Dual-band 802.11ac wireless networking
Bluetooth 5.0
Gigabit Ethernet
2 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0
HDMI 2.0a (up to 4K at 60Hz)
MIPI camera interface
40-pin GPIO headerSoftware Support:Raspbian OS (official OS)
Ubuntu, Windows 10 IoT, and other third-party OS supportCode Examples:### Example 1: Blinking LED using Python and GPIOIn this example, we'll use the Raspberry Pi 4's GPIO pins to control an LED.Hardware Requirements:Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit
LED
1 k resistor
Breadboard and jumper wiresPython Code:
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)# Set up LED pin
LED_PIN = 17
GPIO.setup(LED_PIN, GPIO.OUT)try:
while True:
# Blink LED
GPIO.output(LED_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
GPIO.output(LED_PIN, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)except KeyboardInterrupt:
# Clean up GPIO
GPIO.cleanup()
```
Explanation:1. Import the RPi.GPIO module and set up the GPIO mode to BCM (Broadcom numbering).
2. Define the LED pin (GPIO 17 in this example) and set it up as an output.
3. Enter an infinite loop, blinking the LED by setting it high and low with a 1-second delay.### Example 2: Temperature and Humidity Monitoring using Python and DHT11 SensorIn this example, we'll use the Raspberry Pi 4 and a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor to monitor environmental conditions.Hardware Requirements:Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit
DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor
Breadboard and jumper wiresPython Code:
```python
import Adafruit_DHT
import time# Set up DHT11 sensor
DHT_SENSOR = Adafruit_DHT.DHT11
DHT_PIN = 4while True:
# Read temperature and humidity
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(DHT_SENSOR, DHT_PIN)# Print values
print("Temperature: {:.1f} C".format(temperature))
print("Humidity: {:.1f} %".format(humidity))# Wait 10 seconds before next reading
time.sleep(10)
```
Explanation:1. Import the Adafruit_DHT module and set up the DHT11 sensor.
2. Define the DHT11 pin (GPIO 4 in this example).
3. Enter an infinite loop, reading temperature and humidity values using the Adafruit_DHT library, and printing them to the console.
4. Wait 10 seconds before taking the next reading.These examples demonstrate the Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit's capabilities in interacting with the physical world and running real-world applications.
