Raspberry Pi Computing: Ultrasonic Distance Measurement: Measure, record and present distance using an ultrasonic distance sensor with a Raspberry Pi computer

Raspberry Pi Computing: Ultrasonic Distance Measurement aims to provide a full description of the process of setting up a Raspberry Pi computer to measure and record distances using an ultrasonic module. We’ll look at different versions of the Pi, along with loading and configuring the software required with some basic Linux use.

If you’ve heard about the Raspberry Pi you may know that it provides a fantastic method to learn about using a computer and to develop some skills that go beyond the basics.

What sort of things will you learn from the book?

What sort of versions of the Raspberry Pi are there?
What hardware do I need to get it up and going?
What sort of operating system do I need and how do we install it?
How do I do [Insert any number of cool things]?

Is this book for you?
It’s not written for experts. It’s put together as a guide to get you started if you’re unsure about how to make the first move with a Raspberry Pi.

I hope you get something out of the book, please excuse the sometimes light-hearted conversational manner in which I approach the topic and enjoy the Raspberry Pi!
