In the previous tutorial I covered how to setup an Apache web server to host a simple website. But what happens if you want to setup WordPress? In this tutorial I show you how to setup PHP, MySQL, and WordPress on your Pi!
How to setup an Apache web server on your Raspberry Pi and access that website either via LAN or through your external IP address (internet).
Arduinos are great. The Raspberry Pi is pretty cool too. Together, they’re spectacular. However writing separate codes in different languages to have the two units works together is a bit of a hassle. In this tutorial I show you how to stream commands from the Raspberry Pi to the Arduino using UART serial communication. The package is Nanpy, allowing you to run Arduino commands in a Python script.
In the previous tutorial I showed you how to connect your Raspberry Pi to an ATMEGA328P AVR microcontroller and program it using SPI. Now I am going to show you how to connect to the ATMEGA328P through UART using trivial serial monitor communication.
How to program an Atmel AVR ATMEGA328P chip with Arduino bootloader preloaded via the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO header! In this tutorial we walk through programming the ATMEGA328P to blink a LED through the SPI bus a the Raspberry Pi.
How to establish two way communication between a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino using a NRF24L01+ transceiver. These are inexpensive transceivers allowing for high speed long range communication sending upwards of 2 Mbps. This is a master / slave setup between the Raspberry Pi and Arduino, following up on a previous setup tutorial.
How to send bytes of data between a Raspberry Pi and Arduino using a NRF24L01+ transceiver! These low cost transceivers allow for communication ranges on the order of 30m using only a few jumper wires.
The NRF24L01 + is an inexpensive low power high speed communication device! It’s not exactly plug and plug on a Raspberry Pi though, as compared to a wifi dongle. Building upon the previous tutorial, in this tutorial I show you how to establish two way communication between two Raspberry Pis connected to two NRF24L01+ transceivers! I’m talking master and slave communication style simulating pulling data from a sensor.
The NRF24L01 + is an inexpensive low power high speed communication device! It’s not exactly plug and plug on a Raspberry Pi though, as compared to a wifi dongle. In this tutorial I show you how to establish one way communication between two Raspberry Pis connected to two NRF24L01+ transceivers!
Putting together what we’ve learned from the past few Raspberry Pi tutorials, we catch our Cookie Thief! This video is part of a series of building a practically ‘useful’ security system using Raspberry Pi to catch the Cookie Thief. I am not a computer scientist, software engineer, programmer or electrical engineer. Everything I cover was self taught using resources I found on the web. I thought it would be great to put together a series of videos that consolidates what I have learned to yield a single resource to cover many interesting topics about the Raspberry Pi! Having said…
This video is part of a series of building a practically ‘useful’ security system using Raspberry Pi to catch the Cookie Thief. I am not a computer scientist, software engineer, programmer or electrical engineer. Everything I cover was self taught using resources I found on the web. I thought it would be great to put together a series of videos that consolidates what I have learned to yield a single resource to cover many interesting topics about the Raspberry Pi! Having said that, due to my relatively little experience, I may have made mistakes or could have done certain things…
The last couple videos setup our server and client using trivial text based examples. We need to get this doing something practical! I show you how to flip a relay based on temperature readings from a TMP36. Starting to bring it together.

Part 1 of programming in Python how to use the analog digital converter MCP3008 (or MCP3004) to pull temperature from TMP36 or photoresistor!
How to wire up a MCP3008 to a Raspberry Pi to be able to pull analog sensor values from your Pi’s GPIO!
I thought I would mention that you should do some research before flipping big power using a relay. Don’t hurt yourself.
