Programming Raspberry Pi and I/Os with Python
A winner of our Raspberry Pi promotion has drawn our attention to an extensive tutorial on the Raspberry Pi. We don't want to keep this tip from you.
In August we raffled off five Raspberry-Pi boards as part of a video. One of them went to a Roland Elmiger in Switzerland. He thanked us for the win and also wrote us:
»Since I teach electronics and electrical engineering at a vocational school, I can use the RPi very well. Nowadays we do a lot to teach the students programming with Python already in elementary school. A colleague of mine, Egid Plüss, has created a complete learning program (Python exemplary), which might also be of interest to the readers of elektroniknet.de. Here is the link to his extensive collection: http://www.aplu.ch/home/apluhomex.jsp«
The Python tutorial is divided into numerous sub-pages and contains many examples of how to control peripherals with the Raspberry Pi. These include, e.g., LEDs, DC, servo and stepper motors, Bluetooth, GSM, etc. Both commercially available peripheral boards are used, but also individual components are presented which are connected via an experimental board. However, some examples, such as TCP/IP data connections, can also be implemented purely in software.
Many thanks to Roland Elmiger for the interesting reference.
