Python Programming with Raspberry Pi - Complete Guide

1. Python Basics

Python is a simple, high-level programming language.

1.1 Variables and Data Types:

x=5 # Integer

name = "Raspberry" # String

temp = 23.5 # Float

status = True # Boolean

1.2 Conditional Statements:

if temp > 30:

print("Hot")

1.3 Loops:

for i in range(5):

print(i)

1.4 Functions:

def greet(name):

print("Hello", name)

greet("Pi")

1.5 Lists:

fruits = ["apple", "banana"]


Python Programming with Raspberry Pi - Complete Guide
for fruit in fruits:

print(fruit)

1.6 File Handling:

with open("data.txt", "w") as file:

file.write("Hello Pi")

2. Getting Started with Raspberry Pi

- Download Raspberry Pi OS using Raspberry Pi Imager

- Burn it to SD card (16GB+)

- Boot Pi with monitor, or enable SSH/VNC for headless setup

- Use Thonny IDE for Python programming

- Access terminal via Ctrl+Alt+T or remotely via SSH

Update Pi:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Open Thonny (Python IDE) from Menu > Programming > Thonny

3. Interfacing Output Devices (LED, Buzzer)

Use RPi.GPIO to control GPIO pins.

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

import time
Python Programming with Raspberry Pi - Complete Guide
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

GPIO.setwarnings(False)

GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT) # LED

GPIO.output(18, GPIO.HIGH)

time.sleep(1)

GPIO.output(18, GPIO.LOW)

GPIO.setup(23, GPIO.OUT) # Buzzer

GPIO.output(23, GPIO.HIGH)

time.sleep(0.5)

GPIO.output(23, GPIO.LOW)

4. Interfacing Input Devices (Button, PIR Sensor)

GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

if GPIO.input(17) == GPIO.LOW:

print("Button Pressed")

GPIO.setup(24, GPIO.IN)

if GPIO.input(24):

print("Motion Detected")

5. Reading Analog Sensors with MCP3008

Install SPI library:

sudo pip3 install spidev


Python Programming with Raspberry Pi - Complete Guide
Code:

import spidev

spi = spidev.SpiDev()

spi.open(0, 0)

spi.max_speed_hz = 1350000

def read_adc(channel):

adc = spi.xfer2([1, (8 + channel) << 4, 0])

data = ((adc[1]&3) << 8) + adc[2]

return data

while True:

value = read_adc(0)

print("Analog Value:", value)

time.sleep(1)

6. Cleanup Code

Always end scripts with:

GPIO.cleanup()

to reset pin state and avoid warnings.

7. Summary

This guide introduced Python basics, Raspberry Pi setup, and GPIO interfacing.

It covers LED, buzzer, button, PIR sensor, and analog sensor reading with MCP3008.
