Raspberry Pi
Motors, Servos, and Relays
Add Some Muscle to Your Projects
Use DC motors to drive remote controlled vehicles and robotics projects, or servos to rotate the angle of a Raspberry Pi webcam remotely through buttons on a web page. Use relays to switch appliances like a stereo system on and off remotely. Jump into the tutorials below to get started.
How to Use Servos on the Raspberry Pi
Learn how setup servos on the Raspberry Pi and create a graphical user interface to control the position of the servos.
How to Use 5V Relays With the Raspberry Pi
Learn how to control high voltage devices with a Raspberry Pi and a 5V relay. Here we use a thermistor and a 5V relay to build a temperature controlled lamp.
How to Use DC Motors on the Raspberry Pi
Learn how to connect DC motors to the Raspberry Pi and control them with a Python based graphical user interface (GUI). Step by step instructions with wiring diagrams and code included.
