Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we discussed the implementation of pulse width modulation (PWM) in Raspberry Pi Pico using the MicroPyton programming example. We also implemented the LED brightness control program to demonstrate an application of the pulse width modulation technique.
In this tutorial, we are going to implement another application of pulse width modulation technique which is ‘Direction and position control of a servo motor’ with Raspberry Pi Pico module and MicroPython programming language.
Later in this tutorial, we will also discuss how to control the position of a servo motor with push buttons (to be used as control inputs) and also to use LEDs for indication purposes.
What is Servo Motor?
Before interfacing the servo motor with ...
Hello friends, I hope all are fine. Today, we are going to share the 3rd chapter of Section-III in our Raspberry Pi Programming Course. In our previous lecture, we interfaced the Soil Moisture Sensor with Raspberry Pi 4. Today, we are going to Interface the Infrared(IR) sensor with RPi4. IR Sensor is typically employed for the presence/motion detection of objects in the immediate area. With their low power consumption, straightforward design, and user-friendly features, IR sensors are a popular choice for detection purposes. Infrared(IR) impulses are invisible to the naked eye and lie between the visible and microwave parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. So let's get started:
Components Required
To learn how an IR sensor detects the existence o ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, we are going to start a new section in our Raspberry Pi Programming Course. In this section-VIII, we will implement advance protocols in the RPi4 board. Today's our first lecture in this section and we are going to interface a USB Bar Code Scanner with Raspberry Pi 4.If you have visited any big grocery store, you must have seen, it's
quite important as well as difficult to maintain the products in stock
at all times. To ease the job, barcode technology is used because it can
easily maintain an organized database of your items, costs, and
inventory levels in one convenient location. Price changes can be
implemented whenever you desire without requiring new labels for
previously packaged goods. You can tell exactly when your s ...
The Internet of Things (IoT) philosophy may be viewed as a highly dynamic and radically dispersed networked system comprised of a huge number of identifiable smart devices. These objects may communicate and interact with one another, as well as with end-users and other network entities. As the Internet of Things era begins, the usage of small, inexpensive, and flexible computer hardware that allows end-user programming becomes more prevalent. The Raspberry Pi, a fully configurable and programmable tiny computer board, is one of them discussed in this article. Although there are certain limitations, the Raspberry Pi remains a low-cost computer that has been used effectively in a wide range of IoT vision research applications despite its few shortcomings.

Hi Folks! I welcome you on board. Today, I am sharing the 2nd
tutorial in the Raspberry Pi 4 learning series. In this post today,
we’ll cover What is Raspberry Pi 4?
Raspberry Pi 4 Pinout, Specs, Projects, Datasheet etc.
Raspberry
Pi 4 is a tiny dual-display single-board computer, developed by
Raspberry Pi Foundation. This foundation has introduced a series of
Raspberry Pi boards to teach computer basics in schools.
With Raspberry Pi 4, you can control two monitors at once. Moreover, it
is incorporated with a quad-core processor that is powerful and comes
with more speed compared to its predecessors.
I suggest you read this post till the end as I’ll cover Raspberry Pi 4
in detail.
Let’s get started.

Hello friends, I hope you all are going great. Today, I am going to share the 10th tutorial of Section-III in our Raspberry Pi Programming Course. In our previous tutorial, we interfaced a Gas Sensor MQ-2 with Raspberry Pi 4. Today, we will be interfacing a Fingerprint Sensor with Raspberry Pi today.
After appearing only in science fiction films until recently, fingerprint sensors are often employed to confirm an individual's identity in various contexts. Today, fingerprint-based systems are used for everything from checking in at the office to verifying an employee's identity at the bank, withdrawing cash from an ATM, and proving one's identity at a government agency. For identifying purposes, fingerprint-detecting technology has been used for so ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. It's the 8th tutorial in our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the previous lectures, we interfaced LCD 16x2 and Keypad 4x4 with Raspberry Pi 4. In this chapter, we are not going to interface any external module with Pi, instead, we'll create a PWM signal in the raspberry pi using Python. Let's get started:
Components RequiredWe are going to use the below components in today's PWM project:
Raspberry Pi 4.
LED.
A resistor of 330 ohms.
Breadboard.
Jumper wires.Before going forward, let's first understand what is PWM:
What is PWM?
In PWM(Pulse Width Modulation), we simply turn on and off our power supply at regular intervals and thus ...
Welcome to the next tutorial of our raspberry pi programming tutorial. The previous tutorial showed us how to set up a weather station using the Internet of Things (IoT) on a Raspberry Pi 4. First, we studied how a weather station works on a fundamental level. Then we developed a Python script to collect data from the station. In contrast, we'll construct an automatic gate using a Raspberry Pi, a load cell, and an HX711 weight sensor.
These pressure-sensitive gates are common in shopping centers and showrooms; they open when someone is in the immediate vicinity and close again when the person is out of sight. Like the Automatic Gate, we just made, this one will open in response to weight or pressure and stay that way until the force is removed. If ...
This is the third tutorial in our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the previous chapter, we learned how to install Raspbian on our Raspberry Pi mini-computer. In this chapter, we'll learn how to use a VNC server to remotely control and see its desktop from our computer.
What is VNC?
Computing over a network is known as "virtual network computing," or "VNC." To remotely control another computer, you can use this screen-sharing technology, which works on all major operating systems. As a result, a remote user can interact with a computer's display (screen, keyboard, and mouse) as if they were sitting right in front of it.
VNC takes advantage of the client/server concept. Rather than installing a VNC s ...
Welcome to the next tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. Our previous tutorial taught us to set up a webserver in raspberry pi. We also looked at configuring addclient and deploying apps to our repositories. This tutorial will teach us to set up a free media server on Raspberry Pi.
Using a Raspberry Pi as a multimedia server requires:
An operating system and miniDLNA program installed on your Raspberry Pi,
You can attach various cleanly formatted and fragmented hard disks to your Raspberry Pi for storing and streaming media files.
A basic understanding of how to use a computer, Client-server architecture skills, familiarity with Unix terminal and Secure shell, and a passion for computing and the media are a must!
Even if you ...
