FROM PROTOTYPE TO PRODUCT: Building Commercial Devices with Raspberry Pi

From Prototype to Product: Building Commercial Devices with Raspberry Pi

Transform your Raspberry Pi projects into profitable commercial products

This systematic guide shows you how to build real hardware businesses with Raspberry Pi. Written by an engineer who has shipped over 5,000 devices worldwide, including time attendance systems, thermal cameras, and self-service beer machines.

What You'll Learn:

• Systematic problem analysis and component selection frameworks
• Building "spider" prototypes that validate concepts before PCB design
• Scaling manufacturing from 5 PCBs to 100+ unit production runs
• Production software architecture with remote updates and auto-recovery
• Navigating certification requirements (CE, FCC) and supplier relationships
• Creating repeatable processes for consistent quality at scale

Real Production Experience: Based on actual manufacturing using JLCPCB, MJF printing, and established suppliers. Includes real cost breakdowns, supplier recommendations, and lessons learned from field deployments across multiple countries.

Perfect For: Hardware engineers, makers, and entrepreneurs ready to move beyond hobby projects into commercial device development. Assumes basic familiarity with Raspberry Pi and electronics.
