Collection of Raspberry Pi Projects

By Guillermo Perez Guillen

This book is a collection of my best publications on projects made with the Rapberry Pi board, and which I describe below: 1) ALARM SYSTEM: Develop an alarm system to detect the movement of someone through the use of a PIR motion sensor and the Raspberry Pi Zero W board. When this happens, an alert notice will appear on the Twitter account; 2) GAS LEAK ALARM: Develop a system for the detection of fires or gas leaks with the Raspberry Pi Zero W board and the MQ2 gas sensor. This system can send the captured data to the remote server of ThingSpeak. When a gas increase is detected beyond a limit, then a message is sent to the Twitter account; 3) WEATHER STATION: Develop a Weather Station with a Raspberry Pi Zero W board, and monitor all the sensors with ThingSpeak and Twitter. The sensors used are DHT11 (humidity and temperature sensor) and BMP085 (barometric pressure and temperature sensor). Also, you can use new versions of this sensors without any problem; 4) DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING: Make use of digital image processing with OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi 3. To achieve this goal, start from the software installation to make your own object classifiers and finally make an example to manipulate an object by means of an image in movement. This has many applications, ranging from recognizing people or objects, to creating your own video surveillance system; and 5) ANIMATIONS WITH PYTHON AND PYGAME: The main goal of this project is to develop virtual animations of a human, animals and objects that are moved on a stage or image background. We will use Python and Pygame, these software tools are used to program games.

DATASHEET

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Programming with the Raspberry Pi

Then I show you a brief compilation of programming with Python in case you have any doubts and if you consider that it isn’t necessary then you can go to the next chapter.

A. Elements of Language

As in most high-level programming languages, in Python it is composed of a series of elements that feed its structure. Among them, we can find the following: Variables

A variable is a space to store modifiable data, in the memory of a computer. In Python, a variable is defined with the syntax:

name_of_the_variable = value_of_the_variable

Each variable has a name and a value, which defines at the same time, the data type of the variable. There is a type of variable, called constant, which is used to define fixed values, which do not need to be modified.

Variables: Use descriptive and lowercase names. For compound names, separate the words by underscores. Before and after the sign =, there must be only one blank space.

my_variable = 13

Constants: Use descriptive and uppercase names separating words by underscores.

MY_CONSTANT = 23

To print a value on the screen, in Python, the word print is used: my_variable = 34

print my_variable

The above will print the value of the variable my variable on the screen.

Type of data

A variable or constant can contain values of various types. Among them: Text string (string):

my_chain = Hello World!

Whole number:

age = 34

Octal integer:

age = 033

Hexadecimal integer number:

age = 0x12

Real number:

price = 745.89

Boolean (true / False):

one = True

two = False

There are also other types of more complex data, which we will see later.

Arithmetic Operators

Among the arithmetic operators that Python uses, we can find the following: Sum +

a = 11 + 6

a is 17

Subtraction -

a = 16 - 6

a is 10

Denial -

a = -9

a is -9

Multiplication *

a = 8 * 10

a is 80

Exponent **

a = 2 ** 2

a is 4

Division /

a = 14.4 / 2

a is 7.2

Integer division //

a = 14.5 / 2

a is 7.0

Module%

a = 26% 4

a is 2

Always place a blank, before and after an operator

Comments

A file can not only contain source code. You can also include comments or notes that as programmers, we indicate in the code to understand it better. The comments can be of

Reviews for Collection of Raspberry Pi Projects

[omid momeni · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

If you have contacted Arian TV repair center for the first time for repair and replacement, the services provided are free of charge. After the repair or replacement of the part, if the TV breaks down again, it is included in Arian's warranty and the cost of re-repair is not charged, and only in some rare cases, the cost of going back and forth is charged.
