The Ebyte LoRa E32 library is a comprehensive tool designed to facilitate seamless communication with LoRa wireless modules. Developed for programmers and tech enthusiasts alike, the library enables a smooth interfacing with Ebyte’s LoRa E32 devices using MicroPython, a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language.
Ebyte LoRa E32 series are a collection of wireless transceiver modules. In this article series, we will explore the Ebyte LoRa E32 device and its integration with MicroPython. This first article will focus on the specifications and basic use of the device.
What started as a simple review of the TS7-Pro display for a project, has evolved into a comprehensive examination of a Raspberry Pi setup. This setup features the TS7-Pro display, a night vision camera, a SunFounder PiPower module, and a DIY 3D printed rechargeable battery pack. Witness how the night vision camera effectively captures detailed images, even in low-light conditions.
Let’s explore the SunFounder Pironman Mini PC for Raspberry Pi, featuring a built-in M.2 SATA SSD slot for improvements in storage performance. This compact case, complete with an efficient cooling system and a pleasing aesthetic, could be the ultimate choice for maximizing the potential of your Raspberry Pi.
Building and Programming Your PiCar-X: A guide to getting started with your robot car using EzBlock programming language. Learn how to assemble the parts, program your PiCar-X using drag-and-drop blocks, 3D print a simple LED holder to add lights to your car, and create a blink example. Also, learn how to use a button to turn the LEDs on and off, as well as control the camera.
We have already talked about the internal flash memories for rp2040 boards and other microcontrollers, which are very useful for storing pages or static files. However, they are not suitable for logging or similar applications, so we will learn how to connect and use an SD card which can have a lot of space, a very small form factor, and low power consumption.
Even though Raspberry Pi Foundation has released the Pico W version, I still find this tutorial useful for adding WiFi to rp2040 boards using an ESP32.
We will use an esp32-wroom-32 (or esp32-s) as WiFi coprocessor and the full potential WiFiNINA library to handle it.
Whoever has started to peek into the wonderful world of small electronics will undoubtedly have read about Raspberry Pi or Arduino boards. This is where I personally started to ask myself, what is the right board for which project?
In this article, we are going to explore the w5500 module with our Raspberry Pi Pico, w and the other rp2040 boards. w5500 is a quite powerful device that allows an Ethernet wired connection.
We continue to explore the rp2040 devices, very interesting microcontrollers. All prototype boards come with integrated SPI Flash. Raspberry Pi selected the LittleFS filesystem to manage this storage, a good compromise between functionality and performance.
