In particular i ll be using a water level detection sensor and a 200 psi pressure sensor.

It s a great way to learn how to code whilst also makin.
You can sense almost anything with the large range of sensors we stock here at the pi hut.
How to determine the temperature and humidity with sensors has already been shown in previous tutorials.
The raspberry pi can also be used as a micro controller but it has a lot more functions because it runs an operating system.
A true micro controller is e g.
It can for example also read analog sensors.
For weather stations and similar projects it is often important to determine the air pressure.
Unlike arduinos the raspberry pi doesn t have an adc which stands for analog to digital converter.
Sensors add almost human sensing capabilities to your projects taking real world events and converting them to analogue or digital signals for your microcontroller to read.
If you are familiar with the camjam edukits then you will already be familiar with a few sensors like the 1 wire temperature sensor a light dependent resistor and movement with the passive infrared pir sensor in this tutorial we are going to learn how to sense the outside world using a set of digital sensors on the tiny bmp180 board.
With the help of the barometer bmp180 the air pressure in hpa bar can be determined via the i c bus of the raspberry pi.
In particular i will use water level detection sensors and 200 psi pressure sensors.
