When you run projects on a Raspberry Pi, it doesn’t take long before you realize it needs a way to keep you in the loop. Maybe it’s a sensor that spots motion, a script that finishes a backup, or a temperature spike you want to know about. Over the years, I’ve tested different ways to…
If we ran a poll today, Python, C, and C++ would probably top the list of Raspberry Pi languages. But I recently came across another one. Although it’s not as well-known, it has serious potential, especially if you want speed and performance in your projects. Rust combines the speed of C/C++, the safety of modern…
I have been using my Raspberry Pi for many projects, and this time I decided to try out a project that involved AI. I have been using ChatGPT since it came out, and I felt it’s time I developed a tool that would consume one of its many APIs. After analyzing different projects, I decided…
When I first got a Raspberry Pi, it wasn’t for coding at all. As a Linux sysadmin, I wanted to test its possibilities as a small server. I used it for weeks without writing a single line of code, even though I’m also a web developer. Now, if you ask me whether you really need…
Coding directly on my Raspberry Pi is not the greatest. The lag, tiny screen, and weird keyboard make even small projects more complicated than they need to be. To solve this problem, I began exploring options to code from my main computer instead. After trying everything, I found a few methods that work, and I’ll…
After experimenting with home automation, sensors, and custom scripts to make my Raspberry Pi more useful, I began to wonder: “Could I plug in something smarter?”. ChatGPT turned out to be the missing piece. It’s surprisingly easy to connect the API to your Pi and start building cool, intelligent tools. In this guide, I’ll walk…
You’re not the only one confused about whether to use Bash or Python for Raspberry Pi projects. I’m a developer and penetration tester, and almost every day, new pentesters ask me which is better for a specific task. So, in this article, let me clear that up once and for all. Bash and Python can…
If you’re like me, your Raspberry Pi is always running something: maybe a backup, a network monitor, or a simple script. But doing the same tasks every day gets old fast. That’s where Python helps. With a few simple scripts, your Pi can automatically handle the boring stuff. I’ve tested a bunch and picked the…
Java is one of the world’s most widely used programming languages because of its versatility across platforms. But is it possible to code with Java on the Raspberry Pi? Yes, it works perfectly, and I’ll show you how! To code in Java on a Raspberry Pi, the system must be prepared by installing the required…
When working with Raspberry Pi, you will find that Python and Scratch are the most common languages used for many tasks, including GPIO programming. But did you know you could also use C++ for GPIO programming? And there are some good reasons to do that. C++ can be used to program the Raspberry Pi GPIO…
