1. Workshop on Raspberry Pi 3
Indraneel Mukhopadhyay
Skill Level: Beginner Dates: 11th January, Time: 2:00pm to 5:30pm

2. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

3. The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse.
Little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python.
It’s capable of doing everything a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high- definition video, to making spreadsheets, word- processing, and playing games.
What is Raspberry Pi

4. The Raspberry Pi  has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations etc
Raspberry Pi hails from the United Kingdom. Inventor Eben Upton and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge’s Computer Laboratory. Raspberry Pi was designed to be a cheap, hackable computer for improving tinkering skills. The first shipment of Pis became available in April 2012.

9. How to load OS into Memory Card
Loading OS into memory card
Memory card will be used as Hard disk for Booting Operating System. We Use Win 32 Disk imager to burn Raspbian OS into the SD-Card.

10. Software Required to work with Raspberry Pi3
The preferred Operating System is Windows with Network Adapter i.e. RJ45 port
The software's that are required to be installed are as follows:
Putty (
VNC for Windows (
Win32 Disk Imager (
Raspbian Operating System (
Software Required to work with Raspberry Pi3

11. RaspberryPi Login & Password
Plug the booted SD-Card into the Raspberry-Pi SD- Card slot and attach the Pi with a HDMI supported screen.
Login and Password is needed
For Raspbian OS
Login : pi
Password : raspberry

12. When you don’t have any screen available with you
No keyboard or screen available for your Raspberry Pi, but you have a laptop?
When a HDMI monitor is not available in those circumstances it can be very useful to remote connect using a nearby network and a laptop.
So how can we make use of a laptop screen and keyboard when there is no network?
There is also a option of using a (console) TTL-serial cable, but it provides rather slow access. The serial connection won’t support X11, and you won’t be able use VNC or shared folders if you have them setup.

13. Software needed to configure Pi to be used from Laptop
Putty (Using SSH connection)
Putty is used to redirect the IP of Raspberry to the laptop.
Putty is used to redirect the keyboard and mouse of laptop to control the Raspberry mouse pointer.
VNC Client (Real VNC, Ultra VNC)
VNC client is used to project the Raspberry desktop in the laptop screen .

14. Graphical Representa-tion

15. Network Connection Configuration Check Required (Check Once) (1 of 4) Click on Ethernet tab

16. Network Connection Configuration Check Required (Check Once) (2 of 4) Click on Change Adapter Options

17. Network Connection Configuration Check Required (Check Once) (3 of 4)
Click on Ethernet 2 Properties
Then click on TCP/IPv4 properties.

18. Network Connection Configuration Check Required (Check Once) (4 of 4) The Settings page should look like this.

19. Raspberry Pi Settings IMPORTANT
Setting the Raspberry Pi’s IP address
Ensure the Raspberry Pi is powered off, and remove the SD-Card.
Insert the SD-Card into a card reader and plug it into your laptop.
Find the drive and you should find several files on the Card (note it a lot smaller than you’d expect since it is only the boot section of the Card (the rest is hidden)).
Make a copy of cmdline.txt and rename it to cmdline.normal
Raspberry Pi Settings IMPORTANT

20. Raspberry Pi Settings IMPORTANT
Setting the Raspberry Pi’s IP address
Edit cmdline.txt and add the IP address at the end (be sure you don’t add any extra lines).
For network settings where the IP address is obtained automatically, use an address in the range X.X ( – ):
Ensure you take note of this IP address (you will need it every time you want to directly connect to the Raspberry Pi).
Raspberry Pi Settings IMPORTANT

21. Raspberry Pi Settings IMPORTANT
In case you are not sure of the IP address – Please follow the steps: 1. Please connect the Raspberry Pi with the Laptop via the RJ45 2. In command prompt type: ipconfig 3. Note down Ethernet IPv4 address 4. To the Raspberry Pi assign an IP address in the same class as on our computer. For example is your computer IP = then give your Raspberry Pi IP address =

22. How to Configure Putty How to configure Putty
Install and run a X-Windows server on your computer
Ensure your SSH program (Putty) has X-11 enabled.
Enter the Raspberry Pi’s IP Address

25. The first screen of Raspberry Pi after login.

26. When the Raspberry boots for the first time – use raspi-config command to configure it

27. How to setup the Pi internet connectivity for the First Time.
To get internet for the first time. Attach your Mobile in USB Tethering Mode and get connected to the internet for the first time.
After the internet connection has been established download the following software.
Install VNC Server in the raspberry pi terminal
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
After the software has been installed you do not require the USB tethering as Raspberry Pi3 comes with Wi-Fi support and you are good to go.
