Setup Here is our layout First get the haarcascade data from here. RequirementsOpenCvNumpyPillow Lets start with creating our data. We will create a program to take pictures of faces, then store them in faceDataSet. I will name my file faceDataCreator.py. The index is used to only take 20 pictures of Read more…
Setup To briefly layout or steps here is what we will do• Create our main file• Grab our COVID-19 data• Create our html elements• Pass in our COVID-19 data• Display the output Our COVID-19 Data will come from here We will first create a template of our application to make Read more…
Four Segment LED The four Segment LED includes four seven segment LED’s to display 4 values at a time, Since there is only 12 pins needed to display 4 different values, the LED uses a method called Multiplexing, where one digit is shown at a time, but switched fast, so Read more…
Basics Infrared is a form of light radiation, except it lies outside the visible light spectrum for humans. Since IR is undetectable to the human eye, it makes it a good candidate for wireless communication. Many products such as remote controls utilize infrared technology. In infrared communication, a infrared receiver converts Read more…
A 7 Segment LED includes 7 pieces to display numbers and letters, in this project we will be controlling one with a Infrared sensor, to display numbers and even do math. We need to connect our IR receiver again. Review the instructions here Once you have your IR receiver connected, Read more…
After completing the first LED project, we can now use an Infrared Sensor to control our lights. We need to connect our Infrared receiver to our breadboard, each Infrared receiver has 3 pins, one for signal, one for ground, and one for VCC(power), the Arduino board has multiple ground pins, Read more…
A palindrome is a word, phrase or number that are the same backwards or forwards. Examples of palindromes in numbers is 1221, 4224, etc To start of this program you will need to make a function that splits the numbers. This can be done making a function using def ———–(-): Read more…
This is a tutorial on making an 8 Ball using Python To start off this program, you will need to import the “random” library, do this by doing,import random Next, you will need to have a variable that will have a random number value from 1-20(because there is 20 8 Read more…
An LED stands for “light emitting diode” It gives off light and uses little power. It has two states, on and off, the state it is in can be controlled by “digitalWrite” To start programming your LED you will need to make a variable for the pin number you are Read more…
Retropie allows you to turn your Raspberry Pi into a retro-game console. It uses EmulationStation to emulate the games/consoles. What you will need to install this software is a SD card, Win32 diskimager, a controller(for setting up EmulationStation), and a Raspberry pi. First download the RetroPie software for your Raspberry Read more…
