rpi-examples

This repository provides various examples for using peripheral devices such as sensors, buzzers, relays and add-on boards on Raspberry Pi single board computers written in popular programming languages C, C++, Python, etc. All examples are available under MIT license.

These examples are appropriate for beginners. Hopefully, they will encourage more developers to join the Raspberry Pi community and to help them get started easily with various peripheral devices for both professional and hobby and DIY projects.

Notes

If you are interested in running any of the examples for I2C written in C/C++ as a regular user (not root) perform the following steps:

  • Remove line "wiringPiSetup();" in "HTU21D_test.c"
  • Add your user in "i2c" group

Buzzer

C

Beep

Simple application to test if a piezo buzzer attached to pin 11 is working.

Install wiringPi and after that execute the following command to build the application:

cd buzzer/c/
gcc beep.c -o beep -lwiringPi -std=c99

Execute the following command to run the application:

sudo ./beep

Star Wars

Implementation of the Imperial March from Star Wars.

Install wiringPi and after that execute the following command to build the application:

cd buzzer/c/
gcc starwars.c -o starwars -lwiringPi -std=c99

Execute the following command to play the Imperial March:

sudo ./starwars

TSL2561

Install i2c tools:

sudo apt-get install i2c-tools

Enable i2c on Raspberry Pi with Raspian GNU/Linux distribution:

sudo raspi-config

Go to Advanced Options > A7 I2C and reboot the board

Verify that TSL2561 is detected on i2c address 39 on bus 1:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 39 -- -- -- -- -- -- 
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Build and run the source code

cd TSL2561/c/
make
./TSL2561_test

MAX44009 Ambient Light Sensor Module

Build and run the source code

cd MAX44009/c/
make
./MAX44009_test

The example written in the C programming language has been cotributed by Pixel_K.
