Raspberry Pi Maker is a native OpenClaw plugin for planning, wiring, coding, and debugging Raspberry Pi hardware projects.

• A focused OpenClaw skill at skills/raspberry-pi-maker/SKILL.md
• GPIO and interface reference material
• Beginner, intermediate, and advanced project guides
• A generated README hero image at assets/raspberry-pi-maker-hero.png
• Troubleshooting workflows for GPIO, I2C, camera, networking, boot, and service issues
• A local validation script for plugin metadata, skill frontmatter, and markdown links

This plugin provides educational guidance for low-voltage Raspberry Pi projects. Users are responsible for verifying wiring before applying power and for using appropriate drivers, level shifting, fuses, isolation, and enclosures for their hardware.

Do not use Raspberry Pi GPIO pins to directly drive motors, mains voltage, high-current loads, relays without suitable driver circuitry, or any safety-critical system.

This project is packaged as a native OpenClaw plugin with a lightweight runtime entrypoint and a declared skill root.

OpenClaw detects the plugin from:

• package.json with openclaw.extensions
• openclaw.plugin.json
• skills/

The manifest declares skills: ["skills"], so OpenClaw loads the bundled skill when the plugin is enabled.

After this package is published:

openclaw plugins install raspberry-pi-maker
openclaw gateway restart
openclaw plugins inspect raspberry-pi-maker
openclaw skills info raspberry-pi-maker

Before publishing:

npm test
node --check index.js
npm pack --dry-run

npm pack --dry-run should show only the public plugin files, documentation, references, validator, and README image.

The package also has prepack and prepublishOnly scripts that run the release checks automatically.

From the parent directory:

openclaw plugins install ./raspberry-pi-maker --link
openclaw gateway restart
openclaw plugins list
openclaw skills list

Without --link, OpenClaw copies the plugin into its managed install area. With --link, edits in this repository remain live after refresh.

Run the repository validator:

npm test

Before publishing or sharing a release, also run:

node --check index.js
npm pack --dry-run
openclaw plugins install ./raspberry-pi-maker --link
openclaw skills info raspberry-pi-maker

Recommended OpenClaw checks after installation:

openclaw plugins doctor
openclaw plugins inspect raspberry-pi-maker
openclaw skills check
