Familiarize your RPi Computer
 Programming Language
Basic
C
C++
Java
Python
Python Programming Environment
Familiarize it
 Python
A simple & powerful Language
 Programming with Python: Steps
open python
write the code
save the code with a name with an
extension .py
hello.py
run the code
 Our first program
Write a program to Display
Hello! Whatsup??
 Displaying a Character or
sentence
print
eg: print Hello! Whatsup??
 Storing a Number, Character or
Sentence in the memory
(variable)
a=10
b=5
q=a
p=hello
print a
print b
print q
print p

print a,b,q,p
 Mathematic Calculations

+ - * / %
 Program to find the sum, difference
product and division of two numbers

a=18
b=6
c=a+b
d=a-b
e=a*b
d=a/b

print c
print d
print e
print d
 Getting input from you / any other
user
int(raw_input())

eg: b=int(raw_input(enter the input))

 Find the sum of two numbers
given by you / or the user

a=int(raw_input(enter the first number))

b= int(raw_input(enter the second number))
c=a+b
print c
 Find the product of two numbers
given by you / or the user

a=int(raw_input(enter the first number))

b= int(raw_input(enter the second number))
c=a*b
print c
 Print first 5 natural numbers

a=1
b=2
c=3
d=4
e=5
print a,b,c,d,e
 Another method
a=1

print a

a=a+1

print a

a=a+1

print a

a=a+1

print a

a=a+1

print a
 Easy method (using Loop)
a=1

print a

Four times
a=a+1
 Using For loop
for a in range(1,6,1):
print a
 Print the first natural numbers up
to a limit given by the user
n=int(raw_input(enter the limiting number))
for a in range(1,n,1):
print a
Find the sum of first n natural
numbers, where n is the limiting
number given by the user
 Using While loop
a=1
while(a<6):
print a
a=a+1
 Print the first integers up to a limit
given by the user
n=int(raw_input(enter the limiting number))
a=1
while (a<n):
print a
a=a+1
Find the sum of first n integers,
where n is the limiting number
given by the user
 To find the largest of two numbers
a=5
b=10
if a>b:
print the largest number is:
print a
else:
print the largest number is:
print b
Find the largest of two numbers
given by the user
Find the smallest of two numbers
given by the user
Find the largest of first n numbers,
where n is the limit entered by the
user
n=int(raw_input(enter the limiting number))
a=1
b=1
while (a<n):
if a>b:
b=a
a=a+1
print the largest number is
print b
 Interesting Applications of
Raspberry Pi
It can turn on an LED as per your
program
It can turn off and led as per your
program
It can blink an led
It can turn on/off an led when u press a
switch
 How is it possible
Through the input / output pins on the
raspberry pi
RPi 2 Model B+ GPIO Header
LED
Turning on led with a battery
Connect the LED to the raspberry
pi
Can you turn it off without
disconnecting the wire???
 Input output LIBRARY
First line of your program
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
 Functions
Second line of code
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

To connect led to the pin

GPIO.setup(pin no, GPIO.OUT)

To Turn off the LED

GPIO.output(pin no, GPIO.LOW)

To Turn on the LED

GPIO.output(pin no, GPIO.HIGH)
 Your program
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

GPIO.setup(11, GPIO.OUT)

GPIO.output(11, GPIO.HIGH)
 Blinking an LED
Means
Turn on the led
wait for some time
turn off the led
Wait for some time
 To wait for some time
You need another library
import time

Wait for one second time

time.sleep(1)

Wait for one second time

time.sleep(2)

Wait for one Half second

time.sleep(0.5)
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
Import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(11, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(11, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
GPIO.output(11, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)
Blink the LED for ten times
 You need a loop
You can use for loop or while loop
 Program (using while loop)
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(11, GPIO.OUT)
i=0
while (i<10):
GPIO.output(11, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
GPIO.output(11, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)
i=i+1
 Using for loop
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(11, GPIO.OUT)
for i in range(0,10,1):
GPIO.output(11, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
GPIO.output(11, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)
Blink the LED for infinite times
You need an infinite loop
while(1)
