The latest big news in the world of Raspberry Pi Python GPIO programming is that Ben Croston has released an update for RPi.GPIO. Why is that a big deal? Because this version has interrupts. “What’s an interrupt?” I hear you say. It’s a way of waiting for something to happen without checking constantly whether or …

I normally use my Raspberry-Pi on a windows shared desktop. I also share a network drive with the Pi. This is great, but I still have the annoyance of the clipboard on the PC not being reflected on the Pi. There may be cross platform apps out there for this problem, but I though it …
NSC-01 For Team Near Space Circus‘ participation in the Global Space Balloon Challenge with NSC-01, we wanted to make sure that once powered up, and enclosed, we would still have control of the computer cluster and the timeline of events, as to what would happen when. As we devised a network with 7 nodes (see …
This tutorial covers the setup software and hardware to read and write the GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi running the latest Raspbian operating system. We will showing how to read from a physical push-button from Python code, and control an LED. Related categories: Tutorial Step 1: Install Python development tools Open a terminal on …

I’ve had a Raspberry Pi since Christmas, but haven’t done much with it up till now. That’s all changed since I moved house. Getting to grips with a new central heating system, I find that (for reasons too dull to list here) I need to monitor and control it rather more flexibly than I can …
Aim of the project: In this project we have developed a platform to remotely control surveillance robot controlled over Ethernet. It will enable us to monitor the activities in the remote and sensitive areas such as naxalite areas and etc. In traditional security systems, monitoring devices are usually mounted on fixed locations. In such cases, …

LEDs, buzzers and switches are the most common items people attempt to interface to their Raspberry Pi’s. Something I found in eBay that is a little bit different is an ultrasonic measurement module. This allows you to measure the distance to the nearest wall or solid object. The modules are easy to buy, cheap and …
