Ebook: Exploring the Raspberry Pi 2 with C++

This book takes you on a tour of the Pi 2 hardware and all of the fantastic things that you can do to create innovative and useful projects with your Pi. Start with creating a workstation that does actual work, and move into installing a custom kernel, creating a clock, learning the ins and outs of the GPIO interface, and pick up some useful C++ skills along the way. You will learn: how to create an experimenter's workstation for the Pi 2, complete with breadboard and Arduino; details of GPIO, including a custom command for working with it; useful projects like a general purpose clock and the PiSpy; quick intro to C++ for the Pi; how to make a multi-core webserver. --;Chapter 1: Introduction to Pi 2 -- Chapter 2: Workstation -- Chapter 3: The Matrix -- Chapter 4: Installing a Kernel -- Chapter 5: GPIO gp Command -- Chapter 6: General Purpose Clock -- Chapter 7: Pulse Width Modulation -- Chapter 8: Physics of the GPIO Interface -- Chapter 9: PiSpy -- Chapter 10: Debouncing -- Chapter 11: Fast Track to C++ -- Chapter 12: Multi-core Webserver -- Appendix A: GPIO Class, Part I -- Appendix B: GPIO Class, Part II -- Appendix C: GPIO Class, Part III -- Appendix D: MAX7219 Class -- Appendix E: Matrix Class -- Appendix F: MTop and Diskstat -- Appendix G: The Rest.
