Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi | Wiring Update: 14th May, 2013 wiringPi version 2 has been released and now has its own website ( to look after it. Most of the documentation on the projects site has been copied over to it the new site, but there may still be 1 or 2 pages that are still missing. I’d encourage you to use the new site if possible where there will be a forum and wiki (when I get time to implement them!) WiringPi is an Arduino wiring-like library written in C and released under the GNU LGPLv3 license which is usable from C and C++ and many other languages with suitable wrappers (See below) You may be familiar with the Arduino… Briefly; Arduino is really two things; one is a hardware platform, the other software, and part of the software is a package called Wiring. The Raspberry Pi has a 26-pin General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) connector and this carries a set of signals and buses. WiringPi includes a command-line utility gpio which can be used to program and setup the GPIO pins. Pin numbering

RPi Low-level peripherals Back to the Hub. Hardware & Peripherals: Hardware and Hardware History. Low-level Peripherals and Expansion Boards. Screens, Cases and Other Peripherals. Introduction In addition to the familiar USB, Ethernet and HDMI ports, the Raspberry Pi offers the ability to connect directly to a variety of electronic devices. Digital outputs: turn lights, motors, or other devices on or off Digital inputs: read an on or off state from a button, switch, or other sensor Communication with chips or modules using low-level protocols: SPI, I²C, or serial UART Connections are made using GPIO ("General Purpose Input/Output") pins. Note that no analogue input or output is available. Links For further specific information about the Raspberry Pi's BCM2835 GPIOs, see: RPi BCM2835 GPIOs. Model A and B (Original) The Raspberry Pi Model A and B boards have a 26-pin 2.54 mm (100 mil)[1] expansion header, marked as P1, arranged in a 2x13 strip. Revision 1 PCBs also do not have the P5 header (see below). Useful P2 pins:

Simulating a physical phenomena which obeys to known mathematical equations is, with a number of approximations, always feasable. 1 – Simple sound energy a - A first analysis The human listening system determines the rhythm of music by detecting a pseudo – periodical succession of beats. Simple sound energy algorithm #1: Every 1024 samples:

Wiimote This article will go through the basic steps required to have a working Wiimote in Linux for general use. It will not go into much detail for some steps as there are many guides already written for some parts already. Note: The approach shown on this page is based on software which is no longer developed upstream. Prerequisites Bluetooth cwiid Wiimote The most important piece required is Bluetooth, this must already be configured and running without the help of this guide. Connect the Wiimote First you need to make sure to load the uinput module: $ sudo modprobe uinput You should have a device in /dev/uinput now. Thanks to cwiid you can scan for your Wiimote now: (press the 1 and 2 buttons on your Wiimote) $ hcitool scan Scanning ... Once your Wiimote has been detected you can test if it is working by running the command wmgui and testing out various buttons and sensors through that interface. Input Device The Wiimote can act as a regular input device like a mouse using wminput. $ wminput -w
