Connecting inexpensive edge hardware to robust cloud architecture is the foundation of modern engineering projects. The ESP32 microcontroller has become a staple for developers due to its integrated Wi-Fi capability and low price point. However, capturing data locally on your workbench is vastly different from streaming data securely to an enterprise cloud system. While this tutorial will help you build a functional prototype on your workbench, companies looking to securely deploy thousands of these IoT nodes across a smart factory often team up with a Microsoft solutions partner to architect a highly scalable and secure Azure environment. For our purposes today, we will focus on bridging the gap between physical hardware and the cloud by setting up a reliable telemetry pipeline. Prerequis ...

They can also be used to detect AI-generated code , supporting efforts to ensure transparency and maintain code integrity. They're not just tools; they're your partners in coding, helping you navigate ...
Hi pals! Welcome to the next deep learning tutorial, where we are at the exciting stage of TensorFlow. In the last tutorial, we just installed the TensorFlow library with the help of Anaconda, and we saw all the procedures step by step. We saw all the prerequisites and understood how you can follow the best procedure to download and install TensorFlow successfully without any trouble. If you have done all the steps, then you might be interested in knowing the basics of TensorFlow. No matter if you are a beginner or have knowledge about TensorFlow, this lecture will be equally beneficial for all of you because there is some important and interesting information that not all people know. So, have a look at the topics that will be discussed with you in just a bit. What is a tensor? What are s ...
Introduction Welcome to the next tutorial in our raspberry pi programming. In the previous tutorial, we learned how we could run Xbox cloud on our pi 4. We found that we can run any game easily without lag or having raspberry pi shut down, proving that pi 4 is quite a powerful minicomputer. However, this tutorial will demonstrate how to use Python on raspberry to monitor websites. This Python program will execute on Pi 4 and watch over a website, alerting you whenever it changes or goes down. This is accomplished by keeping a straightforward webpage duplicate locally and monitoring for updates. This webpage monitor is straightforward, so it should work well on pi Zero. Throughout this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to develop your custom code to monitor a webpage. With this information, ...
Hi readers! I hope you’re having a great day and finding something thrilling. Imagine being able to solve a problem in seconds that would take the fastest supercomputers millennia, that is, quantum computing. Today, we will cover Quantum Computing. Quantum computing is a relatively new technology that can present a new way of thinking about how information may be processed using the laws of quantum mechanics. Classical computing uses bits, which are either 0 or 1, while processing information, whereas quantum computing uses qubits and has the possibility of being a bunch of things at the same time by virtue known as the “superposition”. In addition to "superposition", qubits can be connected across space through a property known as "Entanglement", which allows quantum computers the potenti ...
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 that can be queried and connected to and can integrate ...
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 t ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we discussed the implementation of LED interfacing and blinking program with Raspberry Pi Pico using MicroPython programming language. So continuing with our previous tutorial, in this tutorial we will learn how to control the LED brightness using PWM (pulse width modulation technique). As we mentioned above, in our previous tutorial we implemented the LED blinking program with a Raspberry Pi Pico board. Blinking an LED means turning ON and OFF and thus the process involves only two states that are ‘1’ (HIGH) and ‘0’ (LOW). But, sometimes it is required to change the digital output between these two (ON and OFF states) for example changing the LED brightness. PWM or Pulse Width Modulation technique is used to change t ...
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 co ...
