Simon Monk @simonmonk2 is a full-time author who focuses his writing talents on open source hardware topics. He is currently writing the Raspberry Pi Cookbook which will be available in early release in July and in final release in the fall. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Simon and we talked about one of the coolest things in open source hardware today, the Raspberry Pi.
Key highlights include:
- Invest in a Raspberry Pi starter kit [Discussed at 0:29]
- Python is probably the best bet for beginners [Discussed at 1:25]
- Raspberry Pi and Arduino are both great but really excel in different ways [Discussed at 3:54]
- How about when Raspberry Pi and Arduino are used together? [Discussed at 5:14]
- Save time and avoid common mistakes like hardware compatibility issues [Discussed at 7:23]
- Overclocking helps performance [Discussed at 8:47]
