- [Krazy Ken] The changes you have made
required Raspberry Pi to be rebooted.
Let's just do it, aw (beep), I hit no.
What?
No.
Now, I realized I might have
royally screwed up here.
Test your memory.
You know, I've been wanting
to play a memory game recently
'cause I'm wondering
how my memory's going.
Oh, shit, what?
(sonar beeping)
(typing)
(upbeat electronic music)
Hey, guys, how are you all doing?
Really?
That's just great.
You know, I'm doing
pretty great today, too,
because today is, sorry
about this calender.
(EXPLOSION!!!)
March 14th, that's Pi Day.
What better way to celebrate Pi Day
than with a box of raisins.
Actually, it does kind of look
like a raisin box, but no.
We're talking about a Raspberry Pi.
I have received countless
requests to do this on the show
and I've never seen a
Raspberry Pi in person,
so I thought, you know what?
You guys are great.
Let's finally do it.
But I didn't stop there.
Yes, we have the Model
B+ version, well, okay.
This is version 3 of the Model B+,
it's the B+ form factor.
But we also have a nifty little
case that we can put it in.
Of course, we can use it
pretty much in anything
because it's really small.
But if we need to take it on the go
or make it look pretty, we can do that.
And just for the sake of consistency,
I also bought the micro USB
power supply to go with it.
So, here's the game plan for today.
We're gonna unbox everything
and explore the hardware.
Again, I've never used this stuff before.
Then, potentially in a follow up episode,
we'll do something a little
more creative and advanced
with the system after
we have it set up today.
So, let's pop this raspberry cherry.
Oh, there's some things on the back.
There's some ancient hieroglyphs.
64 bit quad core ARM CPU
and some wireless stuff.
So, already, let's try opening it again.
It's, um.
Okay, so earlier, I swear
I saw an Open Here label
and I couldn't find it again.
There it is, in size minus one font.
It does say Open Here, so.
There, much easier when
you follow the directions,
'cause then it just unfolds like that.
Look at that.
Little pretty thing in there.
Let's have some fun.
Out you come.
Alright, so here is the
Raspberry Pi 3 B+ form factor.
Pretty much the size of a credit card.
Now, I realized I might
have royally screwed up here
because, oh, hang on a second.
Son of a bitch.
There is a micro SD card in here.
I was afraid that I
didn't get one. (laughs)
I was like, "Oops, I feel
like I forgot something.".
But then I look at the box, and it's like,
it has NOOBS on it, so
it must have an SD card.
Yes, it has a micro SD card
and a full sized SD card adaptor
with the awesome Raspberry Pi logo on it,
so we are safe and you can
fall over, I don't care.
We have micro USB there
for the power supply,
HDMI for a monitor.
I'm guessing that's eighth
inch mini for sound.
Oh, it kind of looks like that.
If you look out on your left,
you'll see four historic USB ports
preserved in all their
beauty and ethernet.
And right here, a nice little touch,
the Raspberry Pi logo is on there.
There's our Broadcom chip.
That's the board itself.
Where does the micro SD
go, I wonder? (laughs)
There it is, right on the bottom.
There's where the micro SD card goes.
Figured that out pretty quick.
And another Pi logo.
We're upside down right now,
so it kind of looks like
a vine of grape with weird shoes.
And don't throw it in the bin.
People will be mad at you.
We have the universal
power supply with all of
the fun electrical receptacle
faces around the world
and micro USB, micro USB B.
Well, let's bust it open.
Oh, everything is so white.
So, here's the power
brick with the logo on it.
I thought it looked pretty cool,
so I wanted to get one of
these just for brand's sake.
Of course, I mean, I already
have a micro USB cable,
but I wanted something prettier
and on point with the brand.
And if, for some reason, I
ever get out of this lair,
I could travel the world and plug in my Pi
into a plethora of
different outlet receptacles
around the globe.
(unwrapping packaging)
Actually, I might need one of those,
'cause I just realized the
one that is pre-installed
is not gonna work here in North America.
(laughs) So, we're gonna
have to change that.
Let's see, where?
There we go, that's our
North American power supply.
Let's swap that out.
Not power supply, I mean plug.
There we go, satisfying.
We're good to go.
Already, we need a monitor,
we need a keyboard,
a mouse, but I can take care of that.
And then later, like I showed,
we'll get it in the little Pi case.
I like the little color
scheme going on here,
the red and the white.
Pretty, makes me want a
milkshake or something, you know?
It's all fruity looking.
(sneezes) Oh, boy.
And boom, just like
that, we have a monitor.
So, right here, we'll set the Pi up
with HDMI coming out of
here and USB out the front
for other peripherals
and take a look at this.
We have some conversion
technology to run this monitor,
because it's DVI but the Pi has HDMI,
so we're gonna get it all dongled up.
There we are.
Conversion technology installed, Captain.
Micro USB power supply is next.
That sneeze hurt, by the way.
That really freaking hurt.
I'm a very powerful sneezer.
Okay, I knotted this one up big time.
I don't know how the frick
I managed to do that.
Power's plugged in
and there we have power on the Pi now.
Little red light.
Alright, so we have power and video.
Now, we need keyboard and mouse.
(thump) Oh, (beep)-ing A.
So, we have that light on.
I'm guessing it just
turns on automatically
but there's no medium in there
to boot off of, so that'll be next.
In retrospect, I probably should have
put the medium in first.
Probably would have been
the smart thing to do.
But no, ugh, there goes the cord.
Gonna have to go get that.
Just full of inconveniences.
Get the micro in there, there we go.
Monitor's on, thingamajig is in there.
I need power again.
I'm guessing this thing just
turns on by itself maybe.
Oh, we got a green
light, so we have video.
For recovery mode, hold Shift.
So, we're getting
somewhere, it's doing it.
We have four raspberries.
Name the price of these four raspberries
and they can be yours.
Hey, bone appetite.
We have the road to nowhere right here.
We have a panel, so we have a menu.
Programming, Office, Internet.
It looks like that is
our web browser there.
File System, Browser, File Manager.
Some sort of terminal.
Ooh, Mathematica's on here.
Oh, yeah, Wolfram
Mathematica for Raspberry Pi.
It's included.
I had no freaking idea.
Kind of makes sense,
though, 'cause these Pi's
are used a lot for programming.
No internet connection.
Performance wise, though, I mean
there's a little bit of tearing,
but we may not have a driver for that.
But it's smooth.
But then again, this looks like
a very lightweight
operating system right now,
so we have that going for us.
Raspberry Pi configuration to what?
Wait, set WiFi country on Localization tab
of Raspberry Pi
Configuration to enable WiFi.
Oh, alright, well.
Oh, Minecraft Pi is pre-installed.
Well, son of a bitch.
So, that was pretty automatic.
I mean, I guess it's a nice,
they make it easy, but damn.
I felt like I haven't
done anything. (laughs)
When I saw NOOBS on the package,
I was like, "Oh, that's the thing that
"already installs the operating system.",
so I'm guessing, yeah,
this is running Raspbian
and NOOBS is like, the
simple way to install that,
but this was already pre-configured
because it came with an SD card.
Well, I guess, since we're
already up and running,
let's configure shit.
We need to get this on the internet first.
That would be nice.
United States and OK.
The changes you have made required
Raspberry Pi to be rebooted.
Let's just do it.
Aw, (beep) I hit no, what?
No, asshole.
Why did I click No, I wanted to hit Yes.
I am out of my mind.
WiFi country, yep, OK.
Alright, I guess we'll
just reboot manually.
No big deal, reboot.
Colors.
That's probably some sort
of diagnostic screen,
if I had to guess.
A raspberry.
Four raspberries. (laughs like The Count)
Ugh, I can't do my impressions today.
I am really lacking my normal energy.
Hm, maybe I'm allergic to raspberries.
Scanning.
Hey, check it out.
We have a number five
there, I don't know why.
Hit OK.
Oh, it's doing stuff, we have animation.
That usually means something is happening.
It's blue.
It's got a green checkmark,
that's usually a good sign.
Let's go to the internet.
We have Claus Mail, The MagPi.
Huh, a magazine, alright.
VNC Viewer Suite and
Chromium for the web browser.
Well, let's see if this works.
If it does, great, because
that was way easier
than trying to get the
internet to work on Solus.
That was a bitch.
This was just like, click,
click, reboot, done.
It just worked.
So, quickly, let's just
go to no thanks, bitch.
Excuse me.
Thecomputerclan.com.
Bone apetit, the WiFi worked
on the first gosh darned try.
Was that so hard? (laughs)
Oh, that's a little out of date.
So, yeah, that was easy.
That was way easier than trying
to get it to work on Solus, holy crap.
Hey, there's me right there.
This is a kind of meta experience.
Pretty sweet.
The internet is up and running.
Let's take a look at, oh my gosh.
Dude, I'm not a programmer,
so I don't even know
if I can touch this section of the menu
'cause I really don't know what I'm doing.
Maybe some other time.
Let's just take a look
at some settings quick.
Let's configure this.
Picture road.jpg.
Okay, what other things do we got?
Well, it's a list, so I
don't actually get previews
of what the pictures
are, but we can guess.
A mountain probably has a mountain in it.
That's a pretty good deduction.
Oh, we can show Documents.
We can show the Wastebasket.
Mounted Discs.
Cliff, a fjord.
Not a Chevy, but a, that
was a dad joke wasn't it?
I'm sorry.
There's some trees there, not too shabby.
Let's get our own photograph on here,
which I'm actually going to get from
the Computer Clan wallpaper gallery
with photos that Brainiac
Brent and I have shot.
Pretty cool stuff.
You can actually download
them, too, if you want.
Gonna go to the website, hit More.
Wallpapers.
Let's see, what will look good?
Some grass, let's do the grass.
Go to our Downloads folder,
move that into the Pictures.
I'm guessing we can just
like, right-click maybe.
No, probably not, okay.
So, let's go Desktop Preferences, Picture.
Can we just drag this in here?
Look at that, frickin' love it.
Menu Bar, let's see, Color.
Let's make that maybe one of our
Computer Clan accent colors.
Let's do not necessarily accent colors,
but just one of our brand colors.
It would be 4860AC.
Boom, there we go and then
we'll need to make this white
so it doesn't look like crap.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. (pops)
There we go.
That actually looks
pretty shitty. (laughs)
Those colors do not work well
with the background I put on here.
That just looks like shit.
Ah, maybe we'll just go black.
Once you go black, man.
That looks (beep)-ing awesome.
Let's just go black.
You know, actually, hang on.
We have a dark shade of
gray in our brand board.
Let's just do like a
really, really dark gray.
Yeah, that's it right there.
Neutrals, man.
Alright, guys, that is that.
So, one request.
Well, there's quite a
few things I could do
in the follow up episode to this later,
but for now, since Minecraft
Pi edition is already on here,
Fun with Blocks, let's
see how well this runs
on this credit card sized computer.
I have not booted up Minecraft in forever.
Oh, Pi Edition .1.1 alpha.
That gives me confidence.
Oh, you don't even need to log in.
It's just its own thing.
Well, that's great. (laughs)
Let's have it randomly build the terrain
and see how this goes.
I feel super good about this. (laughs)
Shit, we're actually
getting a decent frame rate.
That is pretty awesome.
Oh my gosh, I haven't played this game
in like, a thousand years.
Shit.
I don't even really
remember how to do anything.
Oh, hang on, we got something.
E, okay.
Here's a question, can we output sound?
Oh, probably not through this monitor
'cause there's no speakers or HDMI
and we are converting to DVI.
So, we don't have any
speakers hooked up right now,
so we'll just have to
add in the sound effects.
(mimics walking)
(mimics tapping)
(mimics walking)
(mimics stepping in snow)
(whooshes)
(beep) That was a bad idea.
I have to dig my way out now.
Yep, it is in Creative
Mode, that explains why
we had an infinite inventory.
But yeah, even in full
screen mode, check this out.
Virtually full resolution
of this entire monitor
on this tiny little credit card
Raspberry Pi tiny computer.
Frame rate's pretty darn good.
That's gotta be like, 60.
That's gotta be like a perfect 60.
My cursor is moving inside of here,
but when I get to here, it goes away.
It just kind of gives me
my normal system cursor.
The game cursor just kind
of sticks right there.
Well, that makes
everything very difficult.
It's probably because
I maximized the window.
Oh, this will be fun.
Let's just have some
fun with some dynamite.
Or TNT, more specifically.
What, you're not gonna light up?
I thought this shit lit up dynamite.
Maybe it's not programmed to explode.
So, now that we have a basic
configuration going here,
let's shut this boy down
and get it in the case
to make it look pretty
and keep it protected.
So, we're gonna shut down for now.
Bye bye and let's put it in a case.
Sssshhhhunk.
Here we go, let's take this apart.
There are instructions that came with it.
You know, there's probably instructions
that came with all this stuff.
I don't know, I'm just
not a fan of reading them.
I'm a fan of screwing up and
figuring it out by myself.
That's probably not a good lesson,
but not every lesson
you learn is a good one.
Boy, there's a lot of languages in there.
Let's look at this one.
Dismantle.
It looks like it's just all snap
and then you put the feet in there.
Which sounds like they're
already in the case,
so let's just take it apart.
There we go.
Just like LEGOs.
Just like some simple LEGOs.
You can easily make a LEGO
case for this computer.
I'm sure a billion people already have.
There we go.
And then there's the little rubber feet.
Let's get that in there.
Put this back end in first with the card
and then just push it
down like that, perfecto.
Little holes for the lights.
Yep, there's a power
light like we saw earlier
and a little yellow light for
when the card is being accessed.
Put the top piece on.
I'm don't know, that looks pretty cool
just by itself right there,
but let's get some white on
there, 'cause white is cool.
Line it up with ports.
I was trying to show you and
I totally screwed that up.
Snap it on the side there, piece of cake.
Pretty simple and then.
It's cool that they got
the logo on the inside.
So, if you just use it like this,
you can still see the logo,
but they also have the logo on top here
and you just fit that bad
boy on and there you go.
You have a pocket sized ARM computer.
Right now, with Raspbian on it.
I'm sure we can put other
operating system on there, too,
but, you know, this is
gonna be the out of the box
optimized solution, I would imagine.
But rubber time.
Let's get the feet taken off.
Just kind of peeling them
out of the plastic there
and just very delicately
insert them like that.
They're like those old little candies.
I forgot what they're
called, but you know.
Those little candies you peeled
off the paper and ate 'em.
I'm blanking on the name of them.
They're probably called different things
in different parts of the world.
And there we go.
And that is really fricking lightweight.
We have our ports, USB and ethernet,
then HDMI, power, sound.
Oh, hang on, we got a
little camera icon here.
This might have some sort
of video capability as well.
Hmm, yeah, that looks like a camera icon.
I should probably look into that.
Then our convenient slot for our card
and our power and activity light.
♪ It's Pi Day, Pi Day,
gotta get down on Pi Day. ♪
I just reignited all of your
Rebecca Black nightmares, didn't I?
Good times.
Oh, let's see.
♪ She wore a raspberry barret. ♪
Now that's gonna be
stuck in your head, too.
There's too many songs that
work with the Raspberry Pi.
Well, enjoy those being
stuck in your head.
I mean, they're stuck in my head, too.
It's a lose/lose.
Let's plug everything back in.
So, we have USB, that's in there.
HDMI and then power
fell to the floor again
'cause power is a lazy
slothful pile of shit.
Sleeping on the job again, eh, micro USB?
Aw, this cord is like, really springy.
(tape rips)
Well, we have ways of
making you less springy.
Say hello to my friend, gaffer tape.
I'm just gonna tape you in
place and you ain't gonna budge.
There ya go, that'll teach ya.
Alright, let's power it back on.
There's our little lights on there.
Alright, we're back in action.
Let's take a look, Programming.
Node-RED, clever name, Sonic Pi.
Scratch 2, I remember Scratch.
I never used it but I
vaguely remember a fan
way back, way back in
like, maybe, I don't know,
the super early days of the
Computer Clan, probably '09.
They made a goofy Computer
Clan Scratch game.
I remember seeing these
all over the internet.
I say back in the day.
It was really only like, 10 years ago.
But in terms of the world wide web's like,
relative life, that was a long time ago.
So, I'll tell you what, I
definitely don't know much
about programming or how
to make stuff in Python,
but the lovely devs have already put
some Python stuff on here.
Python games, let's have a look.
Ooh, Flippy.
It's like Reversi.
Steve Palmer would be proud.
Ooh, okay, a Tetris-like
game, that we can do.
Tetromino, press a key.
Alright, oh no, wait.
I just made it go down faster.
Oh, that's how you make it go down faster.
Okay, let's abort that.
Now that I know the
actual buttons to press,
let's do it for realsies.
But see, if I suck at
something, I at least admit it.
I didn't mean to do that.
(beep) No, you asshole.
A Snake-like game?
This, I can do.
Wormy, it must have eaten Wormy.
How many Sponge Bob references
are we gonna get in this episode today?
Oh, my gosh.
He must've eaten Wormy.
Holy shit, that's fast.
Yeah, okay. (stutters)
Wow, I don't remember it being like,
this fast out of the gate,
but let's have some fun.
Let's see how far we can get.
Well, that was horrible.
Well, this is kind of like, oh.
Remember I was talking
about Nuggets earlier
on the iMac G3 episode?
Yeah, this is kind of like that
but, you know, way harder. (laughs)
I mean, clearly Nuggets was
based on Snake to begin with.
Eat the smaller squirrels?
Oh, that doesn't sound nice.
Test your memory.
You know, I've been wanting
to play a memory game recently
'cause I'm wondering
how my memory's going.
Oh, shit, what?
Okay, um, I saw that.
Good heavens.
Let's do it for real.
Alright, this was nearby.
There we go.
This green one, oh, I
don't remember seeing that.
Okay, this red one.
Oh, no, that's pink, not red, shoot.
Well, we got two.
Oh, that was just lucky.
That was just lucky right there. (laughs)
Cool, fun for the whole family.
Alright, guys, so here's the deal.
We're just getting started.
We now have this Pi.
What do we do with it?
I've received some awesome
suggestions from my patrons,
because I let them see my future
plans coming up in advance,
so they were able to give me some input.
But now that this is
public, I want your input.
What are some other projects
I could possibly test out with this Pi?
A Plex server, something I've
received as a suggestion.
Game emulation, maybe
some retro game emulation
like what I used to do with MAME.
I would love to do that
kind of stuff on this Pi.
That would be fun.
But the thing that really stands out to me
is a lot of people do vintage
operating system emulation.
So personally, I think my next
project with the Raspberry Pi
will be emulating the Commodore Amiga.
That would be fun.
But again, I want your suggestions, too.
So, more to come with the Pi.
Thanks for sticking with me.
Catch the crazy and pass it on.
(upbeat electronic music)
