Arduino & Raspberry Pi for Gesture controlled Projects

Explore development boards like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, compact printed circuit boards with a microprocessor and minimal support logic, used for gesture-controlled projects and software programming via USB.

Understand Raspberry Pi power needs by model, including micro USB supply and currents. Prevent SD card corruption and erratic behavior by avoiding underpowering and using powered USB hubs when required.

Explore the C language as a procedural programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 for system programming, offering low-level memory access and a simple keyword set, influencing many languages.

Explore how functions organize C programs by grouping statements. Learn function declaration, call, and definition, and the difference between library and user-defined functions, plus return types and reuse.

Learn how to install and open Anaconda, which bundles Python IDEs such as Jupiter, and use the Python console for most programming, then launch the text editor page.

Learn how a flex sensor, a bend sensor, measures deflection via resistance changes and serves as a flexible potentiometer, using a voltage divider to interface with Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Explore gesture-based inputs and outputs using sensors like a flex sensor or camera, accelerometer and gyroscope, ultrasonic and infrared sensors, Bluetooth, and display gestures on an LCD.

Explore the pir sensor, a passive infrared motion detector that senses infrared from humans or animals; interface with Arduino or Raspberry Pi via vcc, gnd, and output.

Explore gesture controlled projects using gesture recognition with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, learn the key components and their functions, and discover three ideas to design your own creative projects.
