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 […]

This is a fun little demo I threw together in an evening. I’m running Raspbian “wheezy”. Wire up a switch (or switches) to your GPIO port. I have switches connected to GPIO pins 22, 23, and 24. Install RPIO. sudo apt-get install python-setuptools sudo easy_install -U RPIO Install wakeonlan. sudo apt-get install wakeonlan Check that

Last Friday I got some spare time (finally!) and, with the help and tools of my friend Alfredo, we placed a button in the RaspberryPi case so, when I push it, a custom command its executed on the RaspberryPi, like for example, a clean system shutdown. We mainly followed this post, but used a different

Since the Raspberry Pi foundation decided to leave out an off button to safely shutdown the Raspberry pi, I’ll show you a simple method I came up with to build one, so there are no more excuses for yanking the power cable out of your Pi! This method uses no extra components apart from a

Almost all wireless technologies use some kind of association process to enable devices to join the network. Such a process is typically initiated by pressing a button on the network controller and by subsequently pressing another button on the device to associate. Software gateways, like Dog, cannot naturally support this press-and-join interaction and the association

Hi there. This post is not going to be on JavaScript but it will be a bit more centered on the Raspberry Pi and what I did today. As pointed out in an old blog post, I’m working on a software that creates streams of data and pass them through a topology. As data sink,

This is my first Raspberry Pi. I’ve bought it as an XBMC home-theater box (and a “we’ll see later on what else”). One of the annoying things I’ve found out right away was that it didn’t have a reset button. You can politely shut down the thing from software, but how do you turn it

This instructable will show how to trigger a webcam using Raspberry and a push button. A bash script run at startup and it launch a Python script that survey the GPIO port. When the button is pressed, a “fswebcam” command runs. Step 1: Materials – Raspberry Pi 2 Model B – Webcam (Make sure your

So we now have a traffic light/pelican (Tux!) crossing simulator. The 2nd Red LED is connected to wiringPi pin 3, (GPIO-22), and the 2nd Green LED is connected to wiringPi pin 4, (GPIO-23). Test them as before with the gpio command, e.g. for i in 0 1 2 3 4 ; do gpio mode $i

The Raspberry Pi, just sitting there, asking to be played with… As I looked over my existing projects I noticed this sad little lone R-Pi sitting on my desk. Some time ago I bought it. Played with it a bit, installed NOOB image on the SD card, connected I2C LCD text display to it and
