Try Devices

Updated : 2017-02-22


Try different devices to Raspberry Pi

Idea: To try out differnt devices together with a Raspberry Pi and mange them through a Python program

Documentation: You shouild post a blog with your result at http://www.dimselab.dk/blog/ - please see at the buttom

Step 1 : Pick a device

You (1-3 persons) should pick a device they would like to investigate.

It coud be one of the following devices:

- 8×8 LED display controlled by a chip (hint: http://raspi.tv/2013/8-x-8-led-array-driven-by-max7219-on-the-raspberry-pi-via-python)
- 4×4 membrane numpad                (hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYnX5QodqQ4 )
- web camera                                   (hint: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-webcam-server/ or https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/camera/python/README.md)
- Stepper motor                               (hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc16mKFA7Fo or https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-10-stepper-motors/overview)
- 4DPi-24-HAT (A display nor much program)  (hint: http://www.4dsystems.com.au/product/4DPi_24_HAT/)
- Add a small screen to your project 
- IR – remote control 
- ...

Step 2 : Setup the experiment

Setup up the experiment i..e setup wirering possible to document by link to fritzing library or by taking pictures

 

Step 3 : Implement a Python Program

Make a program to try out the device.

 

Step 4 : Document your experiment at 'dimselab.dk'

Add a blog-post to http://www.dimselab.dk/blog/ with the device, the experiment(incl. the setup/wirering) the relevent python-code.
