Raspberry Pi Led Blueprints [Paperback]

Design, build, and test LED-based projects using the Raspberry Pi

About This Book

• Implement real LED-based projects for Raspberry Pi
• Learn to interface various LED modules such as LEDs, 7-segment, 4-digits 7 segment, and dot matrix to Raspberry Pi
• Get hands-on experience by exploring real-time LEDs with this project-based book

Who This Book Is For

This book is for those who want to learn how to build Raspberry Pi projects utilising LEDs, 7 segment, 4-digits 7 segment, and dot matrix modules. You also will learn to implement those modules in real applications, including interfacing with wireless modules and the Android mobile app. However, you don't need to have any previous experience with the Raspberry Pi or Android platforms.

What You Will Learn

• Control LEDs, 7 segments, and 4-digits 7 segment from a Raspberry Pi
• Expand Raspberry Pi's GPIO
• Build a countdown timer
• Build a digital clock display
• Display numbers and characters on dot matrix displays
• Build a traffic light controller
• Build a remote home light control with a Bluetooth low energy module and Android
• Build mobile Internet-controlled lamps with a wireless module and Android

In Detail

Blinking LED is a popular application when getting started in embedded development. By customizing and utilising LED-based modules into the Raspberry Pi board, exciting projects can be obtained. A countdown timer, a digital clock, a traffic light controller, and a remote light controller are a list of LED-based inspired project samples for Raspberry Pi.

An LED is a simple actuator device that displays lighting and can be controlled easily from a Raspberry Pi. This book will provide you with the ability to control LEDs from Raspberry Pi, starting from describing an idea through designing and implementing several projects based on LEDs, such as, 7-segments, 4-digits 7ló@
