Hello readers, we hope you all are doing great. Welcome to the 1st lecture of Section 4 in the ESP32 Programming Series. In this section, we will interface the ESP32 module with common Embedded modules(i.e. LCD, Keypad, RTC etc.).
In today's tutorial, we will interface ESP32 with a 16x2 LCD and will display data using both Data Mode and I2C Mode. LCD is the most commonly used embedded module in IoT Projects. It is used to display different types of data i.e. sensor readings, warning messages, notifications etc.
Before going forward, let's first have a look at what is LCD and How it works:

LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) is a type of electronic display module that is used in a wide variety of applications and devices such as calculators, computers, mobile phones, TVs, etc. There are different types of LCDs available for commercial use. Today, we are going to use the most simple one i.e. 16x2 LCD, shown in the below figure:
This 16x2 LCD has 16 columns and 2 rows, so in total of 32 blocks to display characters. Each Block can display a single character at a time. We can display text in different styles on this LCD i.e. blinking, scrolling etc. Another variant of this LCD is 20x4 LCD and as the name suggests, it has 20 columns and 4 rows and so can display 80 characters at a time. The operating principle of both of these LCDs is quite similar. So, if you are working with a 20x4 LCD, you can still follow this tutorial.
Let's have a look at the LCD pinout:
Both 16x2 and 20x4 LCDs have 16 pins each, used to control 7 write on these LCDs. Among these 16 pins, we have:
LCD Pinout and its working is shown in the below table:
| LCD Pinout |

||
| 4 |
RS(Register Select) | If RS=0(GND), LCD operates in Data Mode and we can write characters on the LCD. |
||
| If RS=1(+5V), LCD Command Mode gets activated and we can send commands to LCD i.e. erase, new line etc.. |
||||
| 5 |
R/W(Read & Write) | R/W=0(GND) enables the write operation on the LCD. (So, we normally keep this pin LOW, as we are interested in printing on the LCD). | ||
| R/W=1(+5V) enables the read operation on the LCD. |

Now, let's interface the LCD with ESP32:
There are two methods to interface ESP32 with a 16x2 LCD:
In the Data Mode, we use the LCD Data Pins and send data serially, while in the I2C mode, we solder an I2C adapter with the LCD, which acts as a bridge and maps I2C data coming from the microcontroller to the Data Pins. Let's first interface ESP32 and LCD via Data Pins:
As we discussed earlier, LCD has 8 Data Pins used to communicate with the Microcontroller. There are two ways to send data from the Microcontroller to the LCD:
In complex projects, where you are dealing with multiple sensors & modules, its quite difficult to spare 8 Pins for LCD interfacing. So, normally 4-Pin method is preferred, which we are going to design next:
Here are the components required to interface LCD with ESP32:
Now, let's design the ESP32 LCD Circuit Diagram:
[Image]
As you can see in the above figure:
Here's our hardware setup for ESP32 LCD Interfacing:
[Image]
Now let's design the Programming Code to print a simple message on the LCD:
We are using Arduino IDE to compile and upload code in the ESP32 module. If you haven't installed it yet, please read How to Install ESP32 in Arduino IDE. Here's the code to print a message on the LCD:
#include
LiquidCrystal lcd(22,23,5,18,19,21);
void setup()
{
lcd.begin(16, 2);
lcd.clear();
// go to row 0 column 5, note that this is indexed at 0
lcd.setCursor(5,0);
lcd.print("ESP32");
// go to row 1 column 0, note that this is indexed at 0
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print (" TheEnggProjects");
}
void loop()
{
} #include
LiquidCrystal lcd(22,23,5,18,19,21);
In the Setup() Function:
lcd.begin(16, 2);
So, if you are using a 20x4 LCD, you should change its arguments to 20 and 4, as shown below:
lcd.begin(20, 4);
lcd.clear();
lcd.setCursor(5,0);
lcd.print("ESP32");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print (" TheEnggProjects");
As you can see, the LCD code is quite simple and I hope now you can easily print on the LCD. So, let's check the results:

This concludes the tutorial. We hope you found this of some help and also hope to see you soon with a new tutorial on ESP32.
Tech tools can make or break a business in this day and age, regardless of the industry or niche a venture is in. As such, it’s vital to source the best possible technologies that will help you make your organization the best it can be and the most likely to reach its goals. As you invest in technology, it pays to avoid some common mistakes.
Many entrepreneurs have a detailed business plan they created when they began or bought their business, but they fail to plan much for technology. It’s essential to have a vision and strategy for your technological needs so you don’t keep jumping from one system, app, or product to another with no clarity on why you need certain programs.
A lack of planning can add to your total costs, too, since you’re more likely to have to keep buying new software to try to find the right things to suit your needs, rather than understanding from the start what’s required. Consider the various areas of your business and what you need in each.
For example, think about your sales and marketing processes, HR and payroll requirements, finance and accounting needs, where you’re up to with strategic sourcing in 2022, customer service plans, and more. Where possible, invest in tech tools that can be used across different parts of your organization and that will integrate well, too.
With so many different tech products coming out all the time, it’s easy to be like a bowerbird and get distracted by shiny new objects in this field that seem fun and interesting. However, focusing on trends and the latest gear rather than what’s actually the best fit for your company and needs is a common mistake.
Going down this path will mean you likely end up spending a lot more money than you need to on technology and buying devices or programs that aren’t suited to your business or are simply irrelevant. Instead, refer back to your tech plan to see if new products will provide the solutions you’re after and, if not, appreciate what they offer but don’t bother buying them.
If you feel called to test a new offering, at least sign up for a free trial so you don’t have to outlay money on it. You can always cancel after the zero-cost introductory period if you can tell you really won’t use the software or that it doesn’t do enough for your needs.
Another common mistake many business owners and managers make is not creating a budget for technological items at the start of the calendar or financial year. When you have a budget in place, you stop and think twice before signing up for a subscription service when it releases or the latest gadget you hear other entrepreneurs talking about.
A set budget specifically for tech goods keeps you on track financially and keeps you and your team accountable. Keep in mind, too, that every new tool you buy needs setting up and learning in some way, which is time-consuming. When you adhere to a budget, you’re less likely to end up getting bogged down with too many things to wrap your head around.
Unfortunately, though, many people get so busy with general day-to-day tasks that they forget about this area or think it’s something they can consider later (a time that never really comes until the worst happens). If you want to protect your firm’s and customers’ data from prying eyes and stop hackers from charging you ransom or stealing money, you need to spend plenty of time and energy upgrading your company’s security processes.
Invest in quality, comprehensive security software and firewalls that protect devices and accounts. Ensure all computers and programs are kept updated at all times so there are fewer security gaps for hackers to take advantage of. Train your staff to be very careful about what links they click on and emails they open. They should choose solid passwords that can’t be easily guessed. Proper codes are at least eight characters in length, made up of a mixture of numbers, letters, and symbols, and changed every so often.
Other mistakes to avoid include rushing into purchases, neglecting free downloadable tools, and not testing systems enough before going live or otherwise implementing them. Be wary of considering price only when evaluating products, as customer support, security, scalability, and other factors also matter.
Technology can help us considerably to run our ventures but only when we invest in suitable options. Think about all these errors that others have made before you when buying tech tools so you can save yourself cash, headaches, and time.
The more you learn about Python, the more you may use it for your own purposes. Data analyst, application developer, or the ability to automate your work processes are all examples of jobs that can be automated.
This Python 3 tutorial will show you how to create a simple "Hello, World" program. Python's basic syntax and components include the following:
An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a software development tool. Integrated development environments (IDEs) include a variety of software development-specific tools. Examples of these instruments include:
There are many distinct programming languages supported by IDEs, as well as a wide range of additional functionality. Because of this, they can be very huge and take a long time to download and install. Using them correctly may necessitate additional training.
A function is a piece of code that serves a single purpose and can be reused multiple times. Functions provide for greater modularity and code reuse in your program. Functions have the benefit of being well-known by a variety of names. Functions, methods, subroutines, procedures, etc. are all referred to in different ways by different programming languages. Think about what we'll be talking about later in this session if you come across any of these terms.
Since you all learned Python by printing Hello, World! you might think that there is nothing new to learn about the Python Print function. As with any language, learning to use the Print function in Python or any other is like taking your first baby steps into a new world of programming. When studying a programming language, it's easy to get caught up in the more advanced concepts and lose sight of the simplicity and usefulness of basic functions.
Today's tutorial is all about Python's Print function; you'll learn about one of the most underappreciated functions.
For example, in Python3, parenthesis is required or else you'll get a syntax error as illustrated in the image below.
In Python3, print () is not a statement but a function, as demonstrated by the above output. First things first, let's see what the print () function returns.
Built-in functions and methods are returned by this method, which indicates that it is a Python function.
A new line or vertical space between the two outputs can be added by simply using the print () function without sending any arguments in.
The Command Palette, which is possibly Atom's most essential command, is shown to us on that welcome page. The command palette will appear if you press Ctrl+Shift+P while in an editor pane.
Packages from the Atom community are available to help you assemble and run programs. We'll be utilizing "script" to run our application in this example.
go to file>settings>install
Install script by searching for it in the search bar. It should appear under "Packages" in the Settings menu after installation. Please be aware that script does not support human input. The "apm" package manager can be used to install packages on Mac OS or Linux.
Go to File > Add Project Folder in atom and pick a directory to serve as the project's root directory.
In the folder, right-click the folder and select "New File," type "hello."py," and click "OK."
Now that you've made your adjustments, you can open the new file in the editor by clicking on it and then saving it.
Then, in the Print dialog box, type "hello, world!"
To execute the script, use CTRL+SHIFT+B. You may also use View > Toggle Command Palette and type Script: Run to execute a script.
You can also use your terminal to run the python file by navigating to the file directory containing your hello.py file and running this command
python hello.py
File editing is rather simple. You can use your mouse and keyboard to navigate and edit the content of the page. A separate editing mode or key commands are not provided. Take a look at the list of Atom packages if you prefer editors that have modes or more advanced key commands. Many programs are available that mimic popular design elements.
You may save a file by selecting File > Save from the menu bar or by pressing Ctrl+S. There are two ways to save the current material in your editor: by selecting File > Save As or using Ctrl+Shift+S. Finally, you can save all open files in Atom by selecting File > Save All.
The majority of your time will be spent working on projects with numerous files, not just single files. Take advantage of the File > Open Folder menu option and select an appropriate folder from the drop-down menu. File > Add Project Folder or hitting Ctrl+Shift+A can also be used to add other directories to your current Atom window.
The command line utility, atom, allows you to open unlimited number of directories by supplying their paths to it. The command atom./hopes./dreams, for example, can be used to simultaneously open the hopes and dreams directories.
An automated Tree View will be displayed on the side of Atom if one or more directories are open.
When you use the Tree View, it's a breeze to see the whole file and directory structure of your project. You can open, rename, and delete files, as well as create new ones, using this window.
In order to toggle between concealing and showing it, use Ctrl+, use the tree-view: toggle command from the Menu Bar, or press Alt+ to bring focus to it. The A, M, and Delete keys can be used to add, move, or remove files and directories in the Tree view. It's also possible to access these choices by right-clicking on a file or folder in the Tree view, as well as copying or pasting its path into your clipboard.
Unlike functional programming languages that used a single long list of instructions, Python uses code modules that may be switched out. Cpython is the default Python implementation. It is the most often used Python implementation.
Python does not translate its code into a form that hardware can understand, known as machine code. As a result, it turns it into byte code. Python does have a compiler, but it doesn't compile to a machine language. CPUs are unable to decode the byte code (.pyc or.pyo). We'll run the bytes through Python's virtual machine interpreter.
To convert a script into an executable, the Python source code follows these steps:
First, the python compiler reads a python source code or instruction from the command line. It ensures proper formatting of the instruction by inspecting the grammar of each line. The translation is immediately interrupted if an error is found, and an error message is presented.
Assuming there are no errors and the Python source code or instructions are properly formatted, the compiler proceeds to translate them into a form known as "Byte code," which is an intermediate language.
The Python interpreter is invoked by executing bytes of code in the Python Virtual Machine (PVM). PVM is a Python virtual machine (PVM) that turns bytecode into machine code. If there is a problem with the interpretation, the conversion will be interrupted and an error notice will be displayed.
Congratulations for completing your first program. Beginners who want to learn Python can benefit greatly from this guide. To get the most out of this lesson, you may want to play around with the Print function a little more and discover more features that were not covered.
The printed circuit board is a type of plastic where electrical and electronic components lie, laminated and fixed. In modern days, there has been increasing in the complexity of electronic components and devices and this has also led to high demand for more complex PCBs that can make this achievable. This exclusive board that has been introduced in the market includes HDI, rigid-flex, Aluminium clad, buried and blind or even a blend of all the listed types.
There is a list of so many PCB types that a designer can choose for any type of electronic project ranging from single layer PCB to other complex types like the multilayered PCBs. In general, the simplest type of PCB contains copper tracks and interconnection between the elements and components on one side of the board. These types of boards are classified as single-sided boards or one-layer side of boards. However, there are other types of boards that are complicated and will require complex methods to do their designs. These boards are probably double-layered or even multilayered.
Multilayered boards are such complex boards that will require advanced technology for their manufacturing. This is where HDI boards come into play. HDI stands for High-Density Interconnect Boards. When addressing high density interconnect boards, we are focused on higher wiring density, the smaller vias, the thinner spaces and the higher pad density that accompany this type of board. This type of board has a lot of advantages over the typical circuit boards.
HDI PCBs use vias and laser-drilled microvias to connect components between different multilayers. The microvias are the most preferred to offer the connections because they are much smaller and very effective when it comes to space utilization.
This can be either buried or blind vias which have a very important function of connecting circuits between different layers of the printed circuit board and in this case across three or more circuit layers as shown in the figure below;
They can either be blind or buried but they are conical in shape. They are vert small and they still do the function of connecting circuits between layers of the PCB as shown in the figure below.
When we have vias of a certain PCB layer connected without overlapping, they actually form a staggered via as shown in the figure below.
They are conical in shape but they are connected without overlapping hence forming a staggering structure as shown in the figure below;
This are vias that are connected to the pad where component is lied. They are very common in HDI PCBs.
There are mainly two structures that aren used in the manufacturing of the HDI;
This is the basic structure of the high-density interconnect PCB and uses the manual mechanical drilling as well as the laser drilling.
This is an advanced technology that is used in the manufacturing of the HDI PCBs. The method is highly preserved for the high-level interconnection use since we can make connection of any of the two layers of the PCB without any form of restrictions. This means that any-layer connection has a lot of flexibility when it comes to doing these connections.
This technology has found great importance in the smartphone and the tablet manufacturing. Apart from that, they have become of great use in the laptops and desktop computers. The following id the great benefits of the HDI PCBs;
These types of boards have found many areas of use in the modern world of technology. Let us have a look at a few areas where the high-density interconnect boards are used;
Due to the smaller size of the HDI boars, medical designers have found great interest in this type of board. The medicals equipment are compatible with HDI because they are very small and can fit into them for example in implants and also in the imaging equipment. The equipment play a very significant role in the treatment of the ailments and therefore smaller chips that require less intervention have to be used. Let us take an example of a heart pacemaker that is implanted in the heart to regulate the speed of the heart bit. The pacemaker should be very tiny and therefore the HDI has provided boards that can solve the size of the pacemaker issue. another good example is the colonoscopy which is passed through the colon of a human to carry out the colon examination. It is evident through research that so many people avoid the colonoscopy examination due to the painful experience but the availability of the HDI technology has drastically reduced the size of the camera and improved the visual quality of the same camera which has made the colonoscopy process less painful hence triggering the increased number of people searching for the service.
Military use strategic equipment such as the missile and some other defense communication devices. This equipment utilizes the HDI technology in their boards since it is the only efficient available method. there have been greater changes in the aerospace technology and HDI have always provide the need solution. Communication devices such as the wireless pones and trackers are becoming very tiny in size and this is due to the involvement of too many tiny layers of the HDI boards.
The car and other automotive manufacturers are falling in love with the HDI boards simply because with this type of board you are assured of greater discoveries and innovations. This boards allows the saving of more space in the vehicle and also have an increased performance of the same vehicle. To be specific, Tesla uses the HDI technology to run the electric car system where it helps in extending the battery life of the system. Other driver assistants such as cameras, tables etc fit on the dashboard without much problems.
Let us make a comparison of todays digital devices like the smartphone with what we had 10 years ago and you will make note that there is a very big improvement in size, thickness and weight. This has been made possible by the use of the HDI boards in this area. Thinner and more compatible smartwatches are also a product of the HDI boards.
Hi friends, today we are going to explore mathematical computations in ladder logic. Like in any programing language you should find logic and mathematic computations, here in PLC programming you often need to process the input data that is collected from reading analog devices like temperature, level, flow et cetera. Then you need to run some calculations on this data to derive some other variables for deciding to run or stop some device or even to determine analog output to output to analog device i.e. valve or actuators. In the following sections, we are going to explore the mathematical functions and their input operators and outputs as well. Then we will show how to utilize such functions in ladder logic with simple examples and as usual enjoy practicing them thanks to the PLC simulator.
You may find some minor changes in the set of mathematical functions from brand to brand of PLC controllers. However, you will find in most of them are common in every controller. For example, you will find the basic mathematical functions are available like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, negation by applying two’s complement, modulus, increment and decrement, absolute, maximum, and minimum. In addition, trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, tangent are included. Let us go over these functions and explore their operators and output and how they can be utilized in PLC ladder logic programming.
For all these functions, they have input operators and one or more returned outputs. Most of them have two inputs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. While some have only one input parameter like negating function, maximum, and minimum. And they all have only one input. Table 1 lists all these functions and their input operators and output.
Table 1: the functions’ input parameters and outputs
It is very important to be familiar with the type of data you are trying to process using these mathematical functions. So, simply you just need to know that the smallest size data type is a bool data type which is true or false or “1” or “0” and it uses only one single bit. Then character “char” or byte data type which is 8 bits while word data type is formed of 2 bytes or 16 bits and that is the word size in PLC. Also, there are doubleword data types that occupy 4 bytes or 32 bits. Moving to mathematical data types there are integer data types that can be stored in one word and the double integer “DINT” which can be stored in two words or 32 bit for holding numbers up to = 4294967296 for unsigned integers and half of that value for signed integers. Also, there is a real data type for holding numbers with floating-point. It needs 2 words or 32 bits and for a long real LREAL data type extends to 4 words or 64 bits.
In the TIA portal for siemens, there are two ways to add mathematical functions in a rung of ladder logic program. Figure 1 shows the first method which uses an empty box in the block interface and then you can select the function and its inputs and outputs parameters.
Fig. 1: Adding an empty box for including math functions
Figure 2 shows a list of functions from which you can choose the mathematical function you want to use.
Fig. 2: A list of math functions to select
Figure 3 shows another way to add a mathematical function by going to the basic instructions and then going over the math functions on the most right part of the window as shown and selecting the function you want to use.
Fig. 3: The second way to add a mathematical function
Figure 4 shows how to define the input and output parameters of the used mathematical function. For example, in figure two input parameters are defined as the function’s input operators which are literal number five and variable “x” which is predefined as an integer in the variable declaration section in the middle top section. Also, the Variable sum is defined as an integer. So the add function will add X to 5 and assign the result to variable Sum.
Fig. 4: Defining function parameters and outputs
In this example, we are going to show how mathematical functions can be used in a ladder logic program and also show the simulation results. As in fig. 5, we design a simple calculator that uses the mathematical functions and each function can be triggered by a switch on a contact that is connected in series to the enable line of the function box.
Figure 5 shows an additional example in ladder logic. It shows two operators A and B of integer data types. The variable A is located at address MW2 and variable B is located at address MW4 while the result is stored in variable RES which is located at address MW6. All of these variables are of type integer and size one word or 32 bits. The figure show simulation results on the PLC simulator and shows the RES variable holds summation of A and B.
Fig. 5: Addition function example
Figure 6 shows a subtraction example in ladder logic. It shows two operators A and B of integer data types. The variable A is located at address MW2 and variable B is located at address MW4 while the result is stored in variable RES which is located at address MW6. All of these variables are of type integer and size one word or 32 bits. The figure shows simulation results before triggering the subtraction function on the PLC simulator. So, the RES variable holds zero before enabling the function.
Fig. 6: Subtraction function example not triggered
Figure 7 shows the simulation results after enabling the subtraction by switch or the “SUB” command contact. The Res variable now reflects the results of subtraction.
Fig. 7: Subtraction function example in ladder logic programming
Similarly, Fig. 8 shows an example for performing the multiplication process. First, the “MUL” is selected and two input operators of multiplications are given and output. The simulation result shows the RES variable holds the result of multiplication of the input operators.
Fig. 8: Multiplication function example in ladder logic programming
Similarly, Fig. 9 shows an example for performing the Division process. The “DIV” is selected as an instruction to be executed and two input operators of division are provided and output. The simulation result shows the RES variable holds the result of the division of the input operators.
Fig. 9: Division function example after triggering
Similarly, Fig. 10 shows an example for performing the MOD function process. The MOD function determines the remainder of the division process, in this example we are dividing 25 by 10 which gives 2, and the remainder of 5. “MOD” function firstly is selected as an instruction to be executed and two input operators of MOD function are provided and output. The simulation result shows the RES variable holds the remainder of the division of the input operators.
Fig. 10: MOD function example in ladder logic programming
Now, one may ask how I need to do the calculation in form of an equation that has many processes? This is a very smart question! Many programming tools support this, fortunately. For example, in Siemens, there is a function called “calculate” which can take two inputs and perform mathematical equations on these two variables and return the result in an output variable as shown in Fig. 11. It shows the function which is called “CALCULATE” and it has two inputs “IN1” and “IN2” and one output “OUT”. I triggered the help to show you an example that states OUT can be determined from the equation in inputs and also shows all functions that can be used including logic and mathematical functions. So we can use this function, in general, to act like any mathematical or logical function separately or by combining two or more functions in one equation.
Fig. 11: Using equations in ladder logic
As you can see in the given example in fig. 12, the output variable can be determined based on multiplying the summation and subtraction of the input parameters as an equation. The result of the program is validated with a calculator.
Fig. 12: Using equations in ladder logic
There is another way to perform combine many mathematical functions as shown in fig. 13. As you can notice, the output variable “out” can be determined by multiplying the summation of input variables “in1” and “in2” by “in1”.
Fig. 13: Combination mathematical function in ladder logic
Negate function is one example of a single operator function in ladder logic programming. it reverses the sign of the input variable. For instance, fig. 14 shows an example of converting the sign of input variables “in1” to show the negative value reflected in the result in “res”.
Fig. 14: Single operator mathematical function in ladder logic programming
Figure 15 shows an example of getting the absolute of variable “RES” and saving it in variable “b”.
Fig. 15: Absolute function in ladder logic
Getting minimum and maximum is one of the most frequently used in the mathematical operation. Figure 16 shows an example for getting a minimum of two input variables “in1” and “in2” while fig. 17 shows an instance of getting the maximum of two input variables as well.
Fig. 16: Getting a minimum of two input variables in ladder logic programming
Fig. 17: Getting a maximum of two input variables in ladder logic programming
One of the most commonly used functions is incrementing and decrementing one variable. For example, the counter variable all the time gets incremented and decremented through the logic of the program. Figure 18 shows an example for decrementing and incrementing an input variable. First, the initial value of the variable was 15, and then after incrementing it. The variable became 6 and then by applying decrementing operation it return to 5. It is very crucial to notice that, the user variable in increment and decrement operation works as input and output at the same time. Therefore, you can see in the increment and decrement blocks, it is defined as input-output “input”.
Fig. 18: Increment and decrement operation in ladder logic
Now, let us use one of the very useful functions to secure a variable at specific limits. Figure 19 shows an example of limiting the value of one variable “in” to be sited between the specified minimum and maximum values. In that very example, the input variable has had a value of 5 and because it exceeds the set limit of maximum it is set to 4 which is the maximum allowed value to the variable thanks to the limit function.
Fig. 19: limiting variable in ladder logic programming
Also, trigonometric functions like sine and cosine and other related functions can be executed in ladder logic. Figure 20 shows one example of how to use a sine function in ladder logic. The first rung in the example shows how to convert the degree into rad thanks to mathematical functions multiply and division. Ultimately, the sin function block is used to determine the sine of the given angle in rad.
Fig. 20: Triogonometrical function in ladder logic programming
I am so happy that you be that patient to reach these points of tutorial and you know got familiar with most of the mathematical functions and how to use them flexibly through your program. The next round will go with the comparison operators and more deeply in mathematical logic flow using operators such as >,<,>=,<=, and ==. So please be ready for our next session of that ladder logic tutorial.
The first step to becoming a Python coder is to install or update Python on your computer. Python can be installed in a variety of ways, including through the official Python.org distribution, a software package manager, the IoT (Internet of Things) and scientific computing, just to name a few.
In this article, we'll be using official Python distributions, which are often the best option for beginners.
Installing the most recent versions of Python and the packages you'll need to experiment with is a good place to start when learning Python. To create an environment, you need a certain Python version, as well as the necessary packages. Consequently, separate environments are required if you wish to create or utilize apps that have varied Python or package version needs.
Python's virtual environment is a valuable tool for managing dependencies and separating projects. It's possible to install Python site packages (third-party libraries) in a specific project directory rather than the entire system Python.
On Windows, there are three installation options:
You'll learn how to check the current release of Python installed on your Windows machine in this section. You'll also discover which of the three installation options is best for you.
Step 1: Install Python based on your choice of version.
Python 2 and Python 3 are available, each with its syntax and way of doing things.
Here we are going to download python 3 for this course.
Step 2: Download an executable installation file for Python.
Open on your browser and head to the python.org website. On this page click on downloads. Here you can find the latest version of python. Choose the version you require and click Download. For this example, we go with Python 3.10.2.
When you select download, a list of available executable installers with varied operating system requirements will appear. Select the installer that best suits your system's operating system and download it. Let's say we go with the Windows installer (64 bits).
Step 3: Run the Installer Script
If the Python 3.10.2 Windows 64-bit installation was downloaded, run the installation program by double clicking it. Make sure both checkboxes at the bottom are selected before clicking Install New.
Now installation process begins when you click the Install Now button. Wait for a few minutes for installation process to finish.
you should see the screen below if the installation is complete. Now you have python installed in your computer.
Step 4: On Windows, check to see if Python is installed.
To see if Python has been installed successfully on your system. Observe the instructions.
When installing python in Linux distros, there are two ways involved:
You'll find out how to know if your Linux computer has a current version of Python in this section and which of the two installation techniques should you choose?
Many Linux versions include Python, but it is unlikely to be the most recent update, and it may even be Python 2 rather than Python 3. Try the following command in a terminal window:
$ python –version
If you have Python installed on your computer, this command should return a version number.
If your current Python version isn't the most recent Python 3 version available, you'll want to upgrade.
Step 1: Installing Python requires first downloading and installing the necessary development packages
A new version of Debian has been released; therefore, we need to update our old version to the new one.
Open the terminal in your Linux machine. Then run “apt update” in your Linux terminal to update the system before you begin installing python. Then, run "apt-get upgrade" in your terminal to upgrade the system.
then, run " apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev \libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev \libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev curl" to install the build essentials.
Step 2: Download the most recent version
Navigate to your browser in python.org and click on downloads. You will see the latest version of python with a download button, but this is the windows version, instead, navigate to the Linux/UNIX link below it to download the Linux version.
Download the most recent version of Python3 from the official Python website.
You will receive an archive file ("tarball") containing Python's source code when the download is complete.
Step 3: Unzip the tarball folder to a convenient location.
A tar.gz file is a collection of compressed files that may be downloaded in order to conserve space and bandwidth. The tarball, another name for the.tar file, is a container for other files that may be carried about on a flash drive. Because of the extension, gzip is the most extensively used compression application in use. These files can be unzipped in the same way as a standard zipped file:
Run “tar –xvzf a.tar.gz” in the terminal to unzip.
Step 4: The downloaded script must be configured.
Type cd Python-3.*. /configure in your terminal once you've unzipped the Python package and press enter.
Step 5: Begin the build procedure
Use this command below if you need to install an updated version alongside the old version in case you don`t want to delete the old one:
$ sudo make install
Step 6: Verify that the installation is working properly.
Open your terminal and type command below and click enter.
python --version
Python3 has been successfully installed once the output says Python 3.x.
Congratulations! For your system, now you have access to the most recent update of Python. Your Python adventure is just getting started.

In this project, we will need two softwares first is the Arduino IDE which is used for Arduino programming. As we are going to make this project in simulation, we will use Proteus simulation software. Proteus is a simulation software for electronics projects. In this software, we can run the real time simulation of electronics circuits and debug them without damaging any real components.
And it is a good practice to make any circuit in the simulation first if we do that for the first time.
And Proteus has a very large database for electronics components but it lacks some new component libraries, for that we have to install some libraries for those components. In this, we have to install a library for the Arduino UNO module.
We should first download the Arduino UNO library.
We will need the following components for this project
As we know counters are simple electronic circuits which count some values and after reaching the maximum value they will reset. In this project, we will make an Up-Down counter which means our counter will count from 0-9 and again after 9-0.
We will use the 7 segment display for showing the counter values. In this project, we have used the common ground type of LED display. And two push buttons to start the counter in up counting or in down counting. When we press the UP push button, then the Arduino will activate the pins as per the up counting and LED will display numbers from 0-9 and when we press the DOWN push button then the Arduino will activate the pin as per the down counting and LED will display numbers from 9-0.
To control the LEDs, Arduino will set the pins as HIGH and LOW as per the truth table for the common ground display.
Arduino will set the pins and LED will display the numbers.
Now we know the working of our counter so let’s make the circuit for the same:
Now we will start writing the code of the Up-Down counter. The code of this project will be divided into three major parts. In the first part, we will declare all the required variables and pins. In the second part, we will set the modes of pins and set the initial states to pins and do the required configuration if needed and the last part we will write our main functionality of our project which we want to run continually.
After the circuit and the coding part, we are all set to run the simulation:
I hope we have covered all the points related to this project. I think it will be a useful project for learning purposes and gives an understanding about working of counters. Please let us know in the comment section if you have faced any issues while making this project.
Thanks for reading this article. See you in the next project.
Greetings! I sincerely hope everything is going well for you all. In this course, we are going to learn step-by-step how to program in Python. The course covers all you need to know about the Python language, from installation to advanced topics. In addition, we'll talk about Python career jobs and do a few projects to strengthen your skills. According to my research, Python is among the top programming languages in use today. (I mean, no offense). Since I am also a Python programmer, I may sound a little prejudiced, but I can certainly declare that I am a huge fan of the language. This tutorial series is meant for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of python programming, it is also of great help for experienced python programmers looking to brush up on their knowledge. Anyway, let’s start by answering a few questions:
Python is a high-level scripting language for system administration, text processing, and web tasks. Its core language is short and easy to learn, while modules can be added to do a virtually infinite number of functions. It is a genuine object-oriented programming language that runs on a wide range of systems. Python was born out of a desire to build a computer language that was both easy to learn for beginners and powerful enough for advanced users. Python's small, crisp syntax reflects this background, as does the thoroughness with which notions are implemented, without removing the flexibility to program in a more traditional approach. As a result, Python is a fantastic first programming language that provides all of the power and advanced capabilities that users will require in the future. Most experienced programmers claim that Python has restored the fun they normally had during programming, suggesting that van Rossum's inspiration is adequately conveyed in the language itself.
Even those, who aren't computer programmers, have found themselves using it, to perform mundane tasks like raising money because of its relatively low learning curve.
Building a system that is easy to maintain and update requires careful consideration of the quality of the program code. Because of the language's syntactic rules, you may express yourself in Python without writing any more code. With Python, you may use English phrases instead of punctuation, which makes it easier to understand than other computer languages. You don't have to write any more code when using Python to create custom apps. If the code is well-structured, it will make it easier to keep and improve the product.
Code written in this programming language may be executed on a variety of systems and tools thanks to interpreters for this language. When it comes to creating dynamic web pages, Python is also an interpreted programming language. '" There's no need to recompile the application to operate on many operating systems. As a result, changing the code doesn't require recompilation. You don't need to recompile the updated application code to see how the changes affect it. Code updates may be made more rapidly and without increasing development time by using this feature.
Python outweighs other languages because of its vast and robust standard library. You can select from a wide choice of modules in the standard library to meet your specific requirements. If you're building web apps, dealing with operating system interfaces, or working with internet protocols, you can make use of specific packages. The documentation for the Python Standard Library can also help you learn about different modules.
As an open-source coding language, Python can lower software development costs significantly. Some of the Python modules, libraries, and development tools, all of which are open-source and free, may help you get things done faster. Open-source Python development tools are also available, so you may tailor your project to your exact needs. Flask, Pyramid, and Cherrypy are some of the best Python frameworks for web development.
Python may be used to build both desktop and web-based applications. Python may also be used to create complex scientific and numerical applications. Easy-to-use Python capabilities make it possible to perform data analysis and visualizations. Data analysis tools can be used to construct custom big data solutions without requiring additional effort or time. You may make your collected data more visually attractive and useful by utilizing its data visualization tools and APIs. Many Python programmers also use Python for AI and NLP jobs.
This programming language is used for cloud computing, web and software development, as well as task automation and data analysis.
Since everything is stored in the cloud, you may access it at any time and from anywhere. Web-based software may be used without any installation, an application can be hosted online, and a remote file storage and database system built using cloud computing can be set up. For that purpose, we have different modules like raspberry pi and ESP32 or ESP8266 boards which use python.
The ESP32 is the latest sibling of the ESP8266, which is a microcontroller. For a nominal additional fee, it boosts the device's power and capabilities while also including Bluetooth. The M5 Stack is one of the greatest iterations of these boards. Piezo speakers, batteries, a card reader, and a color screen are all included in this device.
Python has a big and active community of developers that respond to concerns and build new features at a pace that many commercial software developers would consider exceptional (if not downright shocking). A source-control system is used by Python programmers to coordinate their work remotely. The PEP (Python Enhancement Proposal) procedure must be followed and must be accompanied by improvements to Python's sophisticated regression testing infrastructure for any changes. A far cry from the early days of Python, when an email to the author would suffice, altering Python nowadays is about as complicated as upgrading commercial software. This is a good thing given Python's present vast user base.
Python is installed on Windows in a few simple procedures.
Step 1: Install Python based on your choice of version.
Python 2 and Python 3 are available, each with its syntax and way of doing things.

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to start a new tutorial series on Raspberry Pi 4. It's our first lecture today, so I will explain the basics of Raspberry Pi boards.
In this tutorial series, I will teach you each and everything about Raspberry Pi and its programming. I have designed this guide for beginners, so we will start from the very basics and will slowly move toward complex concepts. Python programming language is used in Raspberry Pi boards, so we will study Python as well.
So, we will learn both programming and hardware circuit designing in this tutorial series. Let's first have a look at What is Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi is a series of Single Board Computer, developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in England, to teach computer science in schools. When you buy the Raspberry Pi board, you only get the board. There are other components i.e. power adapter, HDMI cable and memory card etc. required to run the Raspberry Pi board. After these basic components are provided, the operating system must be installed on the Micro SD card.
A Single board computer(such as Raspberry Pi) is a computer that contains basic units i.e. ram memory, input-output unit, microprocessor but unlike normal computers, it is not possible to expand the hardware features. For example, it does not contain a SLOT to increase the RAM memory from 1GB to 2GB. Since Raspberry Pi is designed as a single board and does not have a structure open to development for extra hardware to be installed on it, its cost is quite low. Single-board computers are not used as personal computers but are used in engineering projects where heavy computing is required i.e. robotics, IoT, image processing etc.
Components i.e. memory, video card, network card, sound card etc. are usually integrated on-board in a single-board computer. The operating system is installed on the Micro SD card. Pictured is the Dyna-micro MMD1, the first single-board computer produced in 1976.
There are many alternatives to Raspberry Pi i.e. Orange Pi, Banana Pi, Asus Tinker Board etc. When examined in terms of features, Raspberry Pi boards are preferred, thanks to the community support behind them, even if the hardware features of the alternatives are better.
The official operating system of the Raspberry Pi card is Raspberry Pi OS, but other operating systems can also be installed on Raspberry Pi boards.
Raspberry Pi 4 is the latest version and it allows the use of both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
There is a processor with ARM architecture on the Raspberry Pi. The processor is based on the RISC(reduced instruction set computer) architecture developed by Advanced RISC Machines(ARM).
Figure 4: Raspberry pi 4 -4gb version
ARM-based processors are used in mobile devices, handheld terminals, mobile phones, media players, calculators, disk drives, VCDs, DVDs, cameras and even cars. To give a percentage, 75% of 32-bit processors in the world are ARM-based processors. The reason why this architecture is so preferred is the power saving, low cost and performance features of ARM-based processors.
Figure 5: The processor used in the Raspberry pi4 version is a BCM2711-ARm based processor.
The table shows the hardware comparison of all raspberry pi boards ever produced.
When you buy the Raspberry Pi card, a power adapter and Micro SD card are needed to run the card and load the operating system into it. For Raspberry Pi 3 and previous versions, the power adapter must be micro-USB compatible and at least 2 Amps and 5 Volts. For Raspberry Pi 4 and above versions, the power adapter must be USB-Type C and at least 2.5 Amps.
Figure 7: Raspberry Pi 4 power adapter
Figure 8: While the USB-Type C connection shown on the left is used for Raspberry Pi 4, the micro USB connection is used for previous version cards.
Figure 9A microSD card is needed to install an operating system. It is recommended to use a Class 10 type card.
HDMI cable is used to interface card, monitor/display, keyboard, mouse etc. with Raspberry Pi 3 and previous versions, while micro HDMI cable is required for Raspberry Pi 4.
Raspberry Pi 4 has a vast range of applications because of its portability, ability to produce integrated
solutions, ram memory, internet connection, processor speed etc.
Few applications of Raspberry Pi 4:
Installing an operating system on the Raspberry Pi card to use it required. A minimum 8GB Micro SD card is required to install the Raspberry Pi OS operating system. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
You can install the 32-bit or 64-bit raspbian os operating system on the Raspberry pi card. Especially if you have the Raspberry pi 4 8GB version, it would be appropriate to choose 64 bit OS. Because with a 32-bit operating system, you can only use up to 4GB of the RAM memory of the raspberry pi.
Figure 10: Preferable operating systems for raspberry pi 4
In Raspberry Pi OS installation, the image file (iso extension) must be downloaded to the computer and installed on the micro SD card via Win32 Disk Imager or a program that does the same job. In this step, we will examine how to upload the image file to the microSD card.
The first step is to download the appropriate version of the imager application for our operating system to the PC.
https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ When we log in to the address, the imager application can be downloaded by clicking the "download for windows" button.
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/imager/imager_latest.exe
Installation Steps:Figure 11: Raspberry pi imager application screen
In the first step, the operating system selection button is clicked. Select the operating system from the pop-up window. Here I prefer Raspbian os 32 bit operating system. If you want, you can choose other operating systems that you can use for different purposes from this menu.
Figure 12: Choose OS screen
If you want the operating system and all the applications that need to be installed on the raspberry pi, you can choose the Full version. For this, the Raspberry pi os (Other) tab is selected. Raspberry pi os Full tab is selected from the window that opens.
Figure 13: full version raspbian os 32 bit version selection
The settings button can be seen in the lower right corner of the opening screen. By clicking this button, we can change various settings that the raspberry pi will need during installation.
Figure 14: The required settings can be changed during installation using the settings button.
Many settings can be made, such as activating the SSH connection, wifi connection settings, entering the user name and password.
If you do not have hardware for raspberry pi at the time of installation, such as monitor, keyboard, mouse, it is enough that your raspberry pi and your personal computer are connected to the same network. ssh connection can be used for this purpose. Thanks to the wifi setting we will make in the settings section, we can provide a remote connection to the raspberry pi card, which is on the same network as your pc.
Figure 15: Setup settings window
2-Select microSD Card: Your microsd card must be formatted in fat32 format.
3-Write Button : All files in your selected microsd card will be deleted and after the work is finished, you will receive the operating system loaded.
In this section, the installation of the “Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended software” version will be explained. In other versions, there are not some applications to be used as many packages have been removed to reduce the size. The MU Editor application will be used for programming the Raspberry Pi board. This application is only available in the "Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended software" version. In addition, applications such as Scratch are only available in this version for the user to use.
For installation, the file must be downloaded and extracted from the compressed folder. Looking at the extracted file, it will be seen that the file is a mirror file.
Figure 16: Raspberry Pi disk image (ISO file)
After downloading your preferred iso file to your computer, you need a program that will allow you to install your operating system on your sd card. For this purpose, you can choose the win32 imager application. Download this application from https://win32diskimager.org/#download and install it on your computer.
Figure 17: Writing .img file to sd card.
After the image file is loaded on the SD card, the operating system can be started by inserting the SD card into the Raspberry Pi.
