PIR Sensor is a passive infrared sensor which senses IR (Infrared) emitted by humans (all objects emit a certain amount of IR). A hotter object emits more IR than a colder one.The PIR Sensor is also called as Pyroelectric IR Sensor, Passive Infrared Sensor or IR Motion Sensor. The applications of PIR are Burglar Alarm, Motion detected Floor Lamps,...

As a beginner, we will be using many Raspberry Pi Commands to perform some installations or updating some software. If we know what these commands will do in our program then we will go ahead and fix things on our own.In this blog, we will see what are the most commonly used commands in Raspberry Pi and its operations.Drop...
Cloning an SD Card is very useful while you are creating different Raspberry Pi projects. You might also be faced situations like the files in SD Cards are corrupted and you want to revert it back to work. In these cases, the Cloning of your existing Raspberry Pi project in the card is very useful and saves you a...
Alexa, what’s the weather now?Currently, in Bengaluru, It’s 23oC with intermittent Clouds.Did you impressed with Alexa replies ever? Let’s build our Own Amazon Echo with Raspberry Pi that can respond to your Voice commands just like an Amazon Echo device. It will provide almost all services that an Echo does like Weather forecast, Calculations, Home automation, IFTTT and Many...
Android Apps makes our task easier. It makes the IoT more simple and everybody can have access to it Anytime and Anywhere. It is used in most of Home Automation apps nowadays.We can access Raspberry Pi using different methods. But how can we use our Mobile phone to access the Raspberry Pi wirelessly? In this tutorial, we will see...
The headless setup using WiFi makes easier to access your Pi than Ethernet setup. It needs an SD card and power supply only. It provides access to your laptop Keyboard, Mouse and Screen to your Raspberry Pi without the need for an external setup.If you want to access the Pi using Ethernet check this tutorial.Components Required:Hardware:Raspberry Pi 3/Pi...
Unlike Arduino, the Raspberry Pi won’t run the code until it is executed manually. We need a scheduler to run the python code when the Pi is powered up or rebooted. Crontab (cron table) is scheduler used in Linux to schedule a specific task at a specific time. It is mostly used by Linux system Administrators to automate his...
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ AnnouncedOn this Pi day, The Raspberry Pi organization released its new board called 'Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+' enhanced with new 1.4 GHz Cortex A53 Processor and a Dual-band WiFi compliance. The Pi organization also announced that it is working on Power Over Ethernet which makes Powering the Pi over Ethernet line. The new...
Setting up a headless setup for Pi Zero W is simple. The limitation of Pi Zero and Zero W is that it doesn't have an Ethernet port. All we have is a single USB port. We need to use it as an Ethernet via USB technique to access the Pi. There are many tutorials available for this. But if...
