import os
import time# Import the required libraries
import pygame
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import Adafruit_DHT# Set up the GPIO pins
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)# Define the pin for the temperature sensor
DHT_PIN = 4# Initialize the temperature sensor
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(Adafruit_DHT.DHT11, DHT_PIN)# Print the temperature reading
print(f"Temperature: {temperature:.2f}C")# Monitor temperature readings every 5 seconds
while True:
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(Adafruit_DHT.DHT11, DHT_PIN)
print(f"Temperature: {temperature:.2f}C")
time.sleep(5)
```### Example 2: Using the Heat Sink with a Raspberry Pi 4B in a Home Automation SystemThis example demonstrates how to use the Raspberry Pi 4B with the heat sink in a home automation system to control lights and fans based on temperature readings.```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up the GPIO pins
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)# Define the pins for the lights and fans
LIGHT_PIN = 17
FAN_PIN = 23# Initialize the lights and fans as outputs
GPIO.setup(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(FAN_PIN, GPIO.OUT)# Define the temperature threshold for turning on the lights and fans
TEMP_THRESHOLD = 30# Monitor temperature readings every 5 seconds
while True:
# Read the temperature using a temperature sensor (e.g., DS18B20)
temperature = read_temperature()# Turn on the lights and fans if the temperature exceeds the threshold
if temperature > TEMP_THRESHOLD:
GPIO.output(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
GPIO.output(FAN_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
else:
GPIO.output(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.LOW)
GPIO.output(FAN_PIN, GPIO.LOW)time.sleep(5)
