Also, it's much easier to take it with you while you travel. If you're like me and use it as a hub that you connect to from various devices, then it's just much easier to find a place for it at home where it will not ruin the aesthetics. If you put it in a case it's more like a PowerBank. You can certainly do that, but I think the Pi is much more practical. Why not just buy and old laptop running Linux and use that instead? You can use any module and schedule scripts to run fully automatically, whenever you like. This is not possible due to iOS's locked down architecture. One example is Selenium, which can create virtual browser instances in the background, visit websites and take actions on them. Second, you can't take advantage of some of the more advanced modules. You can trigger them by time or location, but you will have to unlock your phone and hit OK on each trigger. While it's possible to play around and fire off simple Python scripts on iOS it has it's limitations.įirst, you can't truly automate running them. I followed up with a post that detailed how to run and schedule Python scripts on iOS, and now I'd like to share how you can do the same with a Raspberry Pi. To run the code, click on the Green play / arrow button and the Python Shell will update to say TOGGLE every second, and the LED will flash on and off.Previously I wrote about how and why I built a simple web-scrapig script to notify us about our favourite food.
Name the file blink.py and click Ok to save. Click on Save and choose to save the code to the MicroPython device (Raspberry Pi Pico). Lastly, we add a sleep to pause the code for one second between each iteration of the loop. Inside of a while True loop, a loop with no end, we toggle the LED on and off, and print a message to the Python Shell (REPL) to prove that the loop is working. We then use the object to instruct the GPIO pin to pull low.n other words this will ensure that the GPIO pin is turned off at the start of our project. In this case, it will set GPIO 28 (which maps to physical pin 34 on the board) as an output pin, where current will flow from the Raspberry Pi Pico GPIO to the LED. Create an object, “led” which is used to create a link between the physical GPIO pin and our code. The first is the Pin class from the Machine library, the second is utime, used to control the pace of our code. Our code is written in the large blank space above the REPL and we start by importing two MicroPython libraries.
