Ready to explore the world around you? By attaching the Sense HAT to your Raspberry Pi, you can quickly and easily develop a variety of creative applications, useful experiments, and exciting games. The Sense HAT contains several helpful environmental sensors: temperature, humidity, pressure, accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope. Additionally, an 8x8 LED matrix is provided with RGB LEDs, which can be used to display multi-color scrolling or fixed information, such as the sensor data. Use the small onboard joystick for games or applications that require user input. In Innovate with Sense HAT for Raspberry Pi, Dr. Dogan Ibrahim explains how to use the Sense HAT in Raspberry Pi Zero W-based projects. Using simple terms, he details how to incorporate the Sense HAT board in interesting visual and sensor-based projects. You can complete all the projects with other Raspberry Pi models without any modifications. Exploring with Sense HAT for Raspberry Pi includes projects featuring external hardware components in addition to the Sense HAT board. You will learn to connect the Sense HAT board to the Raspberry Pi using jumper wires so that some of the GPIO ports are free to be interfaced to external components, such as to buzzers, relays, LEDs, LCDs, motors, and other sensors. The book includes full program listings and detailed project descriptions. Complete circuit diagrams of the projects using external components are given where necessary. All the projects were developed using the latest version of the Python 3 programming language. You can easily download projects from the book’s web page. Let’s start exploring with Sense HAT.

Build Your Own Vintage Radio Broadcaster The Elektor AM Transmitter Kit allows streaming audio to vintage AM radio receivers. Based on a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller module, the AM Transmitter can transmit on 32 frequencies in the AM band, from 500 kHz up to 1.6 MHz in 32 steps of approx. 35 kHz. The frequency is selected with a potentiometer and shown on a 0.96" OLED display. A pushbutton allows toggles the transmitting mode between On and Off. The range of the transmitter depends on the antenna. The onboard antenna provides a range of a few centimeters, requiring the AM Transmitter to be placed close to or inside the radio. An external loop antenna (not included) can be connected to increase the range. The Elektor AM Transmitter Kit comes as a kit of parts that you must solder to the board yourself. Features The board is compatible with a Hammond 1593N enclosure (not included).A 5 VDC power supply with micro-USB connector (e.g., an old phone charger) is needed to power the kit (not included). Current consumption is 100 mA. The Arduino software (requiring Earle Philhower’s RP2040 Boards Package) for the Elektor AM Transmitter Kit plus more information is available at the Elektor Labs page of this project.

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 GQRX SDR++ CubicSDR RTL-SDR Server Dump1090 FLDIGI Quick RTL_433 aldo xcwcp GPredict TWCLOCK CQRLOG klog Morse2Ascii PyQSO Welle.io Ham Clock CHIRP xastir qsstv flrig XyGrib FreeDV Qtel (EchoLink) XDX (DX-Cluster) WSJT-X The application of the Python programming language on the latest Raspberry Pi 5 platform precludes the use of the programs in the book from working on older versions of Raspberry Pi computers.

Raspberry Pi 5 provides two four-lane MIPI connectors, each of which can support either a camera or a display. These connectors use the same 22-way, 0.5 mm-pitch “mini” FPC format as the Compute Module Development Kit, and require adapter cables to connect to the 15-way, 1 mm-pitch “standard” format connectors on current Raspbery Pi camera and display products.These mini-to-standard adapter cables for cameras and displays (note that a camera cable should not be used with a display, and vice versa) are available in 200 mm, 300 mm and 500 mm lengths.

Mehr als 50 Grundlagenprojekte mit MicroPython und dem RP2040-Mikrocontroller Der Raspberry Pi Pico ist eine leistungsstarke Mikrocontroller-Platine, die speziell für das Physical Computing – also hardwarenahe Anwendungen – entwickelt wurde. Der Raspberry Pi Pico kann so programmiert werden, dass er eine einzelne Aufgabe sehr effizient ausführt und ermöglicht so schnelle Steuerungs- und Überwachungsanwendungen in Echtzeit. Der 'Pico', wie wir ihn nennen, basiert auf dem schnellen, effizienten und kostengünstigen Dual-Core ARM Cortex-M0+ RP2040 Mikrocontroller-Chip, der mit bis zu 133 MHz läuft und über 264 KB SRAM und 2 MB Flash-Speicher verfügt. Neben dem großen Speicher hat der Pico noch weitere attraktive Eigenschaften, darunter eine große Anzahl von GPIO-Pins sowie gängige Schnittstellen wie ADC, SPI, I²C, UART und PWM. Als Krönung bietet der Chip schnelle und genaue Timer, eine Hardware-Debug-Schnittstelle und einen internen Temperatursensor. Zur Programmierung lassen sich leicht die gängigen Hochsprachen wie MicroPython oder C/C++ verwenden. Dieses Buch ist eine Einführung in die Verwendung des Pico mit der Programmiersprache MicroPython. In allen Projekten wird die Thonny-Entwicklungsumgebung (IDE) eingesetzt. Über 50 Projekte decken folgende Themen ab: Installation von MicroPython auf dem Raspberry Pi Pico Timer-Interrupts und externe Interrupts Projekte mit Analog-Digital-Wandler (ADC) Verwendung des internen sowie externer Temperatursensoren Datenlogger Projekte zur PWM, UART, I²C-Bus und SPI-Bus Wi-Fi und Bluetooth für die Kommunikation mit Smartphones Projekte mit dem Digital-Analog-Wandler (DAC) Alle in diesem Buch vorgestellten Projekte wurden vollständig getestet und sind funktionsfähig. Es werden keine Programmier- oder Elektronikkenntnisse vorausgesetzt, um sie nachzuvollziehen. Für alle beschriebenen Projekte gibt es kurze Beschreibungen, Blockdiagramme, detaillierte Schaltpläne und vollständige MicroPython-Programmlistings. Die Listings sind auch auf der zum Buch gehörenden Elektor-Webseite zu finden.
