7. lnstalllng OS on Raspberry Pi
a) Installation using Pilmager
b) Installation using image file
• Downloading an Image
• Writing the image to an SD card
• using Linux
• using Windows
• Booting up
Aim: To install OS on Raspberry Pi.
Software Required:
1. Raspberry Pi
2. Internet
Procedure:
FORMAT THE SD CARD:
Locate your SD card drive, in Windows Explorer, and secondary-click the mouse to bring
up the context-sensitive menu. From the menu select Formate .... Ensure that the option FAT32
IDefualt) is selected and click start.

Formatting the SD card
USING WIN32DISKIMAGER:
Having plugged in your SD card, (re)start Win32Diskimager. Choose the drive you want to copy the
image to (in my case F:).
Choose the drive with your SD card to write the OS image on
Then click on the folder icon and choose the unzipped .img file from earlier that you want to put
on the SD card. Then click Write, to write the Operating system on the card from the .img file.

8. Accessing GPIO pins using Python
a) Installing GPIO Zero library.
First, update your repositories list: sudo apt update
Then install the package for Python 3: sudo apt install python3-gpiozero
Aim: To install GPIO Zero library.
Software Required:
1. Web Browser
2. Internet
Procedure:
Install from repository:
If the package exists in the raspbian repository is can be installed using apt-get.
First you need to update the available package versions.
sudo apt-get update
Then attempt to install the Rpi.GPIO package:
sudo apt-get install rpi.gpio
If it isn't already installed it will be installed.If it is already installed it will be upgraded if a
newer version is available.
Result: Hence, the GPIO Zero library is installed.

b) Blinking an LED connected to one of the GPIO pin
Aim: To blink an LED connected to one of the GPIO pin.
Software Required:
1. Raspberry Pi
2. Internet
Program:
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time led Pin= 11 # GPIO 17
delay = 1 # ls loopCnt = 100
def main():
for i in range(l0):
print("LED turning on.")
GPIO.output(ledPin, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(0.5)
print("LED turning off.")
GPIO.output(ledPin, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(0.5)
def setup():
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(ledPin, GPIO.OUT) # initialize GPIO pin as OUTPUT pin
GPIO,output(ledPin, GPIO.LOW)
if _name_== '_ main_':
setup()
main()
GPIO.cleanup() # free up the

Output:
LED turning on.
LED turning off.
LED turning on.

LED turning off.
LED turning on.
LED turning off.
>>>
Result: Hence, GPIO pins are accessed to blink an LEO.

c) Adjusting the brightness of an LED
Adjust the brightness of an LED (Oto 100, where 100 means maximum brightness)
using the in-built PWM wavelength.
Aim: To adjust the brightness of an LED.
Software Required :
1. Raspberry Pi
2. Internet
Program:
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(ll, GPIO.OUT)
p = GPIO.PWM(ll, 100)
p.start(0)
while True:
for x in range (0, 100, 1):
p.ChangeDutyCycle(x)
time.sleep(0.1)
for x in range (100, 0, -1):
p.ChangeDutyCycle(x)
time.sleep(0.1)
Output:
LED turning on.
LED turning off.
LED turning on.
LED turning off.
Result: Hence, GPIO pins are accessed to adjust the brightness of an LED.
