In addition to the control of the Raspberry Pi via infrared remote controls, 433 Mhz transmitter, messengers and many more, also a wireless Xbox 360 controller can be read from the Raspberry Pi. This allows the gamepad to be used as an external mouse (in desktop mode) or in scripts and thus the GPIOs can […]
In an increasing number of cities, the trend is towards organic or even self-grown fruits and vegetables. Perhaps a deterrent cause is the time spent on plant care. Therefore, this project involves the creation of an automated Raspberry Pi greenhouse, which reduces the work to a minimum. By automatic watering, airing and exposure, only harvesting must […]
One of the many Raspberry Pi projects is the lighting of rooms or objects. LED strips are particularly suitable for this purpose, because many individual LEDs are aligned and each individual LED can display all RGB colors. Thus, some projects such as room lighting, Ambilight or e.g. a Christmas tree lighting can be realized. The […]
Not only in Hollywood films, fingerprint readers are seen more and more frequently. Such modules are often installed in home surveillance systems and are used for the simple but secure verification of persons. With such a Raspberry Pi Fingerprint Sensor you can also implement some other projects, such as secured locks. One of the advantages […]
Not only with fitness watches, but also with the Raspberry Pi it is possible to measure pulse / heart rates. With a small module – the Raspberry Pi pulse sensor – you can easily measure your own pulse and thus monitor permanently your health condition. This sensor can also be used in mobile Raspberry Pi […]
Sensors are necessary to detect the components of the air. These are used e.g. in smoke detectors. However, instructions for using these gas sensors at the Raspberry Pi are rare, which is why in this tutorial the general use of such MQ modules at the Raspberry Pi is shown. Thus, e.g. smoke detectors or air […]
Google Chrome is one of the fastest and most widely used web browsers for desktop computers. Due to some statistics Chrome is used on more than half of all PC’s of the world. Since it is a opensource project, you can get also Chrome for Raspberry Pi’s. In this tutorial I will show how to […]
All Raspberry Pi models are delivered without a case. But to protect your Pi it is recommended to use one and additionally it is nice to look at. There are so many really nice cases with fans or integrated touchscreens. You might ask which is the best Raspberry Pi case and which are most useful […]
For uploading files on a Raspberry Pi you should install a FTP server. Such a server is very useful if you use your Pi as a web server or even if you want to have a network storage, which can also be accessed outside of your network if an DNS server is installed. However this […]
Similar to TeamViewer a remote desktop connection enables remote access to another computer. This has the advantage that you don’t need two monitors or have to switch between two systems. Although the Raspberry Pi can be controlled almost exclusively via console, but some programs are to be controlled only by a GUI. On all Windows […]
After setting up your Raspberry Pi you probably don’t want to use your keyboard and mouse. That’s where a remote connection helps: You can have remote access to your Raspberry Pi through SSH from every other computer which is in the same network as your Pi. In this Tutorial you will learn how to use […]
