Explore physical computing with Python and Raspberry Pi in this informative 35-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2015. Discover how to use Python for hardware projects, bypassing traditional embedded programming languages like C or Assembler. Learn about various physical computing projects, including beer brewing, microscopy, and sous vide cooking. Gain insights into GPIO pins, push button stop motion, and GPIO music boxes. Explore hardware add-ons like the Gertboard, motor controller boards, and HATs (Hardware Attached on Top). Understand applications in education and engage with projects such as remote-controlled power sockets, plantpot greenhouses, and weather stations. Get started with physical computing and unlock the potential of combining Python programming with Raspberry Pi hardware.
