In this lecture, we will understand and learn about the windows based network scanning tool which will help us to find out the IP address of all the devices connected to the WIFI network.

In this lecture, we will see how to use the network scanner tool to find out the IP address of the Raspberry Pi.

In this lecture, we will understand about SSH and then establish the connection with the Raspberry Pi using the Putty application.

This lecture will teach us, how to make the IP Address of the Raspberry Pi static, so that we don't need to use any third-party tool to find the IP Address.

In this lecture, we will understand how to update and upgrade the Raspberry Pi.

Here, we will learn how to test the 12v motor pump before incorporating into the project.

This lecture will teach us the working principle of the relay and thereafter we will come to know, how to connect the same with the Raspberry Pi.

This circuit diagram is additionally provided so that you can build the circuit without the need of pausing the previous video. You can also zoom and easily follow the circuit to design your own.

Here, we will go ahead and understand the source code of the relay testing step by step.

After understanding the complete source code, we will see, how the code works and whether our newly purchased relay works as per our expectation or not.

The source code of the relay testing is additionally provided so that you don't have to type the entire code. You can simply download and use the code as per your requirement.

Here, we will come to know, how the distance sensor works and then understand the circuit diagram to establish the connection between the Pi and the distance sensor to measure the accurate distance.

This circuit diagram is additionally provided so that you can build the circuit without the need of pausing the previous video. You can also zoom and easily follow the circuit to design your own.

In the lecture, we will understand in detail the complete source code. This code will help us to test the distance between the object and the sensor. By doing this, we can decide whether our purchased module actually works or not.

In this lecture, we will execute our distance measurement code and will check whether it measures the accurate distance or not between the object and the sensor.

The source code of the distance measurement sensor is additionally provided so that you don't have to type the entire code. You can simply download and use the code as per your requirement.

In this lecture, we will understand how the LCD module works and what is its application in the industry.

This lecture will teach us in detail about the I2C protocol which was developed by Philips semiconductors in late 1982. We will also go through the process of configuring the I2C using the terminal.   

Here, we will understand the circuit diagram which will help us to connect the LCD module with the Raspberry Pi. You will also notice that, an additional power supply is added because the Raspberry Pi is not able to meet the power requirements.         

This circuit diagram is additionally provided so that you can build the circuit without the need of pausing the previous video. You can also zoom and easily follow the circuit to design your own.

In this lecture, we will understand how to configure the I2C protocol on the Raspberry Pi and activate the same.

In this lecture, we will understand the code to test the LCD module with the Raspberry Pi. Please note that, the main code and the calling function code are explained separately.

In this lecture, we will see the real-time testing of the LCD module.  The text will be displayed on both the rows on the LCD.

The lecture contains two different source codes. One is for the LCD hardware and the second is for the LCD calling function. You can simply download and use the code as per your requirement.

This is the final circuit diagram of the course. Here, we will learn, how we can design a circuit to automate our tank so that we don't need to start or stop the motor pump. Everything will be automated and managed by the system.

This circuit diagram is additionally provided so that you can build the circuit without the need of pausing the previous video. You can also zoom and easily follow the circuit to design your own.

This is the final source code of tank automation. Here we will understand the code snippet line by line. After completing the entire code, we will proceed with the execution of the project.

In this lecture, we will learn how to configure a Python program to run automatically when the system starts. You’ll understand the process for enabling auto program start as soon as the Pi boots.

In this lecture, we will see the final demonstration of the project. We will test the project multiple times to know, whether it works as per our expectations. The real-time demonstration will also give you clarity on designing the circuit on the cardboard.

The lecture contains the source code of the distance measurement sensor.  This is additionally provided so that you don't have to type the entire code. You can simply download and use the code as per your requirement.

In this video lecture, we will understand the summary of the entire course. We will get to know, what we have learned so far in the course.

After powering on the Raspberry Pi, many beginners cannot find its IP address using the network scanner tool. This lecture covers every reason the board may not appear and walks you through a reliable step-by-step method to detect it every time.

PuTTY showing connection refused or dropping mid-session prevents you from working on your project remotely. This lecture identifies every cause and gives you a clear fix for each scenario so you can maintain a stable SSH connection throughout development.

A relay that does not switch means your motor pump will never turn on or off automatically. This lecture walks through every possible cause of relay failure — from wiring mistakes to code errors — so you can verify your relay is working correctly before integrating it into the full project.

Inaccurate distance readings from the HC-SR04 sensor will cause your water level detection to fail. This lecture covers every factor that affects measurement accuracy and shows you how to get stable, reliable readings from your sensor every time.

A blank LCD or garbled text output is almost always caused by one of a small number of fixable issues. This lecture provides a complete checklist that resolves virtually every LCD problem so your display shows accurate live tank status every time.
