CrowPi L for Learning Hardware
CrowPi L supports you to create more projects with the unique GPIO expansion shield board and Crowtail kit. Crowtail Starter kit includes 22 modules like RGB LED, ultrasonic ranging sensor, IR and etc. Plug and play, and easily start your project. There are no complicated jumpers and soldering, you can focus on learning Raspberry Pi, hardware principles, and Python programming.
CrowPi L for Learning Programming
CrowPi L courses are designed for programming beginners, educators, and Raspberry Pi enthusiasts. etc. Courses range from introductory to advanced, including Python programming lessons and Elecrow self-developed software Letscode for learning graphics programming. In addition to CrowPi's well-respected engaging conversational teaching mode, we've added a PowerPoint mode that more intuitively presents abstract content for students to understand and teachers to teach.

Q1:How do I assemble the CrowPi L, is there a reference video and precautions?
A: You can refer to this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbhLjUF3D9M
Q2: Can the power adapter charge other devices?
A: No. Although the adapter adopts the Type-C interface, it does not support the PD protocol, and the power adapter cannot be used to power other devices.
Q3: Unable to boot?
A: Make sure you are using the correct charger and you inserted the SD card into the Raspberry Pi.
Q4: The wireless mouse cannot be used.
A: Please ensure that the battery is sufficient and the wireless receiver has been inserted into the USB port of the Raspberry Pi.
Q5: The touchpad cannot be used.
A: Please confirm that the touch function (keyboard touch function switch: FN+F1) is turned on.
Q6: The screen is black and freezes.
A: Please check whether the high-current peripherals were mounted and led to the insufficient power supply. It may also due to standby caused by long periods of non-use, use a touchpad or keyboard to wake up.
Q7: The camera and microphone do not work.
A: The USB adapter connection is unstable, please re-plug.
Q8: Unable to connect to the network.
A: Please turn on the wireless network or connect to the Raspberry Pi Ethernet port.
Q9: What other systems can CrowPi L be compatible with?
A: The compatible systems of CrowPi L are: Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Mate, Pop!_OS, RetroPie, Manjaro, Kali, Lakka.
