If you want to measure internet speed then Speedtest is a great website to visit and run the tests, the good news is that there is a Command line interface written in python that means you can quite easily add this functionality to your raspberry…
In this article we look at how to install and setup Samba on the Raspberry Pi Here we detail how to setup network file sharing using Samba on your Raspberry Pi to enable you to share files with other computers on your network. Step 1:…
In this example we create a GUI to set the value for our PWM example – Controlling the Brightness of an LED Schematics Parts Name Links Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Development Board Aliexpress link Amazon. com link Ebay search Starter kit (leds , resistors)…
In this example we will create a gui to switch on and off the LED that we used in the PWM example – Controlling the Brightness of an LED Here is a reminder of the schematics Code Save the following as gpiogui.py [codesyntax lang=”python”] from Tkinter…
In this example we will show you how to control the brightness of an LED connected . The RPi.GPIO library has a PWM feature that allows you to control the power to an LED and its brightness, we will use this in this example Schematic…
This was a strange one, I had an example for an HMC5883 sensor written in python but no matter what i did I couldn’t get it to work. I checked my hardware and software, all looked OK. I then decided to scan the I2C bus…
The PCF8574 is an 8 bits I/O port expander that uses the I2C protocol. Using this IC, you can use only the SDA and SCL pins of your Arduino board to control up to 8 digital I/O ports. A0,A1,A2 are address pins P0,P1,P2,P3,P4,P5,P6,P7 are digital…
The BMP180 is the new digital barometric pressure sensor of Bosch Sensortec, with a very high performance, which enables applications in advanced mobile devices, such as smart phones, tablet PCs and sports devices. It follows the BMP085 and brings many improvements, like the smaller size…
In this example we connect a PIR module up to our Raspberry PI, this is quite a simple module to connect as it requires only 5v, Gnd and the output is PI friendly so does not require any level shifting. A passive infrared sensor (PIR…
The DHT11 digital temperature and humidity sensor is a composite Sensor contains a calibrated digital signal output of the temperature and humidity. DHT11 uses a simplified single bus communication. Single bus that only one data line, the system of data exchange, control by a single…
