Code Examples
Here are two code examples demonstrating how to use the Raspberry Pi 3 Official Case in different contexts:
Example 1: Python Script for LED Blinking
This example uses the Raspberry Pi 3 Official Case to create a simple LED blinking project. Connect an LED to GPIO pin 17 and ground.
```
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Set up GPIO pin 17 as an output
GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.OUT)
try:
while True:
# Turn the LED on
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
# Turn the LED off
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
# Clean up GPIO
GPIO.cleanup()
```
Example 2: Python Script for Temperature Monitoring
This example uses the Raspberry Pi 3 Official Case to create a temperature monitoring project. Connect a DS18B20 temperature sensor to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins.
```
import os
import subprocess
# Set up the temperature sensor
os.system('modprobe w1-gpio')
os.system('modprobe w1-therm')
# Define the temperature sensor file
temp_sensor_file = '/sys/bus/w1/devices/28-000007123456/temperature'
try:
while True:
# Read the temperature from the sensor
with open(temp_sensor_file, 'r') as f:
temperature = float(f.read()) / 1000.0
print('Temperature: {:.2f}C'.format(temperature))
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print('Exiting temperature monitoring...')
```
