MORE ABOUT Raspberry Pi

For the remote control of a garden watering system, the use of a commercially available bi-stable water valve, operating at low voltage, was explored. Previous user experience with this type of device was disappointing.

Last time we looked at the Raspberry Pi’s Expansion Header and its General Purpose Input/Ouput (GPIO) signals. In this Elektor .Post we’ll take a look at the Raspberry Pi’s Serial UART which can also be found on the Expansion Header.

We met Peter Lomas, the ‘R-Pi’ hardware guy, at the Embedded World 2013 trade show in Nuremberg, Germany, and found it an excellent opportunity to catch up with the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

In the first .POST on Rpi e-cookery we showed how to install Raspbian and how to set up our Raspberry Pi to get us started. As promised last time, in this part we’ll be looking at the Expansion Header of the Raspberry Pi and how to program the GPIO pins we’ll find there. If you’ve read Elektor’s March 2013 edition some of this may be familiar to you, as we discussed the Expansion Port in the Raspberry Pi Prototyping Board article [1].

3 PDF documents have as their goal to help you implement the Raspberry Pi In fact, there are many tutorials on the Internet, but they do not cover all the issues that can arise during the first use .The first paper "Preparing the operating system" will help you start the Rasperry IP and update the operating system.

Firmware update for OBD2-Analyser NG. OBD2 software for OBD2-Analyser NG with Bluetooth module running on PC and Raspberry Pi with Bluetooth adapter.

So you’ve got yourself a new Raspberry Pi? Great, but where do you start? Well, you’re in luck, welcome to the first part of Elektor’s Pi Recipes series published exclusively and monthly in Elektor.POST. Who says engineers are lousy cooks? In this the first part of the series we “gather the ingredients” so we can start configuring the Raspberry Pi and get it up and running.

This article presents a prototyping board which can be used to make building your own interfaces and circuits for the Raspberry Pi easier.

As Murphy's Law says, there are two type of users: those who have lost data and those who are about to lose data.

The RPi Prototyping Board is a simple board, designed to break-out the expansion signals from the Raspberry Pi board and provide additional power for any circuit built in the prototyping area.
