Home automation is very popular nowadays. A lot of people is interested in automating their homes. There are few things to be noted before implementing in your existing switchboard, a few logical problems may arise like, The Switch can’t able to turn OFF the device until you Turn it OFF with Remote (in case of Parallel connections) or the remote...
Unlike Arduino, the Raspberry Pi won’t run the code until it is executed manually. We need a scheduler to run the python code when the Pi is powered up or rebooted. Crontab (cron table) is scheduler used in Linux to schedule a specific task at a specific time. It is mostly used by Linux system Administrators to automate his...

The Pi organization also announced that it is working on Power Over Ethernet which makes Powering the Pi over Ethernet line. The new...
Blynk is an IoT platform with drag and drop mobile Application. It is an Open-Source Cloud IoT platform to control appliances and monitor sensor data from anywhere in the World. You just need to upload the standard Blynk Program into it (No Coding skills needed) and rest is done by the App itself. This makes the IoT applications with...
Setting up a headless setup for Pi Zero W is simple. The limitation of Pi Zero and Zero W is that it doesn't have an Ethernet port. All we have is a single USB port. We need to use it as an Ethernet via USB technique to access the Pi. There are many tutorials available for this. But if...
Resistors are used to limit the flow of current in the Circuit. There are different values of resistor available from ohms to Giga Ohms. You can calculate the resistance value of a resistor using color coding. It consists of 4 bands. The first two bands denote the digits, the third band is the multiplier and the fourth band is...
In this topic, we will see how to power up the microbit and start coding. Microbit provides two ways to powering it up either via USB Cable or via a battery pack. The USB cable is a micro-USB and it can also be used to flash the HEX Code. HEX Code is a machine understandable code from the program...
Microbit can be programmed using a different type of programming languages. The block editor is easy to program and recommended for beginners. There is no installation needed on your computer. You can simply open the Microbit Make Code website in the web browser and start coding right there. So, let’s discuss this in detail. The first thing, you need to...
