Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic Raspberry Pi Setup with Armour Case
In this example, we'll demonstrate how to set up a basic Raspberry Pi system with the Armour Case. We'll configure the Pi to connect to a Wi-Fi network and print a message to the console.
Hardware Requirements
Raspberry Pi 3B+
Armour Case
MicroSD card (with Raspbian OS installed)
Wi-Fi network
Software Requirements
Raspbian OS (latest version)
Code
```python
# Connect to Wi-Fi network
import network
wifi = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wifi.active(True)
wifi.connect('your_wifi_ssid', 'your_wifi_password')
# Print a message to the console
print("Hello, World! From Raspberry Pi 3B+ in Armour Case!")
```
Example 2: IoT Sensor Project with Armour Case
In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the Armour Case with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ to build an IoT sensor project. We'll connect a Temperature and Humidity sensor (DHT11) to the Pi and send sensor data to a cloud-based IoT platform using MQTT protocol.
Hardware Requirements
Raspberry Pi 3B+
Armour Case
MicroSD card (with Raspbian OS installed)
DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor
Breadboard and jumper wires
Wi-Fi network
MQTT broker (e.g., Mosquitto)
Software Requirements
Raspbian OS (latest version)
Python 3.x
Paho MQTT library
Code
```python
import time
import dht
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
# Set up MQTT client
client = mqtt.Client()
client.connect('mqtt_broker_address', 1883)
# Set up DHT11 sensor
dht_sensor = dht.DHT11(pin=17)
while True:
# Read sensor data
humidity, temperature = dht_sensor.read()
# Send data to MQTT broker
client.publish('home/sensor-data', f'Temperature: {temperature:.2f}C, Humidity: {humidity:.2f}%')
# Wait for 10 seconds
time.sleep(10)
```
These code examples demonstrate the versatility of the Raspberry Pi Model 3B+ Armour Case in various IoT applications. The case provides a rugged and compact enclosure for the Pi, allowing it to operate in harsh environments while protecting it from damage.
