The MonkMakes Plant Monitor and CircuitPython
Learn how to use the CircuitPython serial interface to talk to a MonkMakes Plant Monitor sensor. As an example, a Circuit Playground Express is used to provide a colorful display of the measured moisture level.
micro:bit Lesson 4. Sensing Light
I this lesson, you will learn how to measure light with a micro:bit using both its internal sensor and by attaching a few components to breadboard.
micro:bit Lesson 3. NeoPixels with micro:bit
This lesson will show you how to connect your micro:bit to a Neopixel Display using JavaScript Blocks, MicroPython and Arduino code.
micro:bit Lesson 2. Controlling LEDs on Breadboard
In this lesson, you will learn how to connect a micro:bit to solderless breadboard and how to turn an LED on and off. The lesson includes code for MicroPython, JavaScript Block and Arduino.
micro:bit Lesson 1. Using the Built-in Sensors
In this lesson, you will learn how to take readings from the micro:bit's built-in sensors using JavaScript Blocks, MicroPython, and Arduino code.
You will use the magnetometer to detect a magnet being brought near to the micro:bit.
Using a 5V Stepper Motor with the RasPiRobot Board V2
In this tutorial, you will learn how to drive a 5V stepper motor using a Raspberry Pi and the RasPiRobot Board V2 (RRBv2) expansion board for the Raspberry Pi.
Controlling Motors using the Raspberry Pi and RasPiRobot Board V2
In this guide, I show how you can make your Raspberry Pi control small DC motors using the RasPiRobot Board V2 motor controller Pi Plate.
Battery Powered Raspberry Pi Displays w/RaspiRobot Shield
In this guide, you will learn how to use the RasPiRobot Shield and an AA battery pack to make a portable Raspberry Pi powered message board.
16x32 RGB Display with Raspberry Pi - part 2
In this tutorial, we will look at daisy chaining together two or three RGB LED displays and also wrapping some fast and efficient C code in Python that will create images on the fly and populate them with text before handing them over to the C code to do the refreshing of the display.
Connecting a 16x32 RGB LED Matrix Panel to a Raspberry Pi
This tutorial uses C code to drive the display. We will also experiment (with limited success) in driving the display using Python.
Running Minecraft on a Raspberry Pi
This tutorial will show you how to install and run Minecraft on a Raspberry Pi.
Setting up a Raspberry Pi with NOOBS
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use NOOBS (New Out Of the Box Software) to set up your Raspberry Pi.
NOOBS is a minimal disk image that can just be copied onto a newly formatted SD card. You then put it into the SD slot on the Raspberry Pi and It downloads the rest of what it needs.
Connecting a Push Button to BeagleBone Black
In this tutorial, you will learn how to connect a push button switch to a BeagleBone Black and have it display a message when the button is pressed.
Controlling a Servo with a BeagleBone Black
In this tutorial, you will learn how to control a servo from Python using a BeagleBone Black (BBB).
A Python test program will allow you to set the angle of the servo between 0 and 180 degrees.
Fading a RGB LED on BeagleBone Black
In this tutorial, you will learn how to control the color of an RGB LED using a BeagleBone Black and Python.
