Raspberry Pi Cookbook: Python Programming And Hardware Access

With millions of new users and several new models, the Raspberry Pi ecosystem continues to expand, along with a myriad of new questions about the Raspberry Pi’s capabilities.

The second edition of this popular cookbook by Simon Monk provides more than 240 hands-on projects for running this tiny low-cost computer with Linux and programming it with Python. The hardware access aspects include hooking up sensors, motors, and other hardware, including Arduino and the Internet of Things.

Author Simon Monk also teaches basic principles to help you use new technologies with Raspberry Pi as its ecosystem continues to develop. This cookbook is ideal for programmers and hobbyists familiar with the Pi through resources, including Getting Started with Raspberry Pi (O’Reilly). Python and other code examples from the book are available on GitHub.

• Set up your Raspberry Pi and connect to a network
• Work with its Linux-based operating system
• Program Raspberry Pi with Python
• Give your Pi "eyes" with computer vision
• Control hardware through the GPIO connector
• Use Raspberry Pi to run different types of motors
• Work with switches, keypads, and other digital inputs
• Use sensors to measure temperature, light, and distance
• Connect to IoT devices in various ways

PiCAN2 - Single CAN Bus for Raspberry Pi 2/3

The PiCAN2, a CAN (Controller Area Network) Bus Interface for the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3, is the most successful product in our web store.

It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with MCP2551 CAN transceiver. Connection are made via DB9 (for direct ODB-II connection) or 3-way screw terminal.

There is an easy-to-install SocketCAN driver, and programming can be accomplished in C or Python to suit your CAN Bus, SAE J1939, or OBD-II application. There are plenty of documentation and programming samples available for download.
