Hello geeks, welcome to our new project. In this project, we are going to make a very interesting project which is an Up-Down counter. Most of us who have an electronics background or studied digital electronics must know the counter. Counter is a simple device which counts numbers. As per the digital electronics, there are two types of counter, the Up counter which counts in increasing order and another is Down counter which counts in decreasing order. And every counter has a reset limit, on which the counter resets to its initial value and starts the counting again. The limit of every counter depends on the bits of counter. For example, we have a 8 bit Up counter which means it will count upto 255 and afterwards it will reset and will start agai ...
Welcome to the next tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. In our previous tutorial, we learned how to create a timelapse video with still images and understand how phototimer and FFmpeg work. In this lesson, you'll make a button-controlled "music box" that plays different sounds depending on which buttons are pressed.
What you will learn
Connect button pushes to function calls using the Python gpiozero package and uses the Python dictionary data structure
Components
Raspberry Pi
Breadboard
Buttons
Jumper wires
Speaker
Set up your project
For this project, you'll need some audio samples. On Raspbian, there are many audio files; however, playing them with Python can be challenging. You can, however, transform the audio files ...
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 ...
Greetings! This is the complete project of our Raspberry Pi 4 tutorials. In our previous tutorial, we learned to set up our raspberry pi as a virtual private network server. In this tutorial, we will design a smart attendance system using an RFID card reader, which we will use to sign in students in attendance in a class.
First, we will design a database for our website, then we will design the RFID circuit for scanning the student cards and displaying present students on the webpage, and finally, we will design the website that we will use to display the attendees of a class.
Components
RFID card kit
Breadboard
Jumper wires
Raspberry pi 4
I2C LCD screen
Design a database in MySQL server
Additionally, the Database server offers a DBMS ...
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, we hope you all are doing great. Welcome to the 4th lecture of Section 5(ESP32 Sensor) in the ESP32 Programming Series. So far, we have discussed the ESP32 built-in sensors in this section. Today, we are going to interface an external embedded sensor(i.e. PIR Sensor) with the ESP32 Microcontroller board. At the start, we will discuss the basics of a PIR Sensor(HC-SR501) i.e. its pinout and working. After that, we will design a simple project to detect the motion with a PIR sensor and ESP32. Finally, we will display the motion detection results on the ESP32 WebServer.
We will use ESP32 interrupts to detect the motion. Interrupts are used when a microcontroller needs to continuously monitor an event while executing other tasks at the same time. We have already posted a tuto ...
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 simula ...
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 ...
Welcome to the next tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. Our previous tutorial taught us how to use a raspberry pi as a DNS server. We also looked at the benefit of this DNS server. This tutorial will teach us to set up Raspberry pi as a VPN server.
This is an excellent method for increasing your network security and getting access to your local area network from the world wide web, but setting up your VPN server might be a challenge. Pi VPN uses a guided install to turn your Raspberry into a low-cost, high-performance VPN server.
What is Pi VPN?
It is an OpenVPN server optimized for all Raspberry platforms above pi 2. It allows you to access your home network over the internet safely and securely. Smart devices and your network can ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface the PIR sensor to detect motion with the Raspberry Pi Pico module and MicroPython programming language. Later in this tutorial, we will also discuss the interrupts and how to generate an external interrupt with a PIR sensor.
Before interfacing and programming, the PIR and Pico boards let’s first have a look at the quick introduction to the PIR sensor and its working.

PIR motion sensor and its working
PIR stands for Passive Infrared sensors and the PIR module we are using is HC-SR501. As the name suggests the PIR or passive infrared sensor, produces TTL (transistor transistor logic) output (that is either HIGHT o ...
