Welcome to the second chapter of our beginner's course on the Raspberry Pi. In the previous tutorial, we learned about the components of this little computer. We also considered its uses, as well as the most important advantages and disadvantages. Let's get started with setting up our little computer to run the Raspbian operating system in this lesson.
How to Install Raspbian using an imager
The next step is to make sure you have your board and SD card. The Raspberry Pi has an operating system because it is a full computer. For those who prefer a GUI desktop experience, a headless mode is still an option. Most people use Raspbian, a Debian-based operating system tailored specifically for the Raspberry Pi. However, there are other options. An exce ...
Hello geeks, welcome to our new project. Here, we are going to make a very useful project which we can use for ourselves or we can use this as a product as well on an industry level.
In this project, we are going to make a water level indicator. We all know it is one of the most essential products because there are many water tanks in every house or office, and most of them are not easily accessible to check the level of water in it and I think most of us faced the problem such as shortage of water as we do not have anything to monitor the exact amount of water available in the tank and this causes many problems on our daily lives.
Software to install
As we are going to make this project in the simulation first, for that, we will use the Proteus ...
Hello geeks, welcome to our new project. We are going to make an important project which will be very useful for us in our daily life which is a variable DC power supply. As engineers who work with electronics need different voltage ranges of DC power supply for different electronic projects and components. It becomes very clumsy and hard to manage different power supplies because of wires which are connected to it and each power supply consumes an extra power socket as well.
So in this project, we will overcome this issue and learn to make an adjustable DC power supply, in which we will get a wide range of voltages.
Software to install
We will make this project in the simulation, as it is a good practice to make any project in the simulation fir ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface the BMP280 sensor with the ES32 module to get temperature, pressure and altitude readings. Later, in this tutorial, we will also discuss how to upload these sensor readings to a web server.
BMP280
BMP280 or Barometric pressure sensor is a module used to measure temperature pressure and altitude. The small size and low power consumption feature of this sensor makes it feasible for battery-powered devices, GPS modules and mobile applications etc.
Fig. 1 BMP280 Sensor
The BMP280 is the product of BOSCH which is based on Bosch’s proven Piezo-resistive pressure sensor technology featured with high accuracy, long term stability, linearity and high EMC robus ...
Hi Friends! Glad to have you on board. Thank you for clicking this read. In this post today, I’ll walk you through Edge Computing vs Cloud Computing.
Cloud computing has been around for many years while edge computing, on the other hand, has just become the prime topic of mainstream organizations. But what is the key difference between both edge computing and cloud computing, how do they work, can we implement both in the IT model of any business? These are the main questions that arise every time someone tries to get a hold of these terms. Don’t worry. We’ll discuss them in detail so you know when to pick a cloud model and when to choose edge computing.
Keep reading.
Edge Computing vs Cloud Computing
Before we go further to describe the comparison between edge and cloud, know that, both ...
Hi Guys! Happy to see you around. Thank you for clicking this read. In this post today, I’ll walk you through Types of Cloud Computing.
Cloud computing is not a new term. Companies have been using this infrastructure for the past two decades. You might be familiar with this term, in case you don’t, cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computing resources over the internet. Simply put, you can process, store and manage a large amount of data using this architecture. The companies offering these services to end-users are called Cloud Service Providers (CSP). And most of these services offer the pay-as-you-go model which means you can ask for only those computing resources required for your business; you don’t pay for the resources you don’t use in the cloud computing model. This ...
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?
What is Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi is a series of Single Board Computer, developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in England, to teach co ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we discussed the installation procedure of Visual Studio Code for programming Raspberry Pi Pico.
We have already mentioned in our previous tutorials that RP2040 or Raspberry Pi Pico supports multiple programming languages like C/C++, Circuit python, MicroPython cross-platform development environments. Raspberry Pi Pico module consists of a built-in UF2 bootloader enabling programs to be loaded by drag and drop and floating-point routines are baked into the chip to achieve ultra-fast performance.
There are multiple development environments to program a Raspberry Pi Pico board like Visual Studio Code, Thonny Python IDE, Arduino IDE etc.
So, in this tutorial, we will learn how t ...
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 ...
Hi friends and hope you are doing very well. Today we would like to take one tutorial which is very essential in the industry which is analog input processing for handling analog measurements of physical signals like temperature, humidity, pressure, distance, flow and level of liquids, etc. Typically, sensors produce two types of analog signals to represent the equivalent measured signal which is current and voltage signals. The currently produced signals would be within the range of 4-20 mAwhile voltage signals are in the range of 0-10 v. because, that output signals represent physical signals, the limits of output signals are 0 to 10 v for voltage based sensors and 4 to 20 mA for current-based sensors, these values should be scaled to represent ...
