In this article we will connect a BME680 sensor to an Raspberry Pi Sensor Information BME680 is an integrated environmental sensor developed specifically for mobile applications and wearables where size and low power consumption are key requirements. Expanding Bosch Sensortec’s existing family of environmental sensors,…

Ubuntu is a very popular linux distro and I was pleased to see that there was a version available that was suitable for the Raspberry PI, so as a change instead of the usual Raspbian installation I thought that I would try this out. What…

In this article we will bring you some of our favorite Raspberry Pi 3 related kits that you can buy, all of the kits are available from Aliexpress and we have looked for a few different kits. There are no robot kits in this list…

In this example we take a look at the KY-021 Mini Reed Switch Module and connect this to a Raspberry Pi. Lets speak about the reed switch – from wikipedia Reed Switch Information The reed switch contains a pair (or more) of magnetizable, flexible, metal…

In this example we take a look at the KY-006 Passive Buzzer Module and connect this to a Raspberry Pi. The KY-006 Buzzer Module can generate tones between 1.5 to 2.5 kHz by switching on and off at different frequencies either using delays or PWM.…

In this example we take a look at the KY-010 Photo Interrupter Module and connect this to a Raspberry Pi. The sensor uses a beam of light between the emitter and the detector to check if the path between both is being blocked by an…

In this example we take a look at the KY-011 Two color LED module and connect this to a Raspberry Pi. As you may have guessed this is a common cathode LED with a red anode and a green anode. You can adjust the amount…

In this example we take a look at the KY-003 Hall Magnetic Sensor Module and connect this to a Raspberry Pi. The KY-003 consists of a 3144EUA-S sensitive Hall-effect switch These Hall-effect switches are monolithic integrated circuits with tighter magnetic specifications, designed to operate continuously over extended…

In this example we take a look at the KY-017 Mercury Tilt Switch Module and connect this to a Raspberry Pi. This info is from wikipedia Mercury switches have one or more sets of electrical contacts in a sealed glass envelope that contains a small…

In this example we take a look at the KY-002 Vibration switch module and connect this to a Raspberry Pi. When the switch detects movement, the output of the module is sent low. The module is based around the Gaoxin SW-18010P vibration switch, lets look…
