Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE09792:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Everything you need to go from first boot to your first working project, in one full-colour, step-by-step book written by the people who make [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi.html). The 6th edition of Gareth Halfacree's official guide has been rewritten for today's hardware and software. That includes the [Raspberry Pi 500+](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-500plus-official-complete-kit.html) and Raspberry Pi OS Trixie, so all of the screenshots and setup steps match what's on your bench. It assumes no prior knowledge. You start with a tour of the hardware, then write your first programs in Scratch and Python, then move on to hands-on electronics: buttons, LEDs, sensors, and a camera. It works whether you have a standard Raspberry Pi board, a compact [Raspberry Pi Zero](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/boards.html#category_1395) or a keyboard computer like the Raspberry Pi 500+. Every code example is available to download from Raspberry Pi Press's GitHub repository, so you can check your work or skip the typing and go straight to experimenting. ### What's Covered? - Get up and running without guesswork. Clear chapters walk you through setting up your Raspberry Pi, preparing it for first boot, finding your way around the desktop and installing software, including the games from *Code the Classics*. - Learn to code visually first, then for real. Scratch 3 teaches the core ideas with drag-and-drop blocks before Python turns them into text-based programs. - Take your first steps into physical computing. Wire up push buttons and LEDs, and write code that responds to the world around you. - Shoot photos from code. A dedicated chapter covers connecting and programming [a Raspberry Pi Camera Module](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/camera.html). - Move into microcontrollers. The final chapter builds on your Python skills with MicroPython on the [Raspberry Pi Pico 2](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-pico-2.html). - Reference appendices at the back keep the key information close at hand long after you've finished the projects. ## Guides for this product - [Answering Your Pi 5 Questions \| Cooling, Overclocking, Power and More](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/answering-your-pi-5-questions-cooling-overclocking-power-and-more/) - [Raspberry Pi 5 Vs Raspberry Pi 4 Model B \| Comparison & Benchmarking](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-vs-raspberry-pi-4-model-b-comparison-and-benchmarking/) - [Raspberry Pi 5 \| Review, Performance & Benchmarks](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-review-performance-and-benchmarks/) ## Videos for this product - [Answering Your Pi 5 Questions \| Cooling, Overclocking, Power and More](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/answering-your-pi-5-questions-cooling-overclocking-power-and-more) - [Raspberry Pi 5 Vs Raspberry Pi 4 Model B \| Comparison & Benchmarking](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/raspberry-pi-5-vs-raspberry-pi-4-model-b-comparison-benchmarking) - [Raspberry Pi 5 \| Review, Performance & Benchmarks](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/raspberry-pi-5-review-performance-benchmarks) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/c/e/ce09792-6th-edition-showcase.jpg)
