Using the command line in python is fine and for a lot of my sensor examples it is adequate the results show up like this but ultimately for displaying results or getting user feedback say to click on a button to switch and led on…
In this example we connected an LDR to our Raspberry Pi, we will connect the output to a GPIO pin and detect whether its light or dark Here is a typical module You connect the module to you Raspberry Pi as follows. Pi GPIO header…
In a previous example we connected a Max7219 8×8 LED matrix display to our Raspberry Pi, you can also purchase a 7 segment display which uses the same ic. Here is a typical module To make life easy there is a python module already available…
As part of my arduino/general microcontroller development I purchase a variety of interesting boards and modules, oneof these is a 8×8 LED array which is controlled by a MAX7219. these modules are low cost and are nice for beginners level projects, you can display text,…
The pibrella is a nice little board that connects yo the GPIO connector of your Raspberry PI. It has the folllowing to play around with Red, Green and yellow LEDs A push button switch A buzzer 4 inputs and 4 outputs (protected) I2C connector (not…
In a previous example we created a simple console program, in this example we will create a basic GUI program. To do this we need to install GTK. Lets begin by installing GTK for mono [codesyntax lang=”bash”] sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp2 [/codesyntax] Create a folder…
Previously we showed you a C# example for your Raspberry Pi. We installed a text editor and then the mono development environment. We then created our c sharp example in our text editor , compiled and ran it. This typically is the way you write…
Before I start I will say that this isn’t going to be some petty post that spends lots of time justifying and then putting down other programming languages. I’ve used C# and many other languages and I personally have no real favourites. In this example…
In this example we will connect a capacitive sensor to a GPIO pin on our Raspberry PI, when we touch the sensor we will display a message to the user. A practical use may be a touch activated lamp. This is the sensor we used…
In the following example we will connect an LED and resistor to pin 7 of P1 on our Raspberry PI and we will flash an LED on, here is a picture of this OK we will use python, this tutorial assumes you already have Raspbian…
