Python is preinstalled on Raspberry Pi OS, allowing us to build a lot of awesome projects with the Raspberry Pi. But the real power of Python on Raspberry Pi lies in the thousands of libraries available to extend its possibilities. Matplotlib is one that you can install to create visual representations. Let’s learn how. Matplotlib…
Sending emails with Python from a Raspberry Pi can be useful for many projects. Unfortunately, it’s a client/server protocol, with authentication and security required, which means it’s not that easy to use. In this article, I’ll answer your questions and give you a function you can use in all your Python projects. Python can use…
Python is an important element for a Raspberry Pi, with many projects relying on it. With new releases all the time, it can be tough to keep it updated, or at the right version for your applications. In this article, I will give you all the information to know the current version installed, install another…
The GPIO pins, placed on each Raspberry Pi model, are one of the best features to expand the device’s capabilities. But, it’s not easy to get started because the pin numbers seem to have been placed randomly, and it isn’t even the same numbers to use in your code. Don’t worry, that’s why I created…
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a special model in many ways. It’s not a computer like other models and the GPIO pins are placed differently, with 20 pins on each side of the board. If you want to use the pins, you’ll need some guidance to know what each pin is associated to. To help…
OpenCV is often used to promote Raspberry Pi capacities. Even if the Raspberry Pi is a cheap piece of hardware, showing it with a camera, using artificial intelligence and electronics is pretty impressive. But before doing all of this, you have to set it up correctly, and it isn’t straightforward for beginners. That’s why I…
Using a Raspberry Pi to monitor a website is an interesting project. The Raspberry Pi can be left on all the time and can be programmed with Python or any other language to run various tests. I tried this project for you, and in this tutorial, I will give you a few ways you can…
It’s almost common knowledge that the Raspberry Pi devices and the Python language go together quite well. If you are wondering why, you’re not alone. I’m a developer and didn’t know about Python before I got my first Raspberry Pi. Why did they choose Python over all the other languages? Can you use something else?…
Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized computer that was created to teach people of all ages how to code. It also functions as a regular computer when paired with a keyboard, mouse, monitor, or other display. You might be asking yourself: is Raspberry Pi good for programming? Raspberry Pi is an excellent device for programmers, and…
If you are a developer and used to Eclipse on your computer, you might prefer to play with your Raspberry Pi using the same interface. Eclipse wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice for coding on Raspberry Pi, due to the hardware limitation and cumbersome interface, but it works fine on the recent models, and as…
