Build a first Dashboard based on the video tutorial below. Here, we re-create a Dashboard from a video tutorial which visualizes data from the Gapminder dataset available on Github: But before you start coding, lets create a virtual environment first. You might wonder why creating a separate environment for coding projects is a good thing? … Continue reading Getting started with Dashboards in Python
We are going to create an application that can display the temperature of several weather stations in the Netherlands, as well as the average temperature of those weather stations. This tutorial can also be done in Python. You are given a WeatherStation class for reading the data. This class can read data from an online XML file. … Continue reading Java tutorial: weather station app with live data
This tutorial can also be done in Python: the tutorial for that you can find here. This tutorial is part of a series. Make sure to start with the first, eg. if you have not setup Eclipse and your Java environment yet. We are going to create an application that can draw a simple shape. This … Continue reading Java tutorial: create an application that can draw a simple shape
Example of use of the MAX30100 heartrate sensor with an Arduino. This example uses the Arduino-MAX30100 library. The MAX3010x series are integrated pulse oximetry and heart-rate monitor biosensor modules. Check out its datasheet here. If you have the MAX30102 or MAX30105 sensor, consider using a more recent library like the official Sparkfun library (see below). There … Continue reading Setup a heartrate sensor (MAX30100) with an Arduino
Example of use of the MAX30102 heartrate sensor with MicroPython on a Raspberry Pi Pico. This example is based on this Maxim MAX30102 driver. The MAX30102 is an integrated pulse oximetry and heart-rate monitor biosensor module. Check out its datasheet here. The driver used is written for the MAX30102 and might work for the MAX30105 also. … Continue reading Setup a heartrate sensor with a Raspberry Pi Pico
This tutorial will introduce you to coding in Python, setup your editor and get started with some basic examples. First, you need an editor that helps you to write code in Python. Two options for editors addressed here are: Thonny is an editor specifically for Python programming, and focusses on beginners. Visual Studio Code is … Continue reading Getting started with coding Python and setup your editor
This is a quick tutorial to get started with AI assisted coding in Visual Studio Code. This tutorial assumes you already have a basic understanding of the working of Visual Studio Code. Since new releases of Visual Studio Code come with the GitHub Copilot extension pre-installed, when you launch Visual Studio Code for the first … Continue reading Getting started with AI assisted coding in Visual Studio Code
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. To get started, you need an editor that helps you to write code in Python and can connect to the Raspberry Pi Pico. Two options for … Continue reading Getting started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico
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
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, to the memory of the Raspberry Pi, or by logging to a website (via Wifi). The first part is logging to an SD card. Part 1: Data … Continue reading Data logging with the Raspberry Pi Pico W
