K. RGB LED
The Hyper Red source color devices are made with AlGaInP on GaAs substrate Light
Emitting Diode. The Blue source color devices are made with InGaNLight Emitting Diode.
The Green source color devices are made with InGaN on Sapphire Light Emitting Diode.
Static electricity and surge damage the LEDS.
It is recommended to use a wrist band or anti-electrostatic glove when handling the LEDs.
All devices, equipment and machinery must be electrically grounded.

L. Red, Green, Yellow, Blue LEDs
Light Emitting Diode (LED) LEDs are solid state devices that emit light when electricity
passes through them. They are directional and need to go in the circuit the right way
around.
Once a certain “on” threshold voltage is reached (about 2V for a red LED) the current
through an LED rises very quickly with the voltage. In most applications, a resistor is
needed to protect the LED from being overloaded due to this effect.

N. 220 and 10K Ohm Resistors
Resistors limit the flow of electricity through part of the circuit. This can be used to control
timing circuits, divide voltages in to smaller portions or protect devices that are sensitive
to too much current.
Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω), kilohms (1,000Ω=1kΩ) or Megohms (1,000,000Ω
=1MΩ) Resistors can go in the circuit either way round.
The value is marked on the device with a color code (see right), or it can be measured
with almost any multimeter.
A shorthand is often used to write the value of a resistor. For example: “100R”=100Ω
“10k”=10kΩ “4k7”=4.7kΩ
Some resistors used in these experiments: 220R – Red, Red, Brown 1k – Brown, Black, Red
10k – Brown, Black, Orange 100k – Brown, Black, Yellow.
Specification:
Resistor color codes:
1st band = 1st number
2nd band = 2nd number
3rd band = 3rd number
4th band = #of zeros/multiplier

5th band = tolerance
Tolerance:
Gold = within 5%

Brown: 1
Red: 2
Orange: 3

A. Getting started
www.uctronics.com
1. If you have a case, start by installing the Raspberry pi inside the case.
2. Insert a pre-programmed MicroSD card into the MicroSD card slot on the bottom side
of the Raspberry Pi.
3. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB ports.
4. Connect a HDMI monitor or TV to the Raspberry Pi using a HDMI cable. Ensure your
monitor or TV is turned on and that you have selected the correct input.
5. Once all connections have been made, it is now time to connect the Micro USB Power
Supply to the board. When the power is connected, the Raspberry Pi will start to boot.

B. Guide to connecting WIFI
If you want to connect your Raspberry Pi to the internet or local network then you will
need to follow these steps:
1. Wi-Fi connections can be made via the network icon at the right-hand end of the
menu bar. left-clicking this icon will bring up a list of available WiFi networks.
2. If no networks are found, it will show the message "No APs found - scanning...": just
wait a few seconds without closing the menu, and it should find your network.
3. The icons on the right show whether a network is secured or not, and its signal
strength. Click the network that you want to connect to. If it's secured, a dialogue box
will appear prompting you to enter the network key.
4. Enter the key and press OK, then wait a couple of seconds. The network icon will flash
briefly to show that a connection is being made. Once it's ready, the icon stops
flashing and shows the signal strength.
