This repository provides various examples for using peripheral devices such as sensors, buzzers, relays and add-on boards on Raspberry Pi single board computers written in popular programming languages C, C++, Python, etc. All examples are available under MIT license.
These examples are appropriate for beginners. Hopefully, they will encourage more developers to join the Raspberry Pi community and to help them get started easily with various peripheral devices for both professional and hobby and DIY projects.
If you are interested in running any of the examples for I2C written in C/C++ as a regular user (not root) perform the following steps:
Simple application to test if a piezo buzzer attached to pin 11 is working.
Install wiringPi and after that execute the following command to build the application:
cd buzzer/c/
gcc beep.c -o beep -lwiringPi -std=c99
Execute the following command to run the application:
sudo ./beep
Implementation of the Imperial March from Star Wars.
Install wiringPi and after that execute the following command to build the application:
cd buzzer/c/
gcc starwars.c -o starwars -lwiringPi -std=c99
Execute the following command to play the Imperial March:
sudo ./starwars
Install i2c tools:
sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
Enable i2c on Raspberry Pi with Raspian GNU/Linux distribution:
sudo raspi-config
Go to Advanced Options > A7 I2C and reboot the board
Verify that TSL2561 is detected on i2c address 39 on bus 1:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

Build and run the source code
cd TSL2561/c/
make
./TSL2561_test
Build and run the source code
cd MAX44009/c/
make
./MAX44009_test
