letters in the Raspberry Pi version such as B, B+, etc.

00:35.270 --> 00:41.090
everything will work so you can use the Raspberry Pi operating system on all those boards, and the

00:41.090 --> 00:43.580
Gpio panel is also identical.

00:43.580 --> 00:48.560
So if you have a Raspberry Pi four, for example, don't worry because this course will work for you

00:48.560 --> 00:51.200
as well, only for the Raspberry Pi two.

00:51.230 --> 00:57.080
You will need a USB WiFi dongle because Wi-Fi was not already integrated on the board.

00:57.080 --> 01:02.090
And if you get the Raspberry Pi five and also Raspberry Pi four, you will be able to choose different

01:02.090 --> 01:07.230
configurations for the Ram two, four, or eight gigabytes, the more the better.

01:07.230 --> 01:09.330
But of course, it becomes more expensive.

01:09.360 --> 01:11.130
Two gigabytes is fine.

01:11.130 --> 01:16.650
I personally use the four gigabyte version for this course, and it works great for all my projects.

01:16.680 --> 01:22.470
Unless you plan on executing high demanding programs, eight gigabytes is something you probably don't

01:22.470 --> 01:23.310
need right now.

01:23.310 --> 01:25.800
Then you need a power supply for your pipe.

01:25.830 --> 01:30.330
If you buy your Raspberry Pi inside a kit, you should already have one.

01:30.330 --> 01:32.580
If not, then you will need to get one.

01:32.580 --> 01:38.040
As each version of the Raspberry Pi requires more and more power, I would recommend just getting the

01:38.040 --> 01:40.770
official power supply for Raspberry Pi five.

01:40.800 --> 01:45.330
The voltage is 5.1V and it delivers five amps.

01:45.330 --> 01:51.480
You could also try to use a phone charger with a similar power and see if it works well or not.

01:51.480 --> 01:57.120
But one thing you should definitely avoid doing is to power on your Raspberry Pi directly from your

01:57.120 --> 01:57.660
computer.

01:57.660 --> 02:03.180
With a USB cable, you will see the LED on the Raspberry Pi, but the current won't be enough for the

02:03.180 --> 02:06.780
board to run well, and you can expect all sorts of issues.

02:06.780 --> 02:13.020
So either use a power supply specifically designed for Raspberry Pi, or use a very good phone charger

02:13.020 --> 02:15.780
with at least five volts and three amp.

02:15.780 --> 02:19.410
If the phone charger is not enough, you will need to get another power supply.

02:19.440 --> 02:25.410
Now, the third and final part you need, if you just want to run your Raspberry Pi solo, is a microSD

02:25.410 --> 02:25.830
card.

02:25.830 --> 02:31.650
When choosing which microSD card you want to use, there are two important factors the class of the

02:31.650 --> 02:33.900
SD card and the storage capacity.

02:33.930 --> 02:39.240
First, make sure that you get a card with class ten and not lower than that.

02:39.240 --> 02:41.550
The class ten symbol should look like this.

02:41.730 --> 02:43.620
It's a ten inside a circle.

02:43.620 --> 02:48.270
If you have a card with less than ten, it will probably be too slow for your Pi.

02:48.300 --> 02:51.780
Some of the new SD cards are even more powerful and fast.

02:51.780 --> 02:54.900
For example, this Extreme Pro microSD card.

02:54.900 --> 02:59.010
And here you can see we have a number three inside a U shape.

02:59.010 --> 03:04.380
I won't go into much details about that, but if you see that symbol, that's also very good option.

03:04.380 --> 03:11.580
Now about the storage capacity of the SD card, I recommend you to get at least 16GB of storage so you

03:11.580 --> 03:16.410
can install the operating system and have some room for extra files or programs.

03:16.410 --> 03:18.150
And why not 32GB?

03:18.150 --> 03:21.780
If you know that, you will have to store bigger files on your Raspberry Pi.

03:21.810 --> 03:27.660
So with the Raspberry Pi, the power supply, and the microSD card, you can already install the Raspberry

03:27.660 --> 03:29.070
Pi operating system.

03:29.070 --> 03:34.200
You can learn Python and follow most of the course if you want to get everything I have listed so far

03:34.200 --> 03:38.430
in one kit, you can buy what's called a Raspberry Pi Starter kit.

03:38.460 --> 03:40.530
There are all sorts of starter kits.

03:40.530 --> 03:46.230
For example, here is the one I'm using which includes a Raspberry Pi five, the official power supply,

03:46.260 --> 03:50.100
a micro SD card, and even a case plus additional cables.

03:50.130 --> 03:56.100
Now, if you also want to be able to create the hardware circuits and do the activities related to Gpio,

03:56.250 --> 04:03.000
you will also need the following a breadboard a set of wires that can connect to the breadboard, and

04:03.000 --> 04:04.260
the Raspberry Pi's Gpio.

04:04.560 --> 04:10.650
You will need male to female wires, male to male wires, and also female to female wires.

04:10.680 --> 04:12.510
A set of resistors.

04:12.510 --> 04:17.860
We will use one kilo ohm resistors in this course, but if you don't have those, you can also get 330

04:17.860 --> 04:20.980
or 470 ohm resistors.

04:20.980 --> 04:23.410
I will give more details about that during the course.

04:23.530 --> 04:28.840
Usually the best thing to do with resistors is just to get a complete set with many different values,

04:28.840 --> 04:30.250
as it's quite cheap.

04:30.250 --> 04:33.460
Then you will need three LEDs with the color that you want.

04:33.490 --> 04:39.640
It doesn't really matter and a pushbutton with four legs like this one for all those components.

04:39.640 --> 04:43.360
So the breadboard, the wires, the resistors, LEDs and push button.

04:43.360 --> 04:47.020
Usually you can easily find kits that contain everything.

04:47.020 --> 04:50.530
For example you can search for breadboard kits on the internet.

04:50.530 --> 04:57.190
Also, if you maybe have already worked with Arduino and have an Arduino kit, you will get all those

04:57.190 --> 04:58.300
components in it.

04:58.300 --> 05:01.960
So with that you can do almost all sections in this course.

05:01.990 --> 05:08.590
Now for two sections at the end and for the final project, you will also need a Pir sensor which is

05:08.590 --> 05:10.450
a passive infrared sensor.

05:10.480 --> 05:12.190
Here is the reference number.

05:12.190 --> 05:14.350
I suggest you buy a set of 2 or 3.

05:14.350 --> 05:16.180
Usually it's almost the same price.

05:16.180 --> 05:22.120
Whether you buy 1 or 3, it will be especially useful to have more than one if you buy the cheap ones,

05:22.390 --> 05:27.420
where there is a higher chance of getting a sensor that doesn't work properly and you will need the

05:27.420 --> 05:28.680
Raspberry Pi camera.

05:28.710 --> 05:31.110
Note that you have two models for the camera.

05:31.140 --> 05:36.240
The standard one with a green board and the newer version with a black board.

05:36.450 --> 05:42.210
The black version is perfect for working in the dark, but won't produce good looking pictures in daylight

05:42.210 --> 05:44.370
compared to the standard green version.

05:44.370 --> 05:49.050
So for this course I will be using the standard one, and this is the one I recommend.

05:49.050 --> 05:54.780
If you are getting started and you don't have a specific project that requires you to work in the dark.

05:54.810 --> 05:59.340
Also, there are a few versions named v1, v2, and v3.

05:59.370 --> 06:05.340
Of course the later the better, but all versions will work the same, so don't worry if you already

06:05.340 --> 06:08.460
have an older Raspberry Pi camera, you can keep that one.

06:08.460 --> 06:14.100
And finally, if you have a Raspberry Pi five, you will probably also need a cable adaptor for that

06:14.100 --> 06:20.160
camera, as the port on the board is slightly smaller and I will give more details about that on the

06:20.160 --> 06:21.330
camera section.

06:21.330 --> 06:23.340
Well, that's it for the list of parts.

06:23.370 --> 06:28.740
Now, if you already have a Raspberry Pi, you can start the course right now while waiting for the

06:28.740 --> 06:30.210
other parts to arrive.
