Pi Day: Programming with Raspberry Pi

In honor of Pi Day today, let's check out some Pi-related tutorials so you can get started in programming!

Single Board Computers

Over the past year, SparkFun has released a variety of kits to get started using Raspberry Pi's single board, low cost, high performance computer depending on your needs and what you have available! Each kit offers a Pi 4 with your choice of RAM size. Have a Raspberry Pi already? We also have kits without a Pi as well.

Basic Kit	Desktop Kit	Hardware Starter Kit

For more information on what is included in each kit and how to connect to your Raspberry Pi 4, check out our tutorial on the Raspberry Pi 4 Hookup Guide.
