In this tutorial, we will build a laser distance Sensor with a Raspberry Pi Pico and CircuitPython, using a VL53L1X Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor. In this tutorial you will learn to build a distance sensor. It takes the basic steps to connect electronic components and programming the Raspberry Pi Pico in Python. It uses an laser … Continue reading Tutorial: build a laser distance sensor with a Raspberry Pi Pico
Learn more about simulating a physical prototype. Wokwi is a great simulator that you can use to build your electronics projects online, without the need to get components, wire them on a breadboard and then test. If you combine it with Chat GPT to do the coding, you can have your prototype up-and-running in literally … Continue reading Prototyping in a rush? No time for physical prototype? Simulate it!

This tutorial will explain how to deploy a basic, html-based site (consisting of static pages) to Github pages. This tutorial assumes you already have some basic knowledge of how to create webpages and coding in HTML, CSS. If not, do this tutorial first. For this tutorial this template based on the W3.CSS framework from w3schools … Continue reading Deploying a website to Github pages
This tutorial will learn you how to create your first webpage using a basic text editor by writing/editing code. Learn HTML We will not learn you how to code HTML or CSS. Use a tutorial like W3Schools for that: start with the “HTML introduction” and follow the pages until “HTML CSS”. Basic steps These are the basic … Continue reading Getting started with your first website
Through this tutorial you become familiar with developing a Python application with a graphical userinterface. We will create an App which can display weather data from various weather stations. Data will come from an online xml service providing weather data. We are going to create an application that can display the temperature of several weather … Continue reading Learn Python: weather station app with live data
Through this tutorial you become familiar with developing a Python application with a graphical userinterface. We will create an App which draws some basic shapes. The color of one or more of the shapes can be changed by entering a RGB color value (three numbers), for the color components red, green and blue. These numbers … Continue reading Learn Python: drawing shapes in a userinterface
In this tutorial you learn to build a temperature sensor and connect it via Bluetooth with an App. It uses a DHT11 temperature & humidity sensor and Bluetooth communication with your phone. For this we will use a Raspberry Pi Pico W, the Wireless edition of the Pico. It consists of the following steps: This … Continue reading Tutorial: build a connected temperature sensor with a Raspberry Pi Pico W
This short tutorial introduces the VL53L1X Time-of-Flight (ToF ) distance sensor and hook it up to an Arduino Nano. Further directions: If you bought it like this: You will first have to solder the header pins. Connect the sensor Because the sensor uses I2C its wiring is simple: It’s operating voltage is 3.3V or 5V, … Continue reading Using the VL53L1X Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor
In a previous tutorial “build a distance sensor with an alarm” we used an Arduino Nano (coded in a C-variant). Now, we will do the same with a Raspberry Pi Pico and CircuitPython, a version of Python which runs on microcontrollers. If you are more interested in programming the Pico with the Arduino IDE (in … Continue reading Tutorial: build a distance sensor with a Raspberry Pi Pico and CircuitPython
