This is otherwise known as remote configuration. Whether it’s a home, an office, or an industrial site, connected devices rely on some form of automation through sensors or machines and […]

In this tutorial, we’ll demonstrate how to use Raspberry Pi’s multimedia capabilities to host a text-to-speech audio broadcast service. If you want to use Raspberry Pi as a public address system or even an accompanying audio announcement device with digital signage, then read on and check out the demo project.

Man’s desire to be a part of the social ecosystem has led to the invention of many communication and information sharing tools. This trend is now morphing to include use cases where we interact with non-living things, as well. Let’s look at one such application where we can communicate with our things through chat, just […]

In this blog post, we cover the I2C interface of Raspberry Pi. Similar to the SPI, I2C also offers the flexibility of interfacing multiple slave devices and has some added advantages. Read on to know more about how to program I2C in Raspberry Pi.
