How to Control LEDs with Raspberry Pi

Today, we’ll be looking at how we can use the Raspberry Pi to turn light emitting diodes (LEDs) on and off. This is one of the most basic things you can do with a Raspberry Pi but it’s a great starting point for learning about physical computing. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a Raspberry Pi that … Read More

Detecting Light Levels With the mySTEM for NI myDAQ

A couple of weeks ago, I did a basic breadboard LED project using a mySTEM connected to a myDAQ. We created a simple circuit. This week, we will create a light detector using the mySTEM Project Board for the NI myDAQ and a couple of sensors/circuits. You’ll have a laser emitter that you’ll use to hit a photoresistor, which will … Read More

How to Create a Simple Circuit with mySTEM ™ Project Board

If you are interested in controls education or electrical engineering, you’ll find the mySTEM™ Project Board is a useful attachment for your NI myDAQ. I won’t go into the technical specifications of the hardware, but if you’re curious, you can find that information on the mySTEM product page. Use the project board to plug into your National Instruments myDAQ to wire circuits, … Read More
