Documentation

PyRasp is a Raspberry Pi simulator that runs in your browser: you buy parts, wire them in Python, and run your program against a simulated board. Every day it hosts a new objective, and everything else — practice tasks, the sandbox, community builds and Lab mode — is there to help you solve it.

Start here

New to PyRasp? Read these in order:

• What PyRasp is — the contest, practice, the sandbox, community and Lab mode.
• Your first circuit — an LED on GPIO17, from an empty workspace to a blinking light.
• Workspace tour — the Task, Shop, Guide and Results tabs, the editors, the board and the console.
• How a run works — circuit.py builds the board, then main.py runs.
• The campaign — 48 levels in eight chapters, with stars to earn: the best place to start.
• Building it on a real Pi — export your code, a wiring sheet and a schematic.
• The daily contest — how a day is timed, scored and ranked.
• Lab mode — the full drag-and-drop simulator in the Lab tab.
• Every shop part — one page per part, with pins and examples.

Going deeper

The reference pages sit next to the guides:

• The wiring library — >> chains, pin names, modules and kits.
• Programming the Pi — gpiozero, RPi.GPIO, I²C, SPI and the rest.
• Glossary — GPIO, pull-up, PWM, I²C and friends.
