1. Raspberry Pi Start Kits
A. Generation Introduction:
The Raspberry Pi 3 Starter Kit is a great way to gain a solid introduction to the small, credit-
card sized computer. The starter kit makes the Raspberry Pi intuitive and easy to learn.
With this kit, you will be able to get your Raspberry Pi 3 as your own credit card sized
computer, getting started with programming and coding. So, if you are looking for a new
challenge or a way to get in on the RPi craze, check out the Raspberry Pi 3 Starter Kit!
UCTRONICS team has carefully done the compatibility test for all components, and offer
the plug and play boot operation system like Raspbian. Users only need additional HDMI
monitor and keyboard/mice to use this kit as a standard PC desktop.
B. Parking list:

B. USB cable with ON/OFF switch
This Raspberry Pi Micro USB Cable with ON / OFF Switch is specifically designed for Raspberry
Pi. Just press the button to turn your Pi on or off, no need to pull the cable to restart or reboot
your Raspberry Pi which prevents the Raspberry Pi's Micro USB connector from frequent
pulling and inserting the USB cable. 1.5m length can be used as power supply for the
Raspberry Pi module, not for data transfer use.
Specification:
➢Type: On/Off switch
➢Length: 1.5m Long
➢Color: Black
➢Connector Type A: USB
➢Connector Type B: Micro USB

A. Getting started
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 MicroUSB Power
Supply to the board. When the power is connected, the Raspberry Pi will start to boot.

C. 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. WiFi 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.
