INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON
What is Python?

Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van

Rossum, and released in 1991.

Python is a dynamic, high level, free open source and interpreted

programming language. It supports object-oriented programming as well as
procedural oriented programming.
In Python, we don’t need to declare the type of variable because it is a dynamically
typed language.

For example, x = 10
Here, x can be anything such as String, int, etc.

It is used for:

 web development (server-side),

 software development,
 mathematics,
 system scripting.

What can Python do?

 Python can be used on a server to create web applications.
 Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.
 Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify
files.
 Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex
mathematics.
 Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready
software development.
 3

Why Python?
 Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi,
etc).
 Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
 Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer
lines than some other programming languages.
 Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be
executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very
quick.
 Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way or a
functional way.

Python Syntax compared to other programming

languages
 Python was designed for readability, and has some similarities to the
English language with influence from mathematics.
 Python uses new lines to complete a command, as opposed to other
programming languages which often use semicolons or parentheses.
 Python relies on indentation, using whitespace, to define scope; such as
the scope of loops, functions and classes. Other programming languages
often use curly-brackets for this purpose.

Python Features

There are many features in Python, some of which are discussed below –
1. Easy to code:
Python is a high-level programming language. Python is very easy to
learn the language as compared to other languages like C, C#, Javascript, Java, etc. It
is very easy to code in python language and anybody can learn python basics in a
few hours or days. It is also a developer-friendly language.

2. Free and Open Source:

Python language is freely available at the official website and you can download
it from the given download link below click on the Download Python keyword.
Since it is open-source, this means that source code is also available to the public. So
you can download it as, use it as well as share it.
 4

3. Object-Oriented Language:
One of the key features of python is Object-Oriented programming. Python
supports object-oriented language and concepts of classes, objects encapsulation,
etc.

4. GUI Programming Support:

Graphical User interfaces can be made using a module such as
PyQt5, PyQt4, wxPython, or Tk in python.
PyQt5 is the most popular option for creating graphical apps with Python.

5. High-Level Language:
Python is a high-level language. When we write programs in python,
we do not need to remember the system architecture, nor do we need to
manage the memory.

6. Extensible feature:
Python is a Extensible language. We can write us some Python code
into C or C++ language and also we can compile that code in C/C++ language.

7. Python is Portable language:

Python language is also a portable language. For example, if we have python
code for windows and if we want to run this code on other platforms such as
Linux, Unix, and Mac then we do not need to change it, we can run this code on
any platform.

8. Python is Integrated language:

Python is also an Integrated language because we can easily
integrated python with other languages like c, c++, etc.

9. Interpreted Language:
Python is an Interpreted Language because Python code is executed
line by line at a time. like other languages C, C++, Java, etc. there is no need to
compile python code this makes it easier to debug our code. The source code
of python is converted into an immediate form called bytecode.

10. Large Standard Library

Python has a large standard library which provides a rich set of
module and functions so you do not have to write your own code for every
single thing. There are many libraries present in python for such as regular
expressions, unit-testing, web browsers, etc.
 5

11. Dynamically Typed Language:

Python is a dynamically-typed language. That means the type (for
example- int, double, long, etc.) for a variable is decided at run time not in
advance because of this feature we don’t need to specify the type of variable.

What is Python IDE

Python code editors are designed for the developers to code and
debug program easily. Using these Python IDEs(Integrated Development
Environment), you can manage a large codebase and achieve quick deployment.

Python IDE is a free and open source software that is used to write codes,
integrate several modules and libraries.

It is available for installation into PC with Windows, Linux and Mac.

Examples: Spyder, PyCharm,jupyter etc.

Data Types in Python

Python has five standard Data Types:

 Numbers
 String
 List
 Tuple
 Dictionary

Python sets the variable type based on the value that is assigned to it. Unlike more
riggers languages, Python will change the variable type if the variable value is set to
another value. For example:

var = 123 # This will create a number integer assignment

var = 'john' # the `var` variable is now a string type.
 6

Numbers
Python numbers variables are created by the standard Python method:

var = 382

Most of the time using the standard Python number type is fine. Python will
automatically convert a number from one type to another if it needs. But, under certain
circumstances that a specific number type is needed (ie. complex, hexidecimal), the
format can be forced into a format by using additional syntax in the table below:

Type Format Description

int a = 10 Signed Integer

(L) Long integers, they can also be represented in octal and

long a = 345L
hexadecimal

a=
float (.) Floating point real values
45.67

complex a = 3.14J (J) Contains integer in the range 0 to 255.

Most of the time Python will do variable conversion automatically. You can also use
Python conversion functions (int(), long(), float(), complex()) to convert data from one
type to another. In addition, the type function returns information about how your data
is stored within a variable.

message = "Good morning"

num = 85
pi = 3.14159

print(type(message)) # This will return a string

print(type(n)) # This will return an integer
print(type(pi)) # This will return a float
 7

String
Create string variables by enclosing characters in quotes. Python uses single
quotes ' double quotes " and triple quotes """ to denote literal strings. Only the
triple quoted strings """ also will automatically continue across the end of line
statement.

firstName = 'john'
lastName = "smith"
message = """This is a string that will span across multiple lines. Using newline
characters
and no spaces for the next lines. The end of lines within this string also count as a
newline when printed"""

Strings can be accessed as a whole string, or a substring of the complete variable using
brackets ‘[]’. Here are a couple examples:

var1 = 'Hello World!'

var2 = 'RhinoPython'

print var1[0] # this will print the first character in the string an `H`
print var2[1:5] # this will print the substring 'hinoP`

Python can use a special syntax to format multiple strings and numbers. The string
formatter is quickly covered here because it is seen often and it is important to
recognize the syntax.

print "The item {} is repeated {} times".format(element,count))

The {} are placeholders that are substituted by the variables element and count in
the final string. This compact syntax is meant to keep the code more readable and
compact.
Python is currently transitioning to the format syntax above, but python can use an
older syntax, which is being phased out, but is still seen in some example code:

print "The item %i is repeated %i times"% (element,count)

 8

List
Lists are a very useful variable type in Python. A list can contain a series of values. List
variables are declared by using brackets [ ] following the variable name.

A = [ ] # This is a blank list variable

B = [1, 23, 45, 67] # this list creates an initial list of 4 numbers.
C = [2, 4, 'john'] # lists can contain different variable types.

All lists in Python are zero-based indexed. When referencing a member or the length of
a list the number of list elements is always the number shown plus one.

mylist = ['Rhino', 'Grasshopper', 'Flamingo', 'Bongo']

B = len(mylist) # This will return the length of the list which is 3. The index is 0,
1, 2, 3.
print mylist[1] # This will return the value at index 1, which is 'Grasshopper'
print mylist[0:2] # This will return the first 3 elements in the list.

You can assign data to a specific element of the list using an index into the list. The list
index starts at zero. Data can be assigned to the elements of an array as follows:

mylist = [0, 1, 2, 3]
mylist[0] = 'Rhino'
mylist[1] = 'Grasshopper'
mylist[2] = 'Flamingo'
mylist[3] = 'Bongo'
print mylist[1]

Lists aren’t limited to a single dimension. Although most people can’t comprehend more
than three or four dimensions. You can declare multiple dimensions by separating an
with commas. In the following example, the MyTable variable is a two-dimensional array
:

MyTable = [[], []]

In a two-dimensional array, the first number is always the number of rows; the second
number is the number of columns.
 9

Tuple
Tuples are a group of values like a list and are manipulated in similar ways. But, tuples
are fixed in size once they are assigned. In Python the fixed size is considered immutable
as compared to a list that is dynamic and mutable. Tuples are defined by parenthesis ().

myGroup = ('Rhino', 'Grasshopper', 'Flamingo', 'Bongo')

Here are some advantages of tuples over lists:

1. Elements to a tuple. Tuples have no append or extend method.

2. Elements cannot be removed from a tuple.
3. You can find elements in a tuple, since this doesn’t change the tuple.
4. You can also use the in operator to check if an element exists in the tuple.
5. Tuples are faster than lists. If you’re defining a constant set of values and all you’re
ever going to do with it is iterate through it, use a tuple instead of a list.
6. It makes your code safer if you “write-protect” data that does not need to be
changed.

It seems tuples are very restrictive, so why are they useful? There are many
datastructures in Rhino that require a fixed set of values. For instance a Rhino point is a
list of 3 numbers [34.5, 45.7, 0] . If this is set as tuple, then you can be assured the
original 3 number structure stays as a point (34.5, 45.7, 0) . There are other
datastructures such as lines, vectors, domains and other data in Rhino that also require a
certain set of values that do not change. Tuples are great for this.

Dictionary
Dictionaries in Python are lists of Key : Value pairs. This is a very powerful datatype to
hold a lot of related information that can be associated through keys . The main
operation of a dictionary is to extract a value based on the key name. Unlike lists,
where index numbers are used, dictionaries allow the use of a key to access its
members. Dictionaries can also be used to sort, iterate and compare data.
Dictionaries are created by using braces ({}) with pairs separated by a comma
(,) and the key values associated with a colon(:). In Dictionaries the Key must be unique.
Here is a quick example on how dictionaries might be used:

room_num = {'john': 425, 'tom': 212}

room_num['john'] = 645 # set the value associated with the 'john' key to 645
 10

print (room_num['tom']) # print the value of the 'tom' key.

room_num['isaac'] = 345 # Add a new key 'isaac' with the associated value
print (room_num.keys()) # print out a list of keys in the dictionary
print ('isaac' in room_num) # test to see if 'issac' is in the dictionary. This
returns true.

Dictionaries can be more complex to understand, but they are great to store data that is
easy to access.

Loops and Control Statements

Python programming language provides following types of loops to handle looping
requirements.
While Loop
Syntax :
while expression:
statement(s)
In Python, all the statements indented by the same number of character spaces after
a programming construct are considered to be part of a single block of code. Python
uses indentation as its method of grouping statements.

# prints Hello Geek 3 Times

count = 0

while (count < 3):

count = count+1

print("Hello Geek")

Output:
Hello Geek
Hello Geek
 11

Hello Geek

If statements
Python supports the usual logical conditions from mathematics:

 Equals: a == b
 Not Equals: a != b
 Less than: a < b
 Less than or equal to: a <= b
 Greater than: a > b
 Greater than or equal to: a >= b

These conditions can be used in several ways, most commonly in "if

statements" and loops.

An "if statement" is written by using the if keyword.

Example
If statement:

a = 33
b = 200
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")

Try it Yourself »

In this example we use two variables, a and b, which are used as part of the if
statement to test whether b is greater than a. As a is 33, and b is 200, we know
that 200 is greater than 33, and so we print to screen that "b is greater than a".
 12

Indentation
Python relies on indentation (whitespace at the beginning of a line) to define
scope in the code. Other programming languages often use curly-brackets for
this purpose.

Example
If statement, without indentation (will raise an error):

a = 33
b = 200
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a") # you will get an error

Try it Yourself »

Elif
The elif keyword is pythons way of saying "if the previous conditions were not
true, then try this condition".

Example
a = 33
b = 33
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
elif a == b:
print("a and b are equal")

Try it Yourself »

In this example a is equal to b, so the first condition is not true, but

the elif condition is true, so we print to screen that "a and b are equal".
 13

Else
The else keyword catches anything which isn't caught by the preceding
conditions.

Example
a = 200
b = 33
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
elif a == b:
print("a and b are equal")
else:
print("a is greater than b")

Try it Yourself »

In this example a is greater than b, so the first condition is not true, also
the elif condition is not true, so we go to the else condition and print to
screen that "a is greater than b".

You can also have an else without the elif:

Example
a = 200
b = 33
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
else:
print("b is not greater than a")

Python For Loops

A for loop is used for iterating over a sequence (that is either a list, a tuple, a
dictionary, a set, or a string).

This is less like the for keyword in other programming languages, and works
more like an iterator method as found in other object-orientated programming
languages.
 14

With the for loop we can execute a set of statements, once for each item in a
list, tuple, set etc.

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

for x in fruits:
print(x)

Python Functions

A function is a block of code which only runs when it is called.

You can pass data, known as parameters, into a function.

A function can return data as a result.

Creating a Function
In Python a function is defined using the def keyword:

Example
def my_function():
print("Hello from a function")

Calling a Function
To call a function, use the function name followed by parenthesis:

Example
def my_function():
print("Hello from a function")

my_function()

 Example showing function returning multiple values def greater(x, y):

• if x > y:
return x, y
 15

else:
return y, x
val = greater(10, 100) print(val)

• Output:: (100,10)
Functions as Objects
Functions can also be assigned and reassigned to the variables
Example:
def add (a,b):
return a+b
print (add(4,6))
c = add(4,6)
print c
Output:: 10 10

Variable Scope in Python :

Global variables: These are the variables declared
out of any function , but can be accessed inside as
well as outside the function.
Local variables: These are the ones that are
declared inside a function
Example of Global Variables :
g_var = 10
def example():
l_var = 100
print(g_var)
example() # calling the function
 16

Output:: 10

Example showing Variable scope

var = 10 # declaring globally

def example():
var = 100 #declaring locally
print(var)
example() # calling the function
print(var)
Output

100
10

Modules concept in Python

A module allows you to logically organize your Python code. Grouping

related code into a module makes the code easier to understand and use.
A module is a Python object with arbitrarily named attributes that you can
bind and reference.
Simply, a module is a file consisting of Python code. A module can define
functions, classes and variables. A module can also include runnable code.
 17

The import Statement

You can use any Python source file as a module by executing an import
statement in some other Python source file. The import has the following
syntax −
import module1[, module2[,... moduleN]

When the interpreter encounters an import statement, it imports the module if the
module is present in the search path. A search path is a list of directories that the
interpreter searches before importing a module. For example, to import the module
support.py, you need to put the following command at the top of the script –

Syntax:

import module_name #At the top of the code

using module_name.var #To access functions and values with ‘var’ in

the module

Example:
import random
for i in range(1,10):
val = random.randint(1,10)
print (val)

Output:: varies with each execution

We can also access only a particular

function from a module. 
Example:
from math import pi
print (pi)

Output:: 3.14159
 18

Exception Handling in Python

An error that is generated during execution of a
program, is termed as exception. 
Syntax:
try:
statements
except _Exception_:
statements
else:
statements
Example:
while True:
try:
n = input ("Please enter an integer: ")
n = int (n)
break
except ValueError:
print "No valid integer! "
print “It is an integer!"

File Read Write Operations

Python allows you to read and write files

No separate module or library required
 19

Three basic steps

Open a file
Read/Write
Close the file

Opening Files in Python

Python has a built-in open() function to open a file. This function returns a file
object, also called a handle, as it is used to read or modify the file accordingly.

Open() function is used to open a file, returns a

file object
open(file_name, mode)
We can specify the mode while opening a file. In mode, we specify whether
we want to read r , write w or append a to the file. We can also specify if we
want to open the file in text mode or binary mode.
The default is reading in text mode. In this mode, we get strings when reading
from the file.

On the other hand, binary mode returns bytes and this is the mode to be used
when dealing with non-text files like images or executable files.

Mode Description

r Opens a file for reading. (default)

w Opens a file for writing. Creates a new file if it does not exist or truncates the file if it exists.
 20

x Opens a file for exclusive creation. If the file already exists, the operation fails.

Opens a file for appending at the end of the file without truncating it. Creates a new file if it doe
a
exist.

t Opens in text mode. (default)

b Opens in binary mode.

+ Opens a file for updating (reading and writing)

Read from a file: 

read(): Reads from a file
file=open(‘data.txt’, ‘r’) file.read()
Write to a file: 
Write(): Writes to a file
file=open(‘data.txt’, ‘w’) file.write(‘writing to the file’)

Closing a file: 

Close(): This is done to ensure that the file is free to use for
other resources

file.close()

Using WITH to open a file:

Good practice to handle exception while file read/write
operation
 21

Ensures the file is closed after the operation is completed,

even if an exception is encountered
with open(“data.txt","w") as file:
file.write(“writing to the text file”)
file.close()
 22

Image Read ,Write Operations

 Python supports PIL library for image related operations
 Install PIL through PIP
sudo pip install pillow
PIL is supported till python version 2.7. Pillow supports the 3x
version of python.

Reading Image in Python:

 PIL: Python Image Library is used to work with image files
from PIL import Image
 Open an image file
image=Image.open(image_name)
 Display the image
image.show()

Resize(): Resizes the image to the specified size

 23

image.resize(255,255)
Rotate(): Rotates the image to the specified degrees, counter
clockwise
image.rotate(90)

Format: Gives the format of the image

Size: Gives a tuple with 2 values as width and height of the
image, in pixels

Mode: Gives the band of the image, ‘L’ for grey scale, ‘RGB’ for
true colour image

print(image.format, image.size, image.mode)

Convert image to different mode:

 Any image can be converted from one mode to ‘L’ or ‘RGB’
mode
conv_image=image.convert(‘L’)
 Conversion between modes other that ‘L’ and ‘RGB’ needs
conversion into any of these 2 intermediate mode
24
 25

Networking in Python
 Python provides network services for client server model.
 Socket support in the operating system allows to
implement clients and servers for both connection-
oriented and connectionless protocols.
 Python has libraries that provide higher-level access to
specific application-level network protocols.

Syntax for creating a socket:

s = socket.socket (socket_family, socket_type,protocol=0)

socket_family − AF_UNIX or AF_INET

socket_type − SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM
protocol − default ‘0’.

INTRODUCTION TO RASPBERRY PI

What is a Raspberry Pi?

Raspberry pi is a low cost minicomputer with the physical size of a credit card.
Raspberry Pi runs various flavors of Linux and can perform almost all tasks that a normal
desktop computer can do. In addition to this , Raspberry Pi allows interfacing sensors, actuators ,
through th general purpose I/O pins(GPIO) .Since Raspberry Pi runs Linus Operating system, it
supports Python “out of the box”.

Differences between Raspberry Pi and Arduino

Both Arduino and Raspberry Pi are good teaching tools for
students, beginners and hobbyists. Let us see some of the differences between
Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

 The main difference between them is: Arduino is microcontroller board,

while Raspberry Pi is a microprocessor based mini computer (SBC).
 The Microcontroller on the Arduino board contains the CPU, RAM and
ROM. All the additional hardware on Arduino Board is for power supply,
programming and IO Connectivity. Raspberry Pi SBC has all features of a
computer with a processor, memory, storage, graphics driver, connectors
on the board.
 Raspberry Pi needs an Operating System to run. Arduino doesn’t need any
operating system. All you need is a binary of the compiled source code.
 Raspberry Pi comes with a fully functional operating system called
Raspberry Pi OS (previously known as Raspbian OS). Although Pi can use
different operating systems, Linux is preferred by Raspberry Pi
Foundation. You can install Android, if you want. Arduino does not have
any operating system. You just need a firmware instructing the
Microcontroller what task to do.
 The clock speed of Arduino is 16 MHz while the clock speed of Raspberry
Pi is around 1.2 GHz.
 Raspberry Pi is good for developing software applications using Python,
while Arduino is good for interfacing Sensors and controlling LEDs and
Motors.
 This doesn’t mean we cannot connect sensors and LEDs to Raspberry Pi.
To encourage learning programming by controlling hardware, the
Raspberry Pi consists of a 40-pin GPIO, through which you can connect
 28

different electronic components like LEDs, Buttons, Sensors, Motors etc.

On Arduino, the GPIO is called as Digital IO (for digital Input and Output)
and Analog IN (for Analog Input).
 Using Arduino Shields, which plug into the Arduino Pin headers, you can
add a dedicated feature or functionality like a Motor Driver, Ethernet
Connection, SD Card Reader, Wi-Fi, Touchscreens, cameras etc. to
Arduino. While Raspberry Pi is a self-contained board, you can add
external hardware like Touchscreen, GPS, RGB panels etc. to Raspberry
Pi. The Raspberry Pi Hardware Attached on Top or HAT Expansion
Boards are inspired by Arduino Shields, using which you can add
additional functionality to Raspberry Pi. They are connected to the GPIO
Pins.
 The power requirements of Raspberry Pi and Arduino are completely
different. Even though they both are powered by USB (micro-USB or USB
Type C for Raspberry Pi and USB Type B for Arduino), Raspberry Pi
needs more more current than Arduino. So, you need a power adapter for
Raspberry Pi but you can power Arduino from the USB port of a Computer.
 Power interruption for Raspberry Pi may cause damage to the hardware,
software or applications. In case of Arduino, if there is any power cut it
again restarts. So, Raspberry Pi must be properly shutdown before
disconnecting power.
 Arduino uses Arduino IDE for developing the code. While Raspberry Pi can
use Python IDLE, Eclipse IDE or any other IDE that is supported by Linux.
You can also program using the terminal itself with any text editor like Vim.
 Using the open-source hardware and software files of Arduino, you can
essentially create your own Arduino board. This is not possible with
Raspberry Pi as it is not open-source.
 The cost of original Arduino UNO is $23 but there are several clones of
Arduino which are available for less than $4. Coming to Raspberry Pi, the
original Raspberry Pi SBC was around $35, but the latest Raspberry Pi 4
Model B is available in different price points ($35, $55 or $75) depending
on the memory configuration.

Raspberry Pi hardware specifications

Explanation about board components

1. System on Chip

The System on Chip (SoC) architecture that the Raspberry Pi 2 implements is the Broadcom

BCM2836, which we touched upon earlier in this chapter. This contains a CPU, GPU, SDRAM,

and single USB port. Each of these items is discussed in more detail under the appropriate

heading.
 32

2. CPU

A central processing unit is the brain of your Raspberry Pi. It is responsible for processing

machine instructions, which are the result of your compiled programs.

3. GPU

The graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialist chip designed to handle the
complex mathematics required to render graphics.

4. 4 USB 2.0 ports and 1 SoC on-board USB

The previous version of the Raspberry Pi Model B contained only a single microUSB port and
a two standard USB ports. The Raspberry Pi 2 has been expanded to include an onboard 5-
port USB hub.

This allows you to connect four standard USB cables to the device and a single microUSB
cable. The micro USB port can be used to power your Raspberry Pi 2.

5. SD card Slot

Raspberry Pi does not have a builtin operating a system and storage. You can Plug-in SD card loaded
with a Linux image to the SD card slot.

6. DSI display connector –

used to attach an LCD panel. On the other side of the board is a microSD card
slot that holds the operating system.

7. Camera Serial Interface(CSI)

This interface can be used to connect a camera module to Raspberry Pi.

8. Status LED’s :
Raspberry Pi has 5 status LED’s
 33

Status LED FUNCTIONS

ACT SD card access
PWR 3.3 V power is present
FDX Full Duplex Lan connected
LNK Link/Network activity
100 100 Mbit Lan connected

9. Ethernet port

If you plan to place your Raspberry Pi near a router or switch or have

enough Ethernet cable, then you can connect your Raspberry Pi directly with the
Ethernet jack.

The Raspberry Pi 2 supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, and the USB adapter in the
third/fourth port of USB hub can also be used for Ethernet via a USB to Ethernet

10. GPIO pins

The main method for interacting with electronic components and expansion boards
is through the general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins on the Raspberry Pi.

The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B contains 40 pins in total.

GPIO pins can accept both input and output commands and can be controlled by
programs in a variety of languages running on the Raspberry Pi.

for example :The input could be readings from a temperature sensor, and the output a
command to another device to switch an LED on or off.

11. HDMI Output :

 34

This port provides both video and audio output.You can connect the Raspberry Pi to a monitor
using HDMI cable .

12. Composite Video output :

Raspberry Pi comes with composite video output with RCA jack that supports both
PAL and NTSC video output. RCA jack can be used to connect old televisions that
have an RCA input only.

13. Audio Output :

Raspberrypi has 3.5mm audio output jack .This audio jacks use for providing audio
output to old Televisions along with RCA jack for video .The audio quality from this
jack is inferior to the HDMI output

Programming with Raspberry Pi

Program for Blinking LED
With the circuit created we need to write the Python script to blink the LED. Before
we start writing the software we first need to install the Raspberry Pi GPIO Python
module. This is a library that allows us to access the GPIO port directly from Python.

Installing GPIO library:

 Open terminal
 Enter the command “sudo apt-get
install python-dev” to install python
development
 35

 Enter the command “sudo apt-get install python-

rpi.gpio” to install GPIO library.

Connection :

1.connect the negative terminal of LED to ground pin of Pi

2.connect the positive terminal of LED to output pin of Pi

Basic python coding:

Open terminal enter the command

sudo nano filename.py
This will open the nano editor where you can write your code
Ctrl+O : Writes the code to the file
 Ctrl+X : Exits the editor

Code
 36

Output : The LED blinks in a loop with delayof 1 and 2

seconds.

Program for interfacing of LED and switch with

Raspberry Pi
In this program LED is connected to GPIO pin 18 and switch is
connected to pin 25. In the infinite Whileloop the value of Pin25 is checked and
the state of LED is toggled if switch is pressed .

Code :
from time import sleep
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
#switch Pin
GPIO.setup(25,GPIO.IN)
#LED Pin
GPIO.setup(18,GPIO.OUT)
state=False
 37

def LED(pin):
state=not state
GPIO.output(pin,state)
while True:
try :
If(GPIO.input(25)==True):
LED(pin)
Sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
exit()

 2.5mA max current use during conversion (while requesting
data)
 Good for 20-80% humidity readings with 5% accuracy
 Good for 0-50°C temperature readings ±2°C accuracy
 No more than 1 Hz sampling rate (once every second)
 Body size 15.5mm x 12mm x 5.5mm
 4 pins with 0.1" spacing

DHT22 / AM2302 (Wired version)

 Low cost
 3 to 5V power and I/O
 2.5mA max current use during conversion (while requesting
data)
 Good for 0-100% humidity readings with 2-5% accuracy
 Good for -40 to 80°C temperature readings ±0.5°C accuracy
 No more than 0.5 Hz sampling rate (once every 2 seconds)
 Body size 15.1mm x 25mm x 7.7mm
 4 pins with 0.1" spacing

GPIO.setup(13,GPIO.OUT)
if temperature > 30:
print ('Temp > 30')
GPIO.output (FAN,0)
print('Fan on')
sleep(5)
print('Fan off ')
GPIO.output(FAN,1)
else:
GPIO.output(FAN,1)
print ('Temp below max value.FAN OFF')

Output : The fan is switched ON whenever the temperature value reaches

above Threshold value set in the code.
