With all of that setup, you can now go ahead and plugin your Raspberry Pi and go to your terminal to get started! If you have questions or want to know more about this, check out the Raspberry Pi docs at (look for "Enable SSH on a headless Raspberry Pi" on that webpage). This is so that when the Raspberry Pi boots up it will automatically turn on SSH, and then you can directly SSH into the machine after seeing its IP address appear on your network. In the boot folder add a WPA_nf folder that follows the official Raspberry Pi instructions.Īdditionally, you need to add an empty file that is just named "SSH" into your boot folder. This should automatically happen, but if not then just go into your Finder or File Explorer (windows) and navigate into the attached SD card and "boot" folder. Next, once your SD card is formatted, remove and reinsert the SD card into your computer and open the "boot" folder that opens up.

Once you install the imager just choose the 32 bit Raspberry Pi Lite version that you see here: To do this, do the following:įormat the SD card of your Pi with the official Raspberry Pi Imager. If this is your first Raspberry Pi project, you should first check out the Raspberry Pi website because they have some great docs on getting to know your device.įor this project I'm using what is called a "headless" setup where the Raspberry Pi doesn't have a desktop environment, and is controlled via SSH and the terminal. Setting up for your Raspberry Pi project only takes a few steps. If you want to go the soldering route, check out this kit on Amazon that has an iron and the necessary equipment. You could also get a different Raspberry Pi that has the GPIO pins already onboard. You can solder them yourself very easily, or you could get a kit that has this all connected. Usually if you buy a Raspberry Pi Zero W, it doesn't have these. If you notice the Raspberry Pi I'm using already has GPIO pins soldered on board.I recommend some googling and even other DIY ideas for fun. As I stated in the intro, if you don't have a 3D printer there are a lot of alternatives to the cool lamp cover I printed.When setting this all up, I found the this post on PiHut super helpful with explaining why you need this and how it works. The Raspberry Pi itself can only provide about 60mA but the LEDs will want to pull more. The reason we need a resistor is because they are necessary to control the power consumption from the Raspberry Pi.I linked them individually just to show what you would need. The Bread Board, Resistors, Jumper Wires, and LED lights can be all bought together.The CanaKit package I linked is great and I've used it for several projects.There are a lot of places to get all of these things.The original file was found at Thingiverse here. If you have a 3D printer, you can use the STL and GCODE file that I've included in my GitHub repo in the "lamp-model" folder. Raspberry Pi Zero W starter kit including power supply and SD card.However, you can find votive lamps and covers on Amazon that provide the same look and feel and could be used instead. If you wanted to 3D print the lamp itself, that would require a 3D printer. To do this project, you only need some basic materials that you can get either directly off of Amazon or at your local hobby store. I also created a YouTube video that covers this same project.

To run this lamp I'm using Python and you can see a full copy of all the source code I go over at my repo. In this post, I'm going to walkthrough how I built a weather lamp with a Raspberry Pi and a 3D printed lamp. There are many APIs that can give me forecast information freely, so I just needed to pull together a way to power the lamp and a way to change colors. My basic premise was that the lamp would turn different colors based on conditions like Rain, Snow, Clouds, or Sun. Recently I had a fun idea for an IoT project where I could have a lamp tell me what the weather was doing. Raspberry Pi Weather Lamp Posted on March 1, 2021
