CMake is the meta build system widely used for C and C++ projects and it generates build scripts for target platform. CMake is platform independent and generates Makefile on the Linux. When the cmake command is launched it parses an instruction file called CMakeLists.txt. The name of the file is case sensitive and should be […]
What is Django: Django is python framework for development of web applications. This is a opensource framework used for web development. Python has other web development frameworks like Flask, but Django is fully featured web framework compared to light weight Flask. We are using Ubuntu-20.4 machine as a development host. Django can be installed on […]
Introduction: In this blog post we will discuss how to interface an external I2C analog to digital converted to Raspberry pi. This procedure is applicable for pi zero, Pi3b etc… Interfacing any sensor which gives analog voltage output with Raspberry Pi requires external ADC (analog to digital converter) as BCM SOC used for RPi doesn’t […]
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 […]
When we were looking for a microcontroller board that can run micropython, we came across pyboard, micro:bit and esp32 etc. Considering the factors like quick sourcing from India, different sensors and community support we bought BBC micro:bit. The hardware specifications of micro:bit can be found at https://tech.microbit.org/hardware/ . This is small pocket sized board designed […]
The use of C/C++ programming language for controlling hardware, development of system software is common practice over the years. Now due to wide acceptance of Python as common language for AI and machine learning domains, the popularity of python has increased tremendously. With increased popularity and user base hardware platforms like Raspberry Pi started giving […]
Python has become de-facto programming language for AI and Machine Learning domains. For kids to teach python with solving these machine learning problems is a difficult task, because these domains are so complex to understand for primary school kids. Kids enjoy programming through Arduino kind of computing platforms where they can interact with physical devices […]
Arduino is a versatile computing platform to work on microcontrollers and embedded systems. It can be used to write programs and run on microcontrollers. These boards comes with on board LED which can be as a hello word Arduino program. To extend the functionality and to interface with external physical world we need do lot […]
An electric circuit is closed path through which current/charge flows. Understanding the concepts of electric circuits and concepts of circuits is very important for kids to work with building robots, interfacing sensors and actuators. Any electric circuit consists of at least one or many of the circuit element explained in this article. To form an […]
Introduction: Computer programming has become one of the essential skills for students to learn in the digital age. Learning programming at early age for kids gives opportunity to learn computer fundamentals by experimenting. Coding also helps in developing logical thinking, analytical skills and problem solving. These days kids can learn coding using different methods like […]
