  1. Ben Nuttall • Raspberry Pi Community Manager • Based in

    Cambridge, UK • Columnist on opensource.com • @ben_nuttall on Twitter
  2. Raspberry Pi Foundation • Educational charity founded in 2009 •

    Incorporates: – Raspberry Pi Trading Ltd – Code Club – CoderDojo – Raspberry Pi Foundation North America • Trading profits fund education programmes raspberrypi.org/about
  3. Our mission “Putting the power of digital making into the

    hands of people all over the world” So that people are: • Capable of understanding and shaping an increasingly digital world • Able to solve the problems that matter to them, both as makers and entrepreneurs • Equipped for the jobs of the future raspberrypi.org/about
  4. We do this by providing... • Low-cost, high-performance computers •

    Outreach and education programmes • Free resources and teacher training p
  5. Current models • Raspberry Pi 3 • 64-bit quad-core ARMv8

    @ 1.2GHz • 1GB RAM • $35 • Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero W • 32-bit single-core ARMv6 @ 1GHz • 512MB RAM • $5 / $10 raspberrypi.org/products
  6. Physical computing • Flashy lights • Motors & robots •

    Photo & video • Sensors • Internet of Things • Home automation
  7. GPIO • 3V3, 5V • GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART •

    GPIO = variable 3V3 pinout.xyz
  8. Python - GPIO Zero from gpiozero import LED from time

    import sleep led = LED(17) while True: led.on() sleep(1) led.off() sleep(1)
  9. Multi-paradigm: procedural from gpiozero import LED, Button led = LED(17)

    button = Button(4) while True: if button.is_pressed: led.on() else: led.off()
  10. Multi-paradigm: event-driven from gpiozero import LED, Button led = LED(17)

    button = Button(4) button.when_pressed = led.on button.when_released = led.off
  11. .value >>> led = PWMLED(17) >>> pot = MCP3008() >>>

    led.value = pot.value >>> while True: ... led.value = pot.value
  12. Source / Values from gpiozero import LED, Button led =

    LED(17) button = Button(2) led.source = button.values
  13. Source tools from gpiozero import Button, LED from gpiozero.tools import

    negated led = LED(4) button = Button(17) led.source = negated(button.values)
  14. Combining values Output Device .value .values .source Input Device .value

    .values Source tool Input Device .value .values
  15. AND logic gate from gpiozero import Button, LED from gpiozero.tools

    import all_values button_a = Button(2) button_b = Button(3) led = LED(17) led.source = all_values(button_a.values, button_b.values)
  16. Energenie tortoise lamp from gpiozero import Energenie, TimeOfDay from datetime

    import time lamp = Energenie(1) daytime = TimeOfDay(time(8), time(20)) lamp.source = daytime.values
  17. Supporting multiple pin libraries • RPi.GPIO • Implemented in C,

    current default • Available in PyPI & apt repository (installed by default in Raspbian) • RPIO • Implemented in C, supports hardware PWM, supports Pi 1 only (dead project) • Available in PyPI • pigpio • Python wrapper for C library, supports lots of protocols, runs as daemon, supports remote connections • Available in PyPI & apt repository (installed by default in Raspbian) • Native • Pure Python, limited functionality, experimental • Included in gpiozero source • MockPin & MockPWMPin • Pure Python, used in test suite • Included in gpiozero source
  18. pigpio - remote GPIO from Pi or PC from gpiozero

    import LED from gpiozero.pins.pigpio import PiGPIOFactory from signal import pause factory = PiGPIOFactory('192.168.0.2') led = LED(22, pin_factory=factory) led.blink() pause()
  19. pigpio - remote GPIO from Pi or PC $ export

    GPIOZERO_PIN_FACTORY=pigpio $ export PIGPIO_ADDR=192.168.0.2 $ python3 led.py from gpiozero import LED from signal import pause led = LED(22) led.blink() pause()
  20. MockPin $ GPIOZERO_PIN_FACTORY=mock python3 >>> from gpiozero import LED >>>

    led = LED(22) >>> led.blink() >>> led.value True >>> led.value False
  21. MockPin >>> from gpiozero import LED >>> led = LED(22)

    >>> button = Button(23) >>> led.source = button.values >>> led.value False >>> button.pin.drive_low() >>> led.value True
  22. Sense HAT • Special made for Tim Peake's Astro Pi

    mission • Sensors, LED display & joystick • Great for science, games and creativity • Works on any Pi model • Emulators also available raspberrypi.org/products/sense-hat
  23. Sense HAT >>> from sense_hat import SenseHat >>> sense =

    SenseHat() >>> sense.show_message(“Hello world”)
  24. Sense HAT >>> sense.temperature 25.0 >>> sense.humidity 45.0 >>> sense.accelerometer

    {'pitch': 0.0, 'roll': 0.0, 'yaw': 0.0} >>> sense.gyroscope {'pitch': 0.0, 'roll': 0.0, 'yaw': 0.0} >>> sense.orientation {'pitch': 0.0, 'roll': 0.0, 'yaw': 0.0}
