A package like this should contain almost anything he might need to prototype something. The only thing he could need later on if he wants to finalize a project would be a soldering iron, but that could be added later on.

If you're just looking for ideas, the MagPi back issues are a good place to start.

  • For RPi in general: Projects Books 1 & 2 and issues 50, 56, 49, 43, 36, 35
  • For the Zero: GPIO Zero Essentials special and issues 40, 42, 61.
  • Camera stuff: Camera Essentials and Issue 45
  • Google AIY: Issue 57
  • Home Automation: Issue 37
  • RPi as desktop: Issue 59
  • For coding in general: Issue 53
  • For Python coding: Make Games with Python special
  • If you’re looking for hardware project ideas, Hackaday has over 840.

    You can find quality starter kits with hardware prototyping goodies including breadboards, LEDs, resistors and capacitors and other electronic components from Adafruit and Canakit, but I haven't seen any that ship with a soldering iron. The starter kits are usually meant for the solderless breadboard. Beware cheap kits with crappy power adapters and microSD cards, as they'll cause a lot of frustration.

    Adafruit is a great resource for getting started. I'd recommend a good iron and soldering setup separately. Don't skimp on the iron, as the quality of your projects will depend on a good soldering job. By the same token, you don't need anything overly elaborate.

    You've chosen a great DIY hobby. You can built a wide range of hardware and software projects, and the price of components are dropping every day. Once you get familiar with the basics, you can pick up additional components cheaply online. A $20 shopping spree on some of the cheap Chinese online shops will keep your mailbox loaded up with goodies for weeks.

    This thread on the Adafruit forums has a good discussion of this very topic.

I got this kit about 2 months ago and it's great. The card has NOOBS on it and everything came that was needed to get going. I thought I would use it for RetroPi and other pre-built things, but then really starting learning a lot and having more fun than if I were playing games on it.

In retrospect, I wish I had upgraded a little at the time and got the Cana "Ultimate" Kit - with the breadboard, ribbon, and GPIO interface, as well as some little bits and pieces to fiddle with. I've since acquired those other pieces so I can play with LEDs, sensors, and other things. Had I had all that to start with, I would have been even happier.

I actually didn't tally up the cost as that wasn't really of a concern to me, but I'll try my best to provide links to the things I bought for this. Feel free to add it up for me!

You could get them one of the cana kits which has the pi and a bunch of other stuff depending on the level. You could also find a small pi project kit for something beginner level.

edit: Here is the ultimate kit. They do have cheaper kits available.

u/skywardkitten · 2 pointsr/raspberry_pi

It all depends on what your looking to do. If you just want to set up something like a media center, computer, or retro game station, all you need is a pi, a case, and some sort of input like a controller or Bluetooth keyboard. If this is your goal, then I'd buy separately. If you want to get into the fun stuff like home automation or wiring up all sorts of cool stuff, then I recommend spending an extra $30 and get a kit like https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C6Q4GLE/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1482887908&sr=8-11&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=raspberry+pi
Hope this helps!

I just purchased a CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3 Ultimate Starter Kit.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6Q4GLE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1




I am looking for a "getting started" book I can work together with my 14 year old daughter, but I don't see any book that make use of all the parts like GPIO, Ribbon Cable, Breadboard, Jumper Wires, LED, Resistors, Push Button Switches.

Can I get some recommendation on where to start?

u/RacerxCh · 2 pointsr/raspberry_pi

I agree with intrglctcrevnfk - the Canakits are great.

I bought the Ultimate, since I needed the GPIO breadboard and other electronics for my project.

A lot of the "value" they tack on is stuff you could do for free, they're just offering it up with their own tutorial videos. The complete Pi 3 Canakit is $75 on Amazon. If you want some extra stuff to play with they have an ultimate edition for $90. I got my complete canakit pi 2 for $65 on sale before the pi 3 was out.

Edit: to be fair it's not a terrible price considering they spent the time and money making the videos. The "lol" was more about their original price.

u/A_Literally_Penguin · 2 pointsr/raspberry_pi

If you search on Amazon for the raspberry pi there are a ton of kits that come with the OS on a microSD, a little getting started manual, and a bunch of random little parts to do some small projects with.

If you don't get a kit, I'd recommend getting the Pi 3 Model B (even if you do get a kit, get one with the rPi 3 B) and getting a blank 16gb microSD card that you can load the OS onto. Just search "raspberry pi os download" and the first result should be their official website where a bunch of different OS's are listed for free!

Here's a kit that I found that is a tad pricey but looks fairly comprehensive!

Hmm... I see that now. But I think you're right. Even at $90 now, I cannot imagine them lowering it much

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C6Q4GLE/

I saw this as a non-prime day lightning deal yesterday for $62, down from $70. Was tempting, but I didn't need most of the crap in it.

https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-Starter-Kit/dp/B01C6Q2GSY/

I ended up buying this one that seemed cheaper than buying the RP3 and power supply separately. $43 total.

Yep that is totally a big piece of shit. With that gift card get yerself one of these. It'll play all games 1080p 60fps easily.
