Frequently Asked Questions

Which Raspberry Pi model should I use?

Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB or 4GB) is recommended for best performance. Pi 3B+ also works well. Pi Zero W is great for simple projects but may struggle with complex tasks.

Do I need Linux experience?

Basic command line knowledge helps, but we cover all necessary Linux commands. You'll become comfortable with Linux as you progress through the course.

Can I use Raspberry Pi Zero?

Yes, but some projects may run slowly. We indicate which projects work well on Pi Zero and provide optimization tips for resource-constrained devices.
