1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,759
this is a really exciting little computer it's actually been

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,200
rolling by my youtube feed just constantly

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:11,599
over the past couple of weeks it's actually been a while since we've been

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,440
able to take a look at it for reasons but uh this is the raspberry

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:21,199
pi 400 it is a fully self-contained computer and keyboard

6
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:23,680
all in one and this is the the full personal computer kit comes with the

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,039
mouse as well as a bunch of other goodies here

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,800
around back it'll say yeah meat raspberry pi 400

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:37,120
your complete personal computer built into a compact keyboard remember when

10
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:41,600
computers were built into keyboards back in like the commodore days amiga

11
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:46,000
days featuring a quad-core 64-bit processor

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:49,520
wireless networking dual display output and 4k

13
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:52,559
video playback this is the most powerful and easy to use raspberry pi computer

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,480
yet surf the web edit documents watch videos

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,120
and learn to program using raspberry pi os desktop environment yeah

16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,280
like what else do you need a computer for this is awesome

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,000
i remember this is like the thing that everyone's like oh well the raspberry pi

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,479
like it's one of these days it'll be a full computer and

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:18,080
you'll be able to just get a full computer for like 100 bucks and that's exactly what this is

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:23,439
so this kit contains everything you need to get started with an asterisk

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:27,040
raspberry pi 400 computer usb mouse

22
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:28,000
power supply sd card HDMI cable and

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,079
beginner's guide and it does not include a tv or monitor which is required to get started

24
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,439
unfortunately they can't put that in for a hundred dollars let's

25
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:41,040
see yeah the whole kit's a hundred dollars i just looked what yeah it's like 70

26
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:44,000
for the computer on its own and for the whole kid it's 100 bucks

27
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:49,840
yeah that's why it's so cool it's running an ARM processor let's let's

28
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,000
just be real about that but it can run Windows

29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,280
for ARM and Windows for ARM is getting support

30
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,840
for emulating 64-bit Windows programs so we'll see how

31
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:05,439
that works out in the future so let's get into it literally

32
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:12,560
uh there's no cute little message or anything on the inside i mean

33
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,120
i don't know what was what i was expecting it's 100 bucks 101

34
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,680
actually this isn't too bad keyboard front and center which i mean

35
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:23,680
it's the computer oh that's that's really

36
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,000
really nice it actually just like it doesn't feel very heavy it's kind of

37
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:30,480
just like oh it's a wireless keyboard let's just dig in a little bit deeper

38
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,040
here first before playing around with that too much

39
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,319
okay this is the usb type-c power supply

40
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,400
one volt at 5.1 volts 3 amps

41
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:47,200
so yeah if you had a quick charge charger you could just

42
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:52,720
forego this but it's nice to have

43
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:55,920
a raspberry themed sd card

44
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,680
that is the storage and this is the

45
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:01,200
raspberry pi mouse oh oh i broke the box jono you really

46
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:07,760
need to get me knives for when i can sit down here

47
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:07,760
yeah i know is this going back to them

48
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:15,840
no you mean it's coming back home with me

49
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,840
what um

50
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,239
it's not every ShortCircuit i'm sure if you went back through the short circuits

51
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:26,480
you'd find a ShortCircuit or two where i didn't want to steal whatever it was when i was

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,480
reviewing

53
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:34,959
oh look at that isn't that cute it's a little mouse it's

54
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,200
basically as basic as it gets

55
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:41,440
uh nothing special but it's got a nice little short cable

56
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:43,680
once i get this twist tie off oh you know what this is probably what the usb

57
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,799
2.0 port is for just dedicated for the mouse

58
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:53,360
like that so you don't have to use up your high speed storage your high speed uh

59
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:57,439
connectivity and just get a wireless dongle

60
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:03,040
this mouse isn't great anyway but it's included in the box 400 bucks

61
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:05,360
speaking of things included in the box there is

62
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:14,959
that is uh that is a thick boy starter

63
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:17,040
guide like it is

64
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:19,919
uh it says the official raspberry pi beginner's guide how to use your

65
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,960
computer fully updated for raspberry pi 400 fourth edition by gareth halfaker this book is written

66
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,840
to show you just how easy it is to get started

67
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,120
learn how to that's not easy

68
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,680
oh no it's actually pretty well uh illustrated

69
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,080
there's like a whole lot of illustrations on here and screenshots

70
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,840
and stuff uh do you have a uh oh there's uh i

71
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,080
don't think there's screws i don't know if i want to split

72
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,120
this apart like that does it yeah this is a pi 4 i don't know what

73
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:59,199
the cooling solution looks like inside here i'll have to take it apart later

74
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:01,360
somehow but uh before we get into that

75
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:04,639
gotta talk about vessi thanks bessie footwear for sponsoring today's video

76
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,320
vesey footwear is known for being waterproof and also lightweight and

77
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:13,360
comfortable their diamond text material makes it breathable too it'll keep you cool in the summer and

78
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:16,960
warm in the winter vessy offers everyday styling to fit most occasions

79
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,639
and keep your feet dry for the wet future months save 25

80
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,520
off with opera code ShortCircuit at vesey.com

81
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:29,280
ShortCircuit all right let's get into it uh virtually

82
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:31,919
at first uh so there's

83
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:33,919
actually already a micro sd card in here i guess i should probably look at the

84
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:40,000
ports dual micro HDMI usb type-c for charging

85
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,120
uh i think you can also use a hub off of that uh

86
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,639
two usb 3 usb 2.0 and gigabit network oh

87
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:52,720
and of course the gpio we'll get into those a little bit later oh this is just an adapter it said it

88
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:59,759
came with the cable yeah it says HDMI cable right here

89
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:03,440
ah i did miss it stuffed right in here

90
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:06,479
man i don't like my micro HDMI

91
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,000
let's get our mouse plugged in yeah

92
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:12,960
clearly that mouseport was designed for left-handed people

93
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,639
so it should actually and thankfully did have

94
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:21,840
raspberry pi os set up and ready to go

95
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:21,840
as it is so let's get started

96
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:31,039
uh we probably should shouldn't we that'll do it

97
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:34,160
um why does it say obs virtual camera

98
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:36,080
device is in use by other software it's

99
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,120
a lost cause um i'm probably gonna have to restart

100
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,479
this again if there's one thing that i will say about this is that

101
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,400
if you're going to the effort of making an enclosure like this

102
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:53,440
why can't we have a power switch like i don't see one on here

103
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:58,720
no so this is the default desktop right now we are not connected to wireless

104
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:01,840
let's go ahead and uh all right because i couldn't do the

105
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:07,360
first time setup it didn't actually let me check the country that i'm in

106
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,650
we are in canada gotta tell it that for

107
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,080
regulatory purposes

108
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:22,880
vancouver the uh user interface

109
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:26,639
in raspberry pi os is a little bare bones

110
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000
and of course it needs to reboot that's another thing

111
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:34,720
unlike most Linux distributions raspberry pi os requires a reboot a lot

112
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,919
why isn't it connecting to wi-fi like this could just be our wi-fi being our

113
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:41,440
wi-fi it's been a little bit spotty today uh

114
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,639
oh 2.4 gigahertz looks like it get connected

115
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,560
yeah okay i mean not like we want to use

116
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,160
2.4 gigahertz so let's just go to youtube and uh see

117
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,319
what that's like let's take it a moment why does it have

118
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:06,319
u-block origin in it and h2 okay h264ifi is an extension that

119
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:11,680
you'd probably want on a raspberry pi because Linux doesn't support or at

120
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,120
least didn't it does now hardware accelerated video decoding for

121
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,639
web browsers this shouldn't come out two years ago

122
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:29,360
that did not go to full screen gracefully yeah that's that's definitely

123
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:33,680
doing some tearing and other random stuff that is not great this

124
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,599
shouldn't be pinning the CPU this hard and that's just back to normal again

125
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:41,839
it's like it needs time to fill up the buffer or something

126
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:49,760
it takes a while to pause yeah

127
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,000
wow yeah actually you know what

128
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,839
uh maybe what version of chromium is this

129
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,839
version 78

130
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:02,240
checking uh that all looks pretty out of date all right i'll let that

131
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:07,279
update i guess the version of raspberry pi os that's on here right now

132
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:09,680
uh is pretty old i will say this though

133
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:12,320
like as kind of bad as this desktop experience is

134
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:15,360
i would have killed for this as a kid can't imagine Windows for ARM would be

135
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,120
very fast on this though listen i'm not trashing the pie i'm just

136
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:23,360
saying that there are certain things that it's better at than others

137
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,760
the pi 4 is the first one that's truly been considered like

138
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:29,120
desktop capable and yeah it is

139
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:34,959
for some of the things you might want to do like if i was a kid doing homework i could do it on that

140
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:38,240
watching youtube unless i have this

141
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:40,959
done uh kind of painful

142
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,360
but there are other very very exciting things that this can do

143
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,640
let me quickly look up what it takes to take it apart get it open i used a plexiglas

144
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,760
cutter yeah that's a pretty tight seam i don't i don't know about that well

145
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,680
here's this guy's vlog or blog thanks jeff now we get to see

146
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:01,839
that oh boy i uh oh there we go

147
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:05,120
now we get to see that on the inside it's a long boy pie

148
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:09,839
that's that's what that's that's what it is now

149
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,680
it's a long boy pie it's not strictly

150
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:17,200
designed to be a desktop computer it can be one for a i'm gonna say like a

151
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,320
kid or somebody who just wants to have something that they can break out

152
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:24,320
and like hook some stuff up to and mess around

153
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:29,279
with it so i would say this is kind of for students or for you know tinkerers that kind of

154
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:33,519
thing people who would want a raspberry pi but

155
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:40,560
like want to have like a dedicated machine for tinkering

156
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,560
yeah i'm just finished now this

157
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,600
128 finish yes

158
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,640
so that should have enabled hardware accelerated rendering

159
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:57,600
yeah it's still doing that less

160
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:00,720
uh you know less of it

161
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,480
that was like one third of the time yeah

162
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,519
like it is a lot faster now and there's more you can do with it like

163
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,680
it's it's made for tinkerers people who want to get their hands dirty with this kind of stuff

164
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,200
they don't like provide what i would consider to be sensible defaults they

165
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:17,920
just give you the system and say hey okay here you go that's kind of neat there are other

166
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000
options for operating systems as well this is just

167
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:25,839
raspberry pi os so your mileage may vary now moving on to

168
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,040
the gpio pins what are these for it stands for general

169
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,560
purpose input output basically what these do is these give

170
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,160
you a direct controllable set of pins that you can

171
00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:40,959
just plug stuff into so let's say you've got a little breakout board or cable or something

172
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:45,200
that you can plug in i don't know a snes controller super

173
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:49,360
nintendo controller with the right circuit setup you can plug that into the

174
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,120
general purpose i o port and it'll just work same thing goes for

175
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,800
um if you can get webcams for it so like

176
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,240
yeah it's it's the kind of thing that back in the day

177
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,720
when i was in like high school and junior high school i

178
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:08,560
would have used a like computer with a breakout board

179
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:14,079
that i plugged in with a serial connection and i'd be like okay so in my visual

180
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:18,320
basic program i can press a button and the led lights

181
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,839
up and that was the coolest thing ever

182
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:26,000
except i didn't actually have full access to

183
00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:29,120
that i couldn't use it outside of the courses that were

184
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,200
assigned to me as like a computer course so like i

185
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:39,040
couldn't tinker with it i couldn't be like oh hey this led lights up when i do this so

186
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:43,200
if i were to do i don't know some other sequence of

187
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:50,000
events if i may make it so that when this program runs this led will

188
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,639
blink and if it crashes then this led will blink

189
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,600
or something like that like it can just get much much more complex you can make

190
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:02,320
it do basically whatever you want there are people who make robots

191
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:03,600
with raspberry pi gpio here this is a

192
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:08,320
quick reaction game it just basically has a few wires that

193
00:13:06,079 --> 00:13:14,639
plug into this breadboard and they plug into these gpio pins

194
00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:18,800
you have a button here an led here and a button here

195
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,040
so i guess it's a two player game one person has one button the other person

196
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,880
has the other as soon as light goes on you press

197
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:32,560
and you can make that it's really only limited by the number of

198
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:37,440
pins you have so like here we have

199
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:40,160
a module that is essentially just an led

200
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,199
array so you can write out messages in it

201
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:47,199
a bunch of voltage lines there's a bunch of just gpio lines and there's

202
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:51,440
the eeprom lines which are not necessarily all that

203
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:52,800
useful for most people i would say and

204
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:57,839
that is awesome that's something that has been possible to do since the raspberry pi

205
00:13:55,519 --> 00:14:01,120
one and now it's in a form factor that is i would say

206
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:05,360
accessible to kids and i would say that this is the perfect

207
00:14:02,079 --> 00:14:06,320
thing for a kid that has you know kind

208
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,680
of imagination and a little bit of a tinkering spirit you know uh

209
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:15,360
kind of the digital equivalent of like meccano

210
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:19,040
or something like that back in the day anyway uh

211
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,560
yeah i'm just getting flustered because there's so much stuff you can do with it

212
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:26,160
and it's difficult for me to get across how cool that is that basically just has

213
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,079
everything you need except for the screen and you can just plug it into your tv and plug it into your monitor

214
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,160
plug it in wherever you can get a the signal with HDMI and just

215
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,600
start going with it i don't know what else to say about it

216
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,360
more in depth oh man i would love to

217
00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:47,680
take a look at this in more depth than LTT maybe we can use it in a project or

218
00:14:46,079 --> 00:14:54,480
something maybe we can find something like uh i don't know a desk pc or like

219
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:58,800
uh some kind of switchable desk thing where we can use the keyboard

220
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,440
to interact with like obs scenes or something i don't know

221
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,399
like there are so many different things you can do and it's just

222
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,240
uh yeah let me know if you want to see that in a ltte at some point in the

223
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,480
future but for now thanks for watching

224
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:18,079
uh and i guess subscribe if you enjoyed

225
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:23,920
my little stumbling through the raspberry pi 400 and i guess i'll

226
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,920
see you in the next one
