PiFace – Raspberry Pi Interface. Gpio - What advantage does the Pi-Face addon board bring to the Raspberry Pi. It offers a pre-made board (the trade-off is price) that isolates the GPIO pins and protects the Raspberry Pi from damage.

It also provides additional/enhanced capabilities to the basic in/out offered by the Raspberry Pi's GPIO (it includes two relays to control larger power drawing devices, and allows you to connect a variety of sensors to allow the Raspberry Pi to sense and react to its environment - light, ultrasonic, water, etc). What you do with these extra capabilities is really up to you. The Raspberry Pi and its developing ecosystem are fairly new, but the philosophy is similar to that of the Arduino or even Legos give the user the basic building blocks and then let their imagination and ability guide them.

Some examples of what you can do with the extra capabilities provided by the Pi-Face include: build robotshome automation/securityauto pet feederlaundry sorter for the blind/color blind As I said, the possibilities are really only limited by your abilities and imagination.

It sends data from the sensors in UDP. It would only give you the information from the Accelerometer from the list you wanted. Sensor id: 3 - Accelerometer (m/s^2) 4 - Gyroscope (rad/s) 5 - Magnetometer (micro-Tesla uT) Example UDP packet: 890.71558, 3, 0.076, 9.809, 0.565, 4, -0.559, 0.032, -0.134, 5, -21.660,-36.960,-28.140 Timestamp [sec], sensorid, x, y, z, sensorid, x, y, z, sensorid, x, y, z. Configuring the Android ADB. Windows: Instala ADB, Fasboot y drivers Android para Windows en tan sólo 15 segundos. Si eres un usuario avanzado de Android sabrás a qué nos referimos cuando hablamos de ADB, de Fastboot o de los drivers Android y también sabrás que la configuración inicial del entorno suele conllevar bastante tiempo ya que tenemos que descargar numerosos paquetes por separado o el kit de desarrollo oficial y configurar los directorios de funcionamiento.

Making the electronics for a Doppler motion sensor

Passive InfraRed (PIR) sensors are the most used today, as they work by detecting moving heat signatures. However, they are less reliable in the hotter days and obviously only work for animals and humans. Sensors like the one shown in the above picture started to appear on the internet, they use the doppler effect to detect motion. Experiments with Doppler Microwave Sensor. X-Band (10.525 GHz) Doppler Microwave Sensor with NI USB-6009 Data Acquisition Device.

Tindarians have access to secret & unreleased features. Their product listings are automatically approved, and do not have to wait for our approval process. How does one become a Tindarian? We look for the most active & best members of the Tindie community, and invite them to join. There isn't a selection process or form to fill out. Making the electronics for a $7 USD doppler motion sensor - Limpkin's blog. I had no idea that you could find this kind of motion sensors on the internet for so cheap...

But they come with a catch: you need to design some electronics for them. I'm sure you're quite familiar with the Doppler effect: you send an RF signal at a given frequency to a target, and if this object/person is moving the reflected signal's frequency will be shifted. This is the reason why a fire truck's siren has a higher pitch when the truck is going towards you than when it is going away. INSTRUCTABLES: Raspberry pi loves Sensors and LEDs.

Make sure the tools are installed... to test if the tool are installed run the following command..sudo i2cdetect -y 0 this will scan all devices connected to the I2C bus. it should look like the pic below. if you see that i2ctools are not installed run the following comand sudo apt-get install i2c-tools also install sudo apt-get install python-smbus.

Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 4. GPIO Setup. The I2C bus allows multiple devices to be connected to your Raspberry Pi, each with a unique address, that can often be set by changing jumper settings on the module.

It is very useful to be able to see which devices are connected to your Pi as a way of making sure everything is working.
