We are all over the globe!!
For those who doesn't know, Raspberry Pi is basically a small computer with okay and cheap price... It can't be used for things Modern PC does, but it's more powerful than many older computers and it can work many retro games
Since two three years ago and RPi is one of the things I dreamed to own. The ability to change operating system just by changing the SD card is amazing... And having a small computer with a small.
There are few things I wanted a Raspberry Pi for
- To have a reason to use/learn Linux (And how to manage A Small/Portable Computer).
- To Learn Tiny Development, especially Python and TIC-80 (Lua).
- To Test Things I Make, on A Low End Computer.
- To Try Portable Retro Gaming (Retropie)
Steemit Made This Possible
I bought the Raspberry Pi along with all its external add-ons with the money I earned from here. (Yaay)
As I said in one of my previous articles getting something to Libya from outside the country with money I earned from home is achievement!!
I'm also happy that I'm not the only one whose steemit account made this possible for them. Hopefully steemit will grow and we'll all grow with it.
Challenges
I had some of problems trying to work it on a 5' Inch Screen. Then enabling the Wi-fi (I used a hidden router and faced problems finding it). I also learned that you can't send files from windows to the SD card easily, and still haven't been able to do that yet...
But I'm good at googling, and by checking [Solved] posts all over the internet, I overcome some of the challenges, and hopefully I'll be able to rise my head as a Raspberry Pi Developer soon!!
This made me remember the joy of programming again, and this cliche that happened to all of us:
Me: "It doesn't work, I don't know why?"
Me *messing up with the setting a lot*
Me: "It works now... I don't know why?"
Well, that's it for now... If when I manage to get retropie running I might make another post. Made the tag #ahmadmangarpi just in case.
