This tutorial will introduce you to coding MicroPython on a Raspberry Pi Pico. MicroPython is a version of Python that runs on a microcontroller, like the Raspberry Pi Pico. Warning: this tutorial is for MicroPython and will not work for CircuitPython! There is a CircuitPython tutorial here. To get started, you need an editor that … Continue reading Getting started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico
This project combines two examples: We will use a Seeed Studio XIAO which is a small microcontroller, but this can be done with any Arduino or ESP module you have at hand. For code generation, GitHub Copilot is used. Setting up the circuit Connect the SCL & SDA pins of the VL53L1X sensor to those … Continue reading Simulation of anxiety: pulsing rainbow heartbeat pattern on a LED strip that intensifies when something get closer…
This tutorial describes how to build an electronic circuit with an RGB LED (a LED that can change color), and change its color using an App. It also demonstrates two-way communication over Bluetooth LE between an App built with Android Studio. Older versions of this tutorial: If you have and Arduino, that can also work … Continue reading Create an RGB Led controller App
In the past, students choose the Figma Design tool as their website hosting platform. Why would I be against that? What could be a good use of Figma in the process of creating a website? Update June 2025: However, good news: you now may use Figma Sites to build & host a website! If for … Continue reading Is Figma suitable to host a website?
This tutorial extends the tutorial of a temperature sensor with a display, and adds data logging to that. This can be realized by logging to an SD card (part 1), by logging to a website (via Wifi) (part 2) or by logging to the memory of the Raspberry Pi (part 3). Part 1: Data logging … Continue reading Data logging with the Raspberry Pi Pico W

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. Starting with the basic steps to connect electronic components and programming the Raspberry Pi Pico in Python. Next, use a laser … Continue reading Tutorial: build a laser distance sensor with a Raspberry Pi Pico
In this tutorial we will go through the steps of reviving an archived (student) portfolio website from the old portfolio server. Focus is on a site that was made using WordPress. We will install a local webserver using XAMPP, a bundle that contains Apache (the webserver), PHP and a MySQL database. So the webserver can … Continue reading How to restore an archived (student) portfolio website
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!
Latest update: 19-09-2024 The portfolio website service has been terminated per July 1 2024. This impacts these sites: Student sites which were hosted there are associated with the study programmes Industrial Design Engineering, Creative Technology and ATLAS. If you had a website on the portfolio sites, you might want to take steps to transfer it … Continue reading Termination of portfolio website service
