Project 3
The Arduino Raspberry
Pi Interface
In this project, we will look into interfacing the Raspberry Pi to the Arduino microcontroller
that is widely used to prototype diferent projects. We will discuss installaion of the Arduino
development environment and discuss an example of its usage.
Raspberry Pi and Arduino have become popular plaforms among hobbyists, and it is being
widely used by people from different backgrounds, including school and university students,
arists, and engineers. This project explains how the Raspberry Pi can be used in combinaion
with Arduino.
The Raspberry Pi comes with a GPIO pin set that is quite capable of
interfacing and control devices. We would like to discuss the Arduino
Raspberry Pi interface because you may have projects that were
originally built using an Arduino, especially in scenarios where a remote
irmware update needs to be performed on the Arduino plaform using
the Raspberry Pi. This project presents the opions of enhancing the
capabiliies of the Arduino microcontroller using a Raspberry Pi.
Mission briefing
In the first part of the project, we will discuss programming the Arduino for the first
ime, and in the second half, we will look into the control of a
Weasley weather clock
.
We will also look into the
Raspberry Pi AlaMode
, stackable add-on arduino hardware
