A custom HomeKit accessory with Python
Hi 👋, In this short article I want to showcase how I implemented a custom HomeKit accessory with python. My Home Assistant’s SD card died 🪦 a few days ago and the support for GPIO based sensors will be removed in newer releases. This makes it unsuitable for my needs, while giving me the perfect opportunity to try other things.
BME680 Home Assistant Integration
Hi 👋, In this short article I will highlight how to use the BME680 Home Assistant integration with a BME680 Sensor.
Home automation with Home Assistant on Raspberry PI – Getting Started
Hi 👋 The purpose of this article is to get you started quickly with a Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi. It’s a simple walkthrough on how to install Home Assistant and configure it so it will boot with your PI.
PMS5003 C# Library
Hello everyone, I just want to let you know that I’ve released a C# library for interfacing with the PMS5003 (Particulate Matter Sensor) via UART.
PMS5003 Particulate Matter Sensor Test Run
Hi In this article we’ll test out the PMS5003 sensor in order to see if it works. I’ve forgot to buy a connector board, so we will do a manual connection to the Raspberry Pi 3 B V2. This involves cutting the wires and adding some resistors.
Nucu Car Devlog: 0x03 – Android
Hello everyone! I’ve been working lately on my little project involving Raspberry Pi and .NET, during my free time. Now, I’ve introduced a new technology, Android!
Nucu Car: Devlog 0x02
Hello, I’m still working on my NucuCar project from time to time, I’m currently at my parents home and I left the raspberry pi at my apartment so I’m only testing the builds it on my computer. Luckily I can test the telemetry by using the CPU temperature sensor implemented by dotnet IoT.
Firebase Rest on Raspberry Pi
I’ve tried to use Google’s Firebase with the Firebase Admin SDK in my C# project. The good news is that the Admin SDK is easy to use and all you need to do is call two methods. The authentication part is handled by an environment variable which points to some .json file which you download. The bad news is that the SDK depends on gRPC and the dotnet version of it doesn’t work well on the Raspberry Pi.
Nucu Car: Devlog 0x01
Hello everyone, A while ago I started working on a pet project called NucuCar. It’s a platform written in .NET for the Raspberry Pi in which I’m trying to implement various utility functions to create a complete piece of software that can be used to build a remote controlled car for the Pi.
My experience with .NET IoT (so far)
I haven’t done any embedded development in a while and I was thinking to build myself a remote controlled toy car with video streaming.
