HAL or Hardware Abstraction Layer is the lowest level layer of the MATRIX Creator drivers. You can either interact directly with HAL, or use the higher level components like MALOS or the MATRIX OS to tinker with the MATRIX Device. This uses C++ drivers for available sensors and hardware.

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
The ability to design microcontroller-based circuits is one of the most crucial skills that would benefit any electronics hobbyist the most. Modern life has been shaped by a technological revolution that was fundamentally aided by the microcontroller. Microcontrollers are compact, adaptable, and reasonably priced electronics components that can be successfully used and programmed by hobbyists,…
This week we’re introducing the new LORA Raspberry Pi gateway in this little enclosure. If you’re not yet familiar with it, LORA is a long-range communication protocol capable of communication distances in the neighborhood of 10 kilometers using low data rates and limited duty cycles. It’s perfect for intermittent or non-real-time long-distance communication applications. Package…
In this series, we will build Spinel Crux, a Gesture Controlled Robot which can travel through rough terrain and can be controlled using hand gestures. To control the robot, we will be using control glove, which will have an accelerometer and a flex sensor to control the status and the direction it should move. The…
MATRIX Labs have now released a new Raspberry Pi accessory that combines a whole new level of sensors built into miniature computer. The MATRIX Creator – was built with an aim of giving every hobbyist, tinkerer, and hackers around the world a complete, affordable, and user friendly device for simple as well as complex Internet…
