What is the Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a miniature computer that is ideal for handicrafts or home automation. Thanks to its controllable IO (input-output) pins, sensors and other hardware can be read out and controlled very easily. Because of this and its low price, it is also a very popular way to get started with (hardware-related) programming for beginners, children and those interested.
In the meantime, the Raspberry Pi has been sold millions of times and there is a ready-made solution for almost every application, or a way to achieve your dream project. This page deals with all topics related to the Raspberry Pi. This includes simple tutorials on the use of sensors, pure help on programming topics, to complex Raspberry Pi tutorial series in the field of home automation, robotics and many more. You can simply browse in the menu and on the page or leave a comment. Since new Raspberry Pi instructions and tutorials appear regularly, it is definitely worth activating the newsletter.
In projects such as the automated greenhouse, it is important to know how much water, for example, reaches the plants for irrigation. There is also an inexpensive variant that we can quickly read using the Python programming language and also integrate into our smart home system. We can query the…
Robots are a very popular entry-level project for the Raspberry Pi because you can learn a lot with them, have fun and add a lot of additional hardware. For example, a robot can automatically follow lines, recognize and follow faces, measure distances and thereby drive autonomously. Or we can just…
Most printers these days can easily be integrated into the network and can therefore also be used on the Raspberry Pi. Thus, they can be operated by many devices and documents or pictures can be printed with them. We can either print simple text documents on the Raspberry Pi or…
With the ESP32 Cam, there is a cheap and compact alternative to the common IP cameras that are usually used for surveillance. This means that you can either set up a live stream and watch it permanently or, for example, record and save regular still images (wild camera). The ESP…
The ESP8266/NodeMCU is a small and inexpensive microcontroller with an integrated wireless LAN module, which is particularly popular in the field of home automation. In addition to programming using the “Lua” language, the ESP8266 can also be programmed with the classic Arduino IDE (with C ++ and other modules). Since…
Are you logged out of your system because you don’t know the Raspberry Pi default login and are now searching for ways to reset it? If yes, then rest assured! We will provide you with all the information you need regarding resetting and securing your Raspberry Pi OS. Like other…
If you want to operate a weather station, you also have to think about the power supply. An autonomous supply of electricity by means of rechargeable batteries would be ideal. The ESP8266 solar panel power supply is of course an obvious solution. During the day, the microcontroller is supplied with…
Home assistant (hass.io) is an open source home automation software, which gives us free tools to convert our home to a smart home. All you need to do is to set up Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi (Raspi) and connect our home appliances with it. With proper configuration, we…
Are you stuck between Raspberry Pi vs. Arduino for your project? If yes, then we can help you choose the best one. The Raspberry Pi is, in fact, the best board in terms of advanced features and computational power. However, the Arduino becomes more valuable and cost-friendly accordingly in some…
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released a pure microcontroller at a super low price: the Raspberry Pi Pico. This differs from its “siblings” but is easier to program than seldom before. We can write our first small application using MicroPython and/or C++. In addition, the Pico comes with many GPIOs…
