Raspberry Pi
Make a Workbench Computer
You will also learn how to use a GPIO breakout board that makes it very easy to secure wires to your Raspberry Pi
This Raspberry Pi project course will show you how to integrate a variety of components into a gadget that you can use to automate your work bench.
I call it "The Bench Computer".
With the Bench Computer, you will be able to control any device and appliance on your electronics work bench, like turn on and off your bench lights, soldering iron and fume extractor.
The Bench Computer provides a great framework on which you can build your own home automation projects Out of the box, you will be able to control anything with a simple on/off switch, like lights, fans, heaters etc.
I have designed this course to help you get started. What you get the Bench Computer to do is entirely up to you.
Here are the main components (software and hardware) that you will learn about by taking this course:
- The Raspberry Pi (version 3 is recommended, but any model with a 40-pin header will do)
- The Raspberry Pi 7-inch touchscreen
- The Raspberry Pi Camera v2
- The Piface Relay+ HAT (contains the small relays used to control 12V devices) OR a Keyestudio 4 Channel Relay board
- A GPIO board breakout
- Larger external relays used for controlling mains appliances like lights and your soldering iron
- Python 3 and the Tkinter framework for building the application
- Things that you want to control, like low-power 12V LED strips and fans, and mains appliances like a soldering iron.
Scroll further down for a list of learning objectives for this course.
All code is available on Github, and is free to download and use as you wish.
A list of parts is available in the first section of the course (free to view).
In 9 hours of video content and over 70 lectures, you will learn the necessary skills for interfacing you Raspberry Pi with your workbench.

What people are saying
raspberry pi
It's the first really useful thing I've done with the Raspberry Pi.
I am a beginner with the Raspberry Pi and Python and this was a good introduction to them both.
This course has motivated me to dig into the inner working of the Raspberry Pi 3, particularly terminal command, telnet and remote desktop programs for Windows, RSA key generation software and use, and BASH scripting and Python scripting.
Best place to start your projects with Raspberry pi.
The course has excellent content with practical application and functionality for the capabilities of a Raspberry Pi computer and extends this small but powerful computer way beyond spreadsheets and word processors.
It's the second course by Peter Dalmaris about Raspberry Pi, that I have been watching and it is excellent like the other.
I've purchased four of his others (The Electronics Workbench, KiCad Like a Pro, Raspberry Pi: Full Stack, and Arduino Step by Step) and his latest entry is just as great.
At this point, I haven't learned anything new, as I am a fairly experienced Raspberry Pi user (but not in the interfacing department which is where I expect to learn).
Peter has spent a lot of time designing a course for the Raspberry Pi that is both useful in helping to setup a workbench and to utilize the Raspberry PI for control.

looks like
It looks like I will be purchasing additional Rpi's in the future to play with.
The Piface Relay Plus looks like a good tool for interfacing loads that pull a little more amperage than just a few sensors and I am looking forward to working with it.

Peter Dalmaris is an excellent teacher who pays close attention to his students.
This is not my first course that I am taking with him, and I can say with confidence that when you see the name of Peter Dalmaris in a course, you can't get wrong, it means that will be a great quality course.
