Hello friends, I hope you all are having fun. Welcome to the 10th tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the last chapter,
PWM was utilized to regulate the DC motor's speed and direction
with a motor driver L293D. In this chapter, we'll advance our skills with PWM and use it to control a stepper motor using the same motor driver L293D.Here's the video demonstration of this project:Let's get started:
Components RequiredHere's the list of components, which we will use to control the speed and direction of Raspberry Pi 4:
Raspberry Pi 4.Stepper Motor.
Motor Driver IC(L293D).
Jumper wires.
9V Battery.
Breadboard.
The Raspberry Pi with desktop is required for this project. An SSH connection can be made, or the RPi can ...
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 and hope you are all very well. Today, we are going to deal with one of the most important and common problems that would be there in everyday tasks in industry and its solution. The problem is the safety of equipment and operators by preventing the machine from running under specific conditions for realizing the safety of equipment and human as well. Not only does it fulfill safety but also it is for performing the designed sequence of operation. If there is a problem, then it should be the solution for it. the solution is what so-called “Interlock”. So, what is interlock? And why do we need it? And how we can design a good interlock? Well! We may find such concerns exist in two aspects which are safety and operation sequence. In the f ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorials on raspberry pi Pico, we discussed the basic features, architecture, download and installation of development environments for raspberry Pi Pico programming. In this tutorial, we will learn how to access and control Raspberry Pi Pico and its GPIO pins to implement LED blinking using MicroPython.
Introduction
Raspberry Pi development boards are quite popular and frequently used among students and hobbyists. But the drawback of Raspberry Pi is their cost i.e., around $35-$45. So when cost of the development board is of prime importance the users prefer to use ESP8266, ESP32, Arduino, PIC etc. over Raspberry Pi. To overcome this drawback, Raspberry Pi foundations designed a new board i.e., Raspberry Pi Pico which is a ...
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:
16x2 LCD Module
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, ...
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 ...
Hi Friends! Hope you’re well today. In this post, I’ll walk you through What is Edge Computing?
Edge computing is the extension of cloud computing. Cloud computing is used for data storage, data management, and data processing. While Edge Computing does serve the same purpose with one difference: edge processing is carried out near the edge of the network which means data is processed near the location where it’s produced instead of relying on the remote location of the cloud server.
Confused?
Don’t be.
We’ll touch on this further in this article.
Curious to know more about what is edge computing, the difference between edge computing and cloud computing, benefits, and applications?
Keep reading.

Hello friends, in the previous tutorial we learned about ions and now I am coming up with a new article Molecular ion. In this article, we will discuss the formation of molecular ions. When we discuss molecular ions many types of questions arise in our minds. I hope after reading this article you can answer these questions which are given below:
What are molecular ions?
How many types of molecular ions?
How molecular ions are formed?
Why is NH4 + not a molecular ion? Give a reason.
Which type of molecular ions structure exists etc.?
Which example is suitable for molecular ions or not?
Discovery
In 1794, molecules were considered a minute particles according to the French. Latin used vogue words for molecules until the late 18th cent ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing well. Welcome to the 11th tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the previous chapter, we have seen how to regulate the speed of a Stepper motor with Raspberry Pi 4. Today, we'll work on the servo motor and will control it with RPi4. So, let's get started:
Components Required:We will need the following components to control Servo Motor with Raspberry Pi 4:
Raspberry Pi 4.
Servo Motor.
Male-to-female jumper wires.
What is a servo motor?
A Servo Motor is a simple DC motor with a position feedback Control System and a gearbox.A Servo Motor's primary advantage is its ability to maintain its shaft's angular position at any desired angle i.e. if we want to keep our shaft at 67 degre ...
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 ...
