The Raspberry Pi comes with a 1-wire Interface bus used to connect sensor modules when working on IoT projects. For example, one such sensor is the DS18B20 used to measure temperature. 1-wire interface is basically a single wire which can carry out multiple functions, including low-speed data transfer, power over a single conductor, and signaling. Practically, the Raspberry Pi supports …

VMware is generally a virtual machine software that allows one to run multiple copies of the original Operating System. This, therefore, means that we can test Raspberry Pi without its hardware designed and optimized to run in the Raspberry Pi Module. This handy feature helps many people, especially developers or anyone who loves exploring other OSs and doesn’t have a …

Since its first release in 2012, the Raspberry Pi has never shipped with a power button. Of course, that is due to cost matters and the idea of making the Pi flexible to handle an array of projects ranging from anything like embedded IoT projects, Media Center, Network Attached Storage (NAS) to using it as a regular Desktop. However, you …

As you perform more resource-intensive tasks on your Raspberry Pi like running a media server, web server, etc., temperature monitoring becomes important. Even though this Small Board Computer is designed to operate even at very high temperatures than most standard laptops and Desktops, above 80 degrees, the CPU will throttle. If you don’t take caution and it exceeds 85 degrees, …
This article will walk you through the phases needed to run flask applications using the NGINX web server. Generally, Flask is a microframework for Python that allows one to create web-based applications on your Raspberry Pi.
The Raspberry Pi is arguably one of the most popular small board computers (SBC) we have in the market today. It’s affordable, has large support from various Software developers, and it’s versatile. You can use it to carry out small personal projects like IoT, Software development, Media server, or even set it up as a Desktop PC. If you decide …
