Flask is a popular and powerful Python package that can build great web applications on the Raspberry Pi. The setup process and first steps can be difficult. Don’t worry, I will guide you through the process and we will create our first application together. The Flask package can be installed on the Pi using the…
The GPIO pins on Raspberry Pi are a great feature you need to know about. As a Linux administrator, I mainly used the Pi for testing systems and software initially. But to go further and create your own electronics and programs, you need to learn how to use the GPIO pins. The GPIO pins allow…
The GPIO pins, found on each Raspberry Pi, are one of the best features to expand the device’s capabilities. But it’s not easy to get started because the pins seem to be numbered randomly, and it isn’t even the same as what’s used in your code. Don’t worry, that’s why I created this article. On…
Python comes preinstalled on Raspberry Pi OS, giving us the flexibility to build powerful projects right out of the box. But when it comes to numerical computing, NumPy is one of the most essential libraries that unlock Python’s full potential. This post will give you a step-by-step guide for installing NumPy on your system, followed…
Scratch on a Raspberry Pi is a fun way to learn about computers and coding! Scratch is a graphical programming language with a drag-and-drop interface. It lets you make your own stories, games, and animations. Want to give it a try? Let me help you get started. Scratch comes pre-installed with Raspberry Pi OS. It…
OpenCV is often used to promote Raspberry Pi capabilities. Even if the Pi is an inexpensive piece of hardware, showing it with a camera, using artificial intelligence and electronics is pretty impressive. But before doing all of this, you have to set it up correctly, and it isn’t straightforward for beginners. That’s why I wrote…
Raspberry Pi and Python work well together, and Python comes pre-installed on your Raspberry Pi OS. But as often with computers and programming, it’s not always that simple. In this article, I’ll tell and show you everything you need to know about the Python versions on your Raspberry Pi. The only way to install the…
The Raspberry Pi is a great tool for many home projects, and one project I tested early on in my Raspberry Pi journey was controlling the lights in my home. Want to try it? Here’s how. Most smart lights (like Philips Hue) come with a master device that is accessible through an API (the bridge)….
Anaconda is a popular open-source platform mainly used by people working with Python or R. It helps manage different environments in the same system. It also has a package manager called Conda that can be used to download and maintain dependencies. While Anaconda is not supported by Raspberry Pi, Miniforge can provide the same core…
While Python is installed by default on all Raspberry Pi OS versions, this isn’t necessarily the case with PIP, the Python packages installer. As PIP is useful for most Python projects, you’ll often need to address this error as soon as possible. Here is how to do it. The error ‘-bash: pip: command not found’…
