Raspberry Pi Tutorial

Sample Projects and Use Cases > Raspberry Pi Tutorial

Welcome to the Vuforia Studio Raspberry Pi tutorial!

Scenario

In this tutorial, you’ll develop an application that integrates data from a Raspberry Pi (including other options that you’ll choose. For example, a distance sensor and/or a temperature/humidity sensor). We’ll show you how to capture, store, analyze, and visualize data utilizing Vuforia Studio and the ThingWorx platform. We’ll walk you through the following steps:

1. Generate an Application Key

2. Create a Thing

3. Set Up the Raspberry Pi

4. Hook Up the Sensors (Optional)

5. Copy Scripts to the Raspberry Pi (Optional)

6. Create a Project

7. Add a 3D Model to the Experience

8. Add a ThingMark

9. Add a 3D Label

10. Add 2D Widgets

11. Name the Experience

12. Publish the Experience

13. View the Experience in Vuforia View

What You’ll Need

• Access to Vuforia Studio.

• Access to an Experience Service

• The RaspberryPiKit.zip

• Download Vuforia View from the Google Play Store or the Apple Store

• A printer to print your ThingMark

• A supported mobile device (phone or tablet)

◦ For a list of supported iOS devices and Android operating systems, see the Getting Started Guide.

• Raspberry Pi equipment:

◦ Raspberry Pi—If you don't have one, purchase one directly from the Raspberry Pi web site, or from one of their distribution partners, element14, or RS.

◦ An SD card (8 GB or larger) with the Raspbian Jessie operating system installed

◦ Either a remote access application or a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse to interact with the Raspberry Pi

◦ A power supply for the Raspberry Pi

◦ Local network connectivity with access to the internet

◦ A form of external sensor if desired (for example, an HC-SR04 distance sensor or a DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor)
