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 you all are doing well. Welcome to the 9th tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the last chapter, we generated a PWM signal from our Raspberry Pi to control the brightness of an LED. We also studied different functions used in Python to perform PWM. In this chapter, we'll get a bit advanced with PWM and use it to control the speed and direction of a DC motor with the help of a motor driver IC.
To control the speed & direction of the DC Motor, we will:
Design a Circuit Diagram.Write Python code.
Components RequiredWe will use the following components to control the DC motor speed:
Raspberry Pi 4.DC Motor.Motor driver IC(L293D).Breadboard.
Jumper wires.
Controlling DC Motor speed wi ...
Throughout our lives, we've relied on Radio and tv stations to keep us engaged. While we're on the subject of contradictions, it's also fair to say that these Stations can become tedious at times due to the RJ rambling on about nothing or annoying advertisements, and this may have left you wondering why you can't own a Radio station to broadcast your data over short distances.
Almost any electronics technician uses coils and other hardware to make an FM transmitter, although the tuning process is time-consuming and difficult. Setting up your FM station and going live in your neighborhood shouldn't take more than 30 minutes using an RPi. If you use the right antenna, you must be able to transmit to your school or community within 50 meters. Wow, th ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Welcome to the 11th lecture of Section-III in the Raspberry Pi 4 Programming Series. In the previous tutorial, we discussed the interfacing of the Fingerprint sensor with Raspberry Pi 4. Today, we are going to discuss another sensor named the Pulse rate sensor and will interface it with Raspberry Pi 4.The field of healthcare monitoring has long been seen as a potential use
case for IoT i.e. examining the health
instead of regular checkups and local doctors. Using sensors,
your vital signs can be monitored and transmitted in real time, allowing
a physician on the other side or even an AI to analyze the data and
provide an accurate diagnosis. That does seem somewhat futuristic.
However, we are making steady progress in that direction ...
Welcome to the next tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. Our previous tutorial taught us to configure our raspberry pi for voice control. We also discussed some methods of reducing vexing noises so that the voice command program understands you. However, in this lesson, we will learn how to tweet from Raspberry pi.
What will we learn?
Assume you wish to add tweeting into a Raspberry Pi software you're developing. This article will show you how to build a Twitter app, get access privilege tokens, and post a tweet. On our Raspberry Pi, we'll make a simple program that tweets the result of the uptime command. This is a made-up example, but it demonstrates what is needed to tweet from a raspberry pi.
For this session, a repo has been set up. Because we'll be referring to code wit ...
Welcome to the next tutorial of our raspberry pi four programming course. Before, we saw how to connect a Raspberry Pi 4 to a relay with four independent channels. To complement the relay circuit, we programmed a python script to turn on and off a single bulb. However, in this tutorial, we'll show you how to connect a GPS module to a Raspberry Pi 4.
Raspberry Pi 4, one of the most popular embedded platforms, has made it simple for developers to obtain location data via a GPS module, allowing them to create devices with a greater reliance on precise positioning. Because of the Raspberry Pi's impressive processing capabilities, this essay focuses on the exciting prospect of creating GPS-based projects using the same inexpensive GPS chips.
Since thi ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing well. Today, I am going to share the 4th chapter of Section-III in our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the previous lecture, we studied the Interfacing of IR sensor with Raspberry Pi 4. In this guide, you'll learn how to interface a PIR sensor with Raspberry Pi to create a motion detector. A passive infrared (PIR) sensor is a straightforward yet effective tool for motion detection.
As a bonus, a piezo speaker will play an audio clip whenever motion is detected. GPIO pins are required for both of these accessories. This tutorial is a great starting point for those who have never worked with electronic components and circuits.
These sensors are used in traditional, old-generation security
systems. In con ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share the 6th lecture in the Raspberry Pi 4 Programming series. We're glad you could join us for another lesson in our comprehensive Raspberry Pi programming guide. In today's guide, I'll show you how to interface a 16x2 LCD screen with Raspberry Pi 4.
So, let's get started:Interface LCD 16x2 with Raspberry Pi 4Today, we are going to interface a 16x2 LCD screen with Raspberry Pi 4. At first, we will print the "Hello World" text on the LCD, and in the last section, we will implement the scrolling and blinking of text on the LCD.Here's the video tutorial on LCD interfacing with Raspberry Pi 4:Components RequiredWe will need the following components for today's project:Raspberry Pi 4.M ...
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. In today's lecture, we will discuss one of the most advanced Embedded Microprocessors i.e. Raspberry Pi 5. At the time of this writing, Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest board designed in the Raspberry Pi series. Raspberry Pi 5 is designed by a UK-based charity foundation named Raspberry Pi Foundation. Initially, these boards were designed for students and hobbyists but because of their compact design and advanced features, they became popular among embedded engineers, especially for IoT Systems. Raspberry Pi boards can be used for simple tasks i.e. word processing, web browsing etc., and in the complex fields of robotics, multimedia
centers, home automation, etc.
In today's lecture, we will first dis ...
Welcome to the next tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. Our previous tutorial taught us to make a button-controlled "music box" that plays different sounds depending on which buttons are pressed. In this lesson, we will configure our raspberry pi for voice control.
What will you learn?
Like the Amazon Echo, voice-activated gadgets are becoming increasingly popular, but you can also construct your own with a Raspberry, a cheap USB mic, and some appropriate software. Simply speaking to your Raspberry Pi will allow you to search YouTube, view websites, activate applications, and even answer inquiries.
What will you need?
Because the Raspberry Pi lacks a soundcard or audio port, this project requires a USB microphone or a camera with a ...
