WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.759
this is a really exciting little computer it's actually been

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:09.200
rolling by my youtube feed just constantly

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:11.599
over the past couple of weeks it's actually been a while since we've been

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.440
able to take a look at it for reasons but uh this is the raspberry

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:21.199
pi 400 it is a fully self-contained computer and keyboard

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:23.680
all in one and this is the the full personal computer kit comes with the

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:29.039
mouse as well as a bunch of other goodies here

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.800
around back it'll say yeah meat raspberry pi 400

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.120
your complete personal computer built into a compact keyboard remember when

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:41.600
computers were built into keyboards back in like the commodore days amiga

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:46.000
days featuring a quad-core 64-bit processor

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:49.520
wireless networking dual display output and 4k

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:52.559
video playback this is the most powerful and easy to use raspberry pi computer

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.480
yet surf the web edit documents watch videos

00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:01.120
and learn to program using raspberry pi os desktop environment yeah

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.280
like what else do you need a computer for this is awesome

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.000
i remember this is like the thing that everyone's like oh well the raspberry pi

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:12.479
like it's one of these days it'll be a full computer and

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

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:23.439
so this kit contains everything you need to get started with an asterisk

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:27.040
raspberry pi 400 computer usb mouse

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.000
power supply sd card HDMI cable and

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

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:35.439
unfortunately they can't put that in for a hundred dollars let's

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

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:44.000
for the computer on its own and for the whole kid it's 100 bucks

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

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:54.000
just be real about that but it can run Windows

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.280
for ARM and Windows for ARM is getting support

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:01.840
for emulating 64-bit Windows programs so we'll see how

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.439
that works out in the future so let's get into it literally

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.560
uh there's no cute little message or anything on the inside i mean

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:17.120
i don't know what was what i was expecting it's 100 bucks 101

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:21.680
actually this isn't too bad keyboard front and center which i mean

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.680
it's the computer oh that's that's really

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.000
really nice it actually just like it doesn't feel very heavy it's kind of

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

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:33.040
here first before playing around with that too much

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:40.319
okay this is the usb type-c power supply

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.400
one volt at 5.1 volts 3 amps

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:47.200
so yeah if you had a quick charge charger you could just

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:52.720
forego this but it's nice to have

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:55.920
a raspberry themed sd card

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:57.680
that is the storage and this is the

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:01.200
raspberry pi mouse oh oh i broke the box jono you really

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:07.760
need to get me knives for when i can sit down here

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:07.760
yeah i know is this going back to them

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:15.840
no you mean it's coming back home with me

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.840
what um

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:22.239
it's not every ShortCircuit i'm sure if you went back through the short circuits

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

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.480
reviewing

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:34.959
oh look at that isn't that cute it's a little mouse it's

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:37.200
basically as basic as it gets

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:41.440
uh nothing special but it's got a nice little short cable

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

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:48.799
2.0 port is for just dedicated for the mouse

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

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:57.439
connectivity and just get a wireless dongle

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:03.040
this mouse isn't great anyway but it's included in the box 400 bucks

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.360
speaking of things included in the box there is

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:14.959
that is uh that is a thick boy starter

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:17.040
guide like it is

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:19.919
uh it says the official raspberry pi beginner's guide how to use your

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.960
computer fully updated for raspberry pi 400 fourth edition by gareth halfaker this book is written

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.840
to show you just how easy it is to get started

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.120
learn how to that's not easy

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.680
oh no it's actually pretty well uh illustrated

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:42.080
there's like a whole lot of illustrations on here and screenshots

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.840
and stuff uh do you have a uh oh there's uh i

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.080
don't think there's screws i don't know if i want to split

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

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:59.199
the cooling solution looks like inside here i'll have to take it apart later

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:01.360
somehow but uh before we get into that

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.639
gotta talk about vessi thanks bessie footwear for sponsoring today's video

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.320
vesey footwear is known for being waterproof and also lightweight and

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

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.960
warm in the winter vessy offers everyday styling to fit most occasions

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:20.639
and keep your feet dry for the wet future months save 25

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:23.520
off with opera code ShortCircuit at vesey.com

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:29.280
ShortCircuit all right let's get into it uh virtually

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:31.919
at first uh so there's

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:33.919
actually already a micro sd card in here i guess i should probably look at the

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:40.000
ports dual micro HDMI usb type-c for charging

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:45.120
uh i think you can also use a hub off of that uh

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:46.639
two usb 3 usb 2.0 and gigabit network oh

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

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:59.759
came with the cable yeah it says HDMI cable right here

00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:03.440
ah i did miss it stuffed right in here

00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:06.479
man i don't like my micro HDMI

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:08.000
let's get our mouse plugged in yeah

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:12.960
clearly that mouseport was designed for left-handed people

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:16.639
so it should actually and thankfully did have

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:21.840
raspberry pi os set up and ready to go

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.840
as it is so let's get started

00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:31.039
uh we probably should shouldn't we that'll do it

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:34.160
um why does it say obs virtual camera

00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:36.080
device is in use by other software it's

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.120
a lost cause um i'm probably gonna have to restart

00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:44.479
this again if there's one thing that i will say about this is that

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:48.400
if you're going to the effort of making an enclosure like this

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:53.440
why can't we have a power switch like i don't see one on here

00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:58.720
no so this is the default desktop right now we are not connected to wireless

00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:01.840
let's go ahead and uh all right because i couldn't do the

00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:07.360
first time setup it didn't actually let me check the country that i'm in

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.650
we are in canada gotta tell it that for

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:14.080
regulatory purposes

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:22.880
vancouver the uh user interface

00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:26.639
in raspberry pi os is a little bare bones

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:30.000
and of course it needs to reboot that's another thing

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:34.720
unlike most Linux distributions raspberry pi os requires a reboot a lot

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

00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:41.440
wi-fi it's been a little bit spotty today uh

00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:46.639
oh 2.4 gigahertz looks like it get connected

00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:52.560
yeah okay i mean not like we want to use

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.160
2.4 gigahertz so let's just go to youtube and uh see

00:07:54.400 --> 00:08:00.319
what that's like let's take it a moment why does it have

00:07:57.599 --> 00:08:06.319
u-block origin in it and h2 okay h264ifi is an extension that

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:11.680
you'd probably want on a raspberry pi because Linux doesn't support or at

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:15.120
least didn't it does now hardware accelerated video decoding for

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:18.639
web browsers this shouldn't come out two years ago

00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:29.360
that did not go to full screen gracefully yeah that's that's definitely

00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:33.680
doing some tearing and other random stuff that is not great this

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:37.599
shouldn't be pinning the CPU this hard and that's just back to normal again

00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:41.839
it's like it needs time to fill up the buffer or something

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:49.760
it takes a while to pause yeah

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:52.000
wow yeah actually you know what

00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:55.839
uh maybe what version of chromium is this

00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:55.839
version 78

00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:02.240
checking uh that all looks pretty out of date all right i'll let that

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:07.279
update i guess the version of raspberry pi os that's on here right now

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.680
uh is pretty old i will say this though

00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:12.320
like as kind of bad as this desktop experience is

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

00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:19.120
very fast on this though listen i'm not trashing the pie i'm just

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:23.360
saying that there are certain things that it's better at than others

00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:27.760
the pi 4 is the first one that's truly been considered like

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:29.120
desktop capable and yeah it is

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

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:38.240
watching youtube unless i have this

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:40.959
done uh kind of painful

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:43.360
but there are other very very exciting things that this can do

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

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

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:55.680
here's this guy's vlog or blog thanks jeff now we get to see

00:09:54.880 --> 00:10:01.839
that oh boy i uh oh there we go

00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:05.120
now we get to see that on the inside it's a long boy pie

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.839
that's that's what that's that's what it is now

00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:11.680
it's a long boy pie it's not strictly

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

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.320
kid or somebody who just wants to have something that they can break out

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:24.320
and like hook some stuff up to and mess around

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

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:33.519
thing people who would want a raspberry pi but

00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:40.560
like want to have like a dedicated machine for tinkering

00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:40.560
yeah i'm just finished now this

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:47.600
128 finish yes

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.640
so that should have enabled hardware accelerated rendering

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:57.600
yeah it's still doing that less

00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:00.720
uh you know less of it

00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:02.480
that was like one third of the time yeah

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

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

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.200
they don't like provide what i would consider to be sensible defaults they

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

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.000
options for operating systems as well this is just

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:25.839
raspberry pi os so your mileage may vary now moving on to

00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:29.040
the gpio pins what are these for it stands for general

00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:32.560
purpose input output basically what these do is these give

00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:36.160
you a direct controllable set of pins that you can

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

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:45.200
that you can plug in i don't know a snes controller super

00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:49.360
nintendo controller with the right circuit setup you can plug that into the

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:53.120
general purpose i o port and it'll just work same thing goes for

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.800
um if you can get webcams for it so like

00:11:55.760 --> 00:12:00.240
yeah it's it's the kind of thing that back in the day

00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:04.720
when i was in like high school and junior high school i

00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:08.560
would have used a like computer with a breakout board

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

00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:18.320
basic program i can press a button and the led lights

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.839
up and that was the coolest thing ever

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:26.000
except i didn't actually have full access to

00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:29.120
that i couldn't use it outside of the courses that were

00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:33.200
assigned to me as like a computer course so like i

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

00:12:36.880 --> 00:12:43.200
if i were to do i don't know some other sequence of

00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:50.000
events if i may make it so that when this program runs this led will

00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:52.639
blink and if it crashes then this led will blink

00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:55.600
or something like that like it can just get much much more complex you can make

00:12:54.880 --> 00:13:02.320
it do basically whatever you want there are people who make robots

00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:03.600
with raspberry pi gpio here this is a

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:08.320
quick reaction game it just basically has a few wires that

00:13:06.079 --> 00:13:14.639
plug into this breadboard and they plug into these gpio pins

00:13:12.079 --> 00:13:18.800
you have a button here an led here and a button here

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

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:26.880
has the other as soon as light goes on you press

00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:32.560
and you can make that it's really only limited by the number of

00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:37.440
pins you have so like here we have

00:13:32.560 --> 00:13:40.160
a module that is essentially just an led

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.199
array so you can write out messages in it

00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:47.199
a bunch of voltage lines there's a bunch of just gpio lines and there's

00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:51.440
the eeprom lines which are not necessarily all that

00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.800
useful for most people i would say and

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:57.839
that is awesome that's something that has been possible to do since the raspberry pi

00:13:55.519 --> 00:14:01.120
one and now it's in a form factor that is i would say

00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:05.360
accessible to kids and i would say that this is the perfect

00:14:02.079 --> 00:14:06.320
thing for a kid that has you know kind

00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.680
of imagination and a little bit of a tinkering spirit you know uh

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:15.360
kind of the digital equivalent of like meccano

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:19.040
or something like that back in the day anyway uh

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

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

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

00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:34.160
plug it in wherever you can get a the signal with HDMI and just

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.600
start going with it i don't know what else to say about it

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:43.360
more in depth oh man i would love to

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

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

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.800
uh some kind of switchable desk thing where we can use the keyboard

00:14:55.920 --> 00:15:01.440
to interact with like obs scenes or something i don't know

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.399
like there are so many different things you can do and it's just

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

00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:16.480
future but for now thanks for watching

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.079
uh and i guess subscribe if you enjoyed

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:23.920
my little stumbling through the raspberry pi 400 and i guess i'll

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.920
see you in the next one
