IoT using Arduino: Raspberry Pi
Difference between Rpi & Arduino
Arduino Rpi
Arduino comes with an 8- The Raspberry Pi comes with a 64-
bit microcontroller. bit microprocessor.
Raspberry Pi has 1GB of RAM.
Arduino has 2 Kilobytes of RAM.
Raspberry Pi runs an operating system,
Arduino has no operating system. It which is usually Linux. Rpi supports any
can only run programs that were programming while operated in Linux.
compiled for the Arduino platform, A Raspberry Pi is much more
which mostly means programs sophisticated in this regard, having a
written in C++. Video output, an HDMI port, an SD card
port, an Audio jack, CSI camera port, DSI
In terms of I/O, Arduino has an USB- display port, 4 USB 2.0 ports which you
B port that can be used by a can use to attach USB devices, a Gigabit
computer to transfer new programs Ethernet jack, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth
to run, a power input and a set of 4.2 and I/O pins (GPIO) as well. Lots of
I/O pins. things.
Arduino is much more simple.
It’s a mini computer.
ARaspberry Pi consumes more power
Arduino consumes much less power than Arduino (700+ mA).
(~50 mA idle).
Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi board
comprises RAM,
processor, CPU, GPU,
Ethernet port, Xbee socket,
UART and various
interface for other
external devices.
Essential H/W specification
of raspberry pi board
mainly include SD card
containing Linux OS,
keyboard, monitor, video
cable optional specification
includes USB mouse, USB
hub, USB Wi-Fi adapter.
What is Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs
into your TV and a keyboard.
It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the
things that your desktop PC does.
Created by Eben Upton CEO of Raspberry Pi Foundation
Raspberry Pi Foundation goal is to see it being used by kids
all over the world to learn programming.
Various versions of Raspberry Pi
Operating Systems
Raspberry Pi hardware
External Hardware Interfacing
Raspberry Pi Pins
Set up your Raspberry Pi
SD card (Minimum size 4 Gb, recommended 8
Gb)
HDMI to HDMI / DVI lead
RCA video lead (If you are not using the HDMI
output)
Keyboard and mouse (USB 2.0)
Ethernet network cable (optional)
Power adapter (Micro USB)
Audio lead
Setup Procedure
Booting of Raspberry Pi
Download NOOBS
Format the SD card and copy the NOOBS to
SD card
Setup the Raspberry Pi device
Install the OS
raspi-config
Log in
startx
Now system reboots normally
Programming in Raspberry Pi
Python (Primary programming language)
Java
C/C++
HTML5
JavaScript
Scratch (Mathematical and computational
concepts)
JQuery (JavaScript library)
Perl
Erlang
Some important commands
To open the configuration tool after this,
simply run the following from the command
line:
sudo raspi-config
The sudo is required because you will be
changing files that you do not own as the
pi user.
Sample Code-1: LED Blink
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO # Import Raspberry Pi GPIO library
from time import sleep # Import the sleep function from the
time module
GPIO.setwarnings(False) # Ignore warning for now
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) # Use physical pin numbering
GPIO.setup(8, GPIO.OUT, initial=GPIO.LOW) # Set pin 8 to be
an output pin and set initial value to low (off)
while True: # Run forever
GPIO.output(8, GPIO.HIGH) # Turn Pin
on 8: with LED
sleep(1) # Sleep for 1 second
GPIO.output(8, GPIO.LOW) # Turn off
sleep(1) # Sleep for 1 second
Sample Code-2: Button Event
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO # Import Raspberry Pi GPIO library
def button_callback(channel):
print("Button was pushed!")
GPIO.setwarnings(False) # Ignore warning for now
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) # Use physical pin numbering
GPIO.setup(10, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN) #
Set pin 10 to be an input pin and set initial value to be pulled
low (off)
GPIO.add_event_detect(10,GPIO.RISING,callback=button_callb
ack) # Setup event on pin 10 rising edge
message = input("Press enter to quit\n\n") # Run until
someone presses enter
Running
GPIO.cleanup() the code:
# Clean up $ python3
push_button.py
Sample Code-3: SPI LCD with RPi
# The second character
# Clear display msg = [0x7c]
msg = [0x76] msg.append(i)
spi.xfer2(msg) result = spi.xfer2(msg)
time.sleep(5) # The third character
msg = [0x7d]
# Turn on one segment of each character to msg.append(i)
show that we can result = spi.xfer2(msg)
# address all of the segments
i=1 # The last character
while i < 0x7f: msg = [0x7e]
msg.append(i)
# The decimals, colon and apostrophe result = spi.xfer2(msg)
dots
msg = [0x77] # Increment to next segment in each
msg.append(i) character
result = spi.xfer2(msg) i <<= 1
# The first character # Pause so we can see them
msg = [0x7b] time.sleep(5)
msg.append(i)
result = spi.xfer2(msg) # Clear display again
msg = [0x76]
spi.xfer2(msg)
Application of Raspberry Pi
Supercomputer
Developed by Prof
Simon Cox of the
University of
Southampton
Calculating Pi was the
first test
System has 64
processors and 1TB
of memory
Each Raspberry Pi
has 16 Gb of SD card
Robots and Drones
Other Applications
Media streamer
Home automation
Cosmic computer
Tablet computer
Game stations
What’s makes it special?
Low price
Open-source
Low power consumption
Small size
Over clocking
No need of heat-sink
Connect to old analogue TV
Supports 1080p HD video
What’s new?
Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
900 MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor
1 Gb SDRAM
4.5 W power
Supports OS same as for Raspberry Pi 1, plus
Windows 10, Ubuntu and Android
