The Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest single-board computer from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It can
be used in many applications such as in audio and video media centers as a desktop computer
in industrial controllers robotics and in many domestic and commercial applications. In
addition to the well-established features found in other Raspberry Pi computers the Raspberry
Pi 5 offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (classic and BLE) which makes it a perfect match for IoT as
well as in remote and Internet-based control and monitoring applications. It is now possible to
develop many real-time projects such as audio digital signal processing real-time digital
filtering real-time digital control and monitoring and many other real-time operations using
this tiny powerhouse. The book starts with an introduction to the Raspberry Pi 5 computer and
covers the important topics of accessing the computer locally and remotely. Use of the console
language commands as well as accessing and using the desktop GUI are described with working
examples. The remaining parts of the book cover many Raspberry Pi 5-based hardware projects
using components and devices such as LEDs and buzzers LCDs Ultrasonic sensors
Temperature and atmospheric pressure sensors The Sense HAT Camera modules Example
projects are given using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules to send and receive data from smartphones
and PCs and sending real-time temperature and atmospheric pressure data to the cloud. All
projects given in the book have been fully tested for correct operation. Only basic programming
and electronics experience are required to follow the projects. Brief descriptions block
diagrams detailed circuit diagrams and full Python program listings are given for all
projects described. Readers can find the program listings on the Elektor website
