Lab 3: Python

Lab 3: Python Operations

Lab A:

The team was able to download the python packages and run them. Screenshots of the results are pasted on the page. Various examples of times and data were represented on the terminal of the Pi. These tools are good examples for keeping track of time and can be utilized for self information or for an important project.

Lab B:

Using the fritzing software, the team modeled a raspberry pi with a breadboard that created a circuit. The circuit utilized an led, capacitor, switch, photo diode and 2 other resistors. The next part of the lab required the team to modify an run a python script to send an email. The first hello email was sent by running the script while the second was sent from pressing a button which activated the script through a gpio pin.

Lab C:

The team tried to control the raspberry pi with a laptop at first but had no luck. Then, the team used Professor Lu's raspberry pi to communicate with. This was done by allowing the Professor's Pi IP to activate a gpio pin and turn an led on.

Lab D:

The temperature module was hooked up to the GPIO pins on raspberry pi and then the temperature script was ran and successful data displayed on the command prompt.

Lab E:

Successfully tested different run times through different versions of python. The speed comparisons were a good indicator on testing programs in our future projects.

Lab F:

Installation and usage of Doxygen the documentation generator complete. This tool is important for the team to document any code that is written for massive projects or to keep track of progress in a professional manner.
