This project utilizes a Raspberry Pi 3, a webcam, and a PIR motion sensor […]
After experiencing repeated incidents of theft where a thief would pilfer a carton of milk from the weekly delivery by The Milkman, I made the decision to utilize a Raspberry Pi to set up a simple camera system for monitoring our front porch. (Please note: The Milkman’s business is no longer operational, possibly due to […]
In this instructional guide, we will initially explore the functioning of switches and the various types of switches suitable for your projects. Subsequently, we will demonstrate how to effectively utilize these buttons and switches on the Raspberry Pi. Let’s commence our journey HOW A SWITCH WORKS Let’s illustrate the concept of a switch using an […]
Now that the chassis and motors are installed, it is time to incorporate additional hardware into our Raspberry Pi robot. To add an exciting element, we will develop a web-based mechanism, known as a Web Control Panel, which enables us to control the robot and its associated hardware through a browser. This article provides comprehensive […]
The true potential of Raspberry Pi systems lies in their ability to be embedded in various environments, rather than serving as desktop replacements. Enable Remote SSH Access to Your Raspberry Pi If you’ve recently acquired a Raspberry Pi computer, it’s likely that you started by installing NOOBS/Raspbian and explored its functionality as a simple desktop […]
Indeed, the Raspberry Pi Computer is a compact PC that is approximately the size of a credit card and comes at an affordable price of $35. These tiny nano PCs offer countless possibilities and applications. People have transformed them into personal video recorders (PVRs), retro gaming machines, weather stations, in-car computers, jukeboxes, and numerous other […]
