Things Needed[AdSense-C]
Raspberry Pi
Matrix Device
Micro SD Card
Active Internet Connection
A Power Adapter ( Min 2.3 Amp)
Camera (Optional)
Step 1 : Setting Up Raspberry Pi
Download and burn latest Raspbian image to a micro SD card and insert it into the raspberry Pi.
Now power it up with a power adapter that can provide at least 2.5 Ampere. Now fire up your terminal and create a password for the user ‘pi’ by executing the command
sudo passwd pi
[AdSense-C]
Connect your Raspberry Pi to a WiFi router or Wired network and make sure it is connected by checking whether it is getting an IP address from the switch.
Now perform and update and upgrade by running
sudo apt update -ysudo apt upgrade -y
Step 2 : Connect MATRIX Device to Raspberry Pi
Now simply align the header pins and slowly connect the MATRIX device to your Raspberry Pi
In the previous post, we showed you how to setup Amazon Alexa using MATRIX Voice / Creator on Raspberry Pi. All it can do is talk to us and do some some basic stuffs. What if we could control the lights in our home using Alexa? Or control the room temperature? Or open the gate?…
