The Sense HAT is an add-on board for Raspberry Pi, made especially for the Astro Pi mission. The Sense HAT has an 8×8 RGB LED matrix, a five-button joystick and includes the following sensors: Gyroscope Accelerometer Magnetometer Temperature Barometric pressure Humidity In this example we…

In this article we will connect a Si1145 sensor to an Raspberry Pi First the sensor The Si1145/46/47 is a low-power, reflectance-based, infrared proximity, ultraviolet (UV) index, and ambient light sensor with I2C digital interface and programmableevent interrupt output. This touchless sensor IC includes an…

In this article we talk a little about the default password for the raspberry pi and later we also show a method of recovering the password if you have forgotten it Default username and password The default user is pi, and the password is raspberry…

In this article we will connect a CCS811 gas sensor to an Raspberry Pi Sensor Information CCS811 is a low-power digital gas sensor solution, which integrates a gas sensor solution for detecting low levels of VOCs typically found indoors, with a microcontroller unit (MCU) and…

In this article we will connect a ADXL362 3-axis accelerometer to an Raspberry Pi The ADXL362 always provides 12-bit output resolution; 8-bit formatted data is also provided for more efficient single-byte transfers when a lower resolution is sufficient. Measurement ranges of ±2 g, ±4 g, and ±8 g are…

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…

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 article we will connect a VL53L0X Time-of-Flight sensor to an Raspberry Pi Sensor information The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the smallest package on the market today, providing accurate distance measurement whatever the target reflectances unlike conventional…

Yep, the new Raspberry Pi 4 is now released and I have one, here is a picture in its box. In this article we will look at the features of the Raspberry Pi 4 and my general impressions of the new board First lets look…

In this article we look at running Android on a Raspberry Pi, in particular we will look at Lineage and Android 8.1.0. We will look at another Android alternative in another article Basic Requirements Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+…
