GrovePi+ is stacked on top of the Raspberry Pi without the need for any other connections. Communication between the two occurs over the I²C interface. All Grove modules connect to the universal Grove connectors on the GrovePi+ shield via the universal 4-pin connector cable.
Grove modules work on analog and digital signals and can be connected directly to the ATMEGA328 microcontroller on the Grove Pi+. The microcontroller acts as an interpreter between the Raspberry Pi and the Grove sensors. It sends, receives, and executes commands sent by the Raspberry Pi.
Features
One GrovePi+ board together with 12 popular Grove sensors and 10 Grove cables
GrovePi+ is compatible with Raspberry Pi A+, B, B+ / 2, 3, 4.

The Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest single-board computer from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It can be used in many applications, such as in audio and video media centers, as a desktop computer, in industrial controllers, robotics, and in many domestic and commercial applications. In addition to the well-established features found in other Raspberry Pi computers, the Raspberry Pi 5 offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (classic and BLE), which makes it a perfect match for IoT as well as in remote and Internet-based control and monitoring applications. It is now possible to develop many real-time projects such as audio digital signal processing, real-time digital filtering, real-time digital control and monitoring, and many other real-time operations using this tiny powerhouse.
The book starts with an introduction to the Raspberry Pi 5 computer and covers the important topics of accessing the computer locally and remotely. Use of the console language commands as well as accessing and using the desktop GUI are described with working examples. The remaining parts of the book cover many Raspberry Pi 5-based hardware projects using components and devices such as
LEDs and buzzers
LCDs

When Raspberry Pi 4's system on chip (SoC) achieves a certain temperature, it lowers its operating speed to protect itself from harm. As a result, you don't get maximum performance from the single board computer.
Fan SHIM is an affordable accessory that effectively eliminates thermal throttling and boosts the performance of RPi 4.
It's quite easy to attach the fan SHIM to Raspberry pi: fan SHIM uses a friction-fit header, so it just slips onto your Pi's pins and it's ready to go, no soldering required!
The fan can be controlled in software, so you can adjust it to your needs, for example, toggle it on when the CPU reaches a certain temperature etc.
You can also program the LED as a visual indicator of the fan status.
The tactile switch can also be programmed, so you can use it to toggle the fan on or off, or to switch between temperature-triggered or manual mode.
Features
30 mm 5 V DC fan
4,200 RPM
0.05 m³/min air flow
18.6 dB acoustic noise (whisper-quiet)
Friction-fit header
No soldering required
RGB LED (APA102)
Tactile switch
Basic assembly required
Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 (and 3B+, 3A+)
Python library and daemon
Pinout
Included
Fan SHIM PCB
30 mm 5 V DC fan with JST connector
M2.5 nuts and bolts
Assembly
The assembly is really simple and almost takes no time
With the component side of the PCB facing upwards, push the two M2.5 bolts through the holes from below, then screw on the first pair of nuts to secure them and act as spacers.
Push the fan's mounting holes down onto the bolts, with the cable side of the fan downwards (as pictured) and the text on the fan upwards. Attach with another two nuts.
Push the fan's JST connector into the socket on Fan SHIM.
Software
With the help of Python library you can control the fan (on/off), RGB LED, and switch. You'll also find a number of examples that demonstrate each feature, as well as a script to install a daemon (a computer program that runs as a background process) that runs the fan in automatic mode, triggering it on or off when the CPU reaches a threshold temperature, with a manual override via the tactile switch.

Program and Build Raspberry Pi 5 Based Ham Station Utilities with the RTL-SDR
The RTL-SDR devices (V3 and V4) have gained popularity among radio amateurs because of their very low cost and rich features. A basic system may consist of a USB based RTL-SDR device (dongle) with a suitable antenna, a Raspberry Pi 5 computer, a USB based external audio input-output adapter, and software installed on the Raspberry Pi 5 computer. With such a modest setup, it is possible to receive signals from around 24 MHz to over 1.7 GHz.
This book is aimed at amateur radio enthusiasts and electronic engineering students, as well as at anyone interested in learning to use the Raspberry Pi 5 to build electronic projects. The book is suitable for both beginners through experienced readers. Some knowledge of the Python programming language is required to understand and eventually modify the projects given in the book. A block diagram, a circuit diagram, and a complete Python program listing is given for each project, alongside a comprehensive description.
The following popular RTL-SDR programs are discussed in detail, aided by step-by-step installation guides for practical use on a Raspberry Pi 5:
SimpleFM
