How to enable Bluetooth serial profile (SPP) in headless Raspberry Pi Zero W.

Raspberry Pi running without connecting display(monitor), keyboard/mouse (USB) and accessing it through SSH or serial console is called headless configuration. We have blog post https://c2plabs.com/blog/2019/04/23/enable-serial-console-on-raspberry-pi-zero-w/ which explains how to enable serial console( UART console) on Raspberry Pi. When Linux OS booting is complete you can login to shell to give commands. During initial boot configure […]

DC Motor control using TB6612FNG driver and Raspberry PI gpiozero lib.

In this article, we look at using TB6612FNG motor controller, and the gpiozero python library for  controlling DC motor. TB6612FNG motor driver has widely used for applications where better efficiency and performance is required. Below schematic shows the Raspberry PI zero GPIO connections to the motor controller. TB6612 motor controller can driver two motors simultaneously, […]

Wifi configuration on Raspberry Pi zero w

After successfully enabling serial console on “Raspberry Pi zero w” as described in the blog https://c2plabs.com/2019/04/23/enable-serial-console-on-raspberry-pi-zero-w/ In this post, we will focus on configuring wifi network using “raspi-config” and connecting to wifi network. This allows us to do ssh to Raspberry Pi and transfer files using scp from the host computer. Run the rasp-config command […]
