Prototyping plate
The Adafruit prototyping "plate" (ie, daughtercard) is available here.
If you put a mini-breadboard in the middle it obscures the silkscreen markings for the port numbers so the above picture can help determine which header pin corresponds to which channel.
Hardware Interfaces
The Raspberry Pi has a 26-pin BERG stick style header which has the interfaces to connect up external hardware. They provide 8 GPIO pins plus access to I2C, SPI, UART), as well as +3.3 V, +5 V and GND supply lines.
WARNING: GPIO voltage levels are 3.3 V and are not 5 V tolerant. There is no over-voltage protection on the board.

Composite Video
4-Pole A/V Connector
- The Raspberry Pi Models A+ and B+ have a 4-pole 3.5mm connector which has right/left audio and video
- Cheap ebay connector didn't work because of pinout
- Cable has outer ring as ground
- Raspberry Pi has outer ring as video
- Re-wired cable and it worked

Pi Mechanicals
The Raspberry Pi PCB measures 85mm x 56.2mm excluding overhanging connectors and is 20.8mm high. Pi Mechanicals are complicated due to a lack of adequate mounting holes. Various methods have been developed to deal with this deficiency. The primary method is clamping the card from the sides.

Setting a Static IP on the Raspberry Pi (Raspian Stretch)
- This is for Raspian Stretch and newer (as of 2019-01)
- See here for configuring the IP address for older versions of Raspian (Jessie)
To find out which version of Raspian is running
cat /etc/os-release
- From Configuring a Static IP for a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian - (Retrieved 2019-01-19).
- Open the config file for editing.
sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
At the bottom of the file add settings:
interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.2.31/24 static routers=192.168.2.1 static domain_name_servers=192.168.2.1 8.8.8.8 4.2.2.1 static domain_search=example.com static domain_name=example.com
Setting a Static IP on the Raspberry Pi (Raspian Jessie and earlier)
- This is for the older Raspian Jessie and earlier versions of Raspian
- See this for setting the IP on Raspian Stretch
- To find out which version of Raspian is running
cat /etc/os-release
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces address 192.168.1.81 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 sudo rm /var/lib/dhcp/*
Network Static IP Addresses
There are two networks. The .1 network connects to the router to the Internet. The .2 network connects to the PiRouter.
Main .1 Network Static IP Addresses
192.168.1.7 = PiRouter wireless side (as seen from the main .1 network) 192.168.1.XXX - MotionEyes camera PiCluster Addresses Intend to move the below addresses to the .2 secondary network
Secondary .2 Network Static IP Addresses
192.168.2.1 = PiRouter wired Ethernet side (as seen from the .2 network) 192.168.2.51 = hpg7i3 - HP laptop 192.168.2.101 = RPP2-02 192.168.2.102 = RP2-01 192.168.2.103 = rpp01 192.168.2.104 = rp256 192.168.2.105 = B256 192.168.2.109 = BBB_RevC 192.168.2.110 = BBB_RevB rpp3-01 = 192.168.2.151 rpp3-02 = 192.168.2.152 rpp3-03 = 192.168.2.153 rpp3-04 = 192.168.2.154 rpp3-05 = 192.168.2.155 rpp3-06 = 192.168.2.156 rpp3-07 = 192.168.2.157 rpp3-08 = 192.168.2.158 rpp3-09 = 192.168.2.159 rpp3-10 = 192.168.2.160 rpp3-11 = 192.168.2.161 rpp3-12 = 192.168.2.162 rpp3-13 = 192.168.2.163 rpp3-14 = 192.168.2.164 rpp3-15 = 192.168.2.165 rpp3-16 = 192.168.2.166
