How to Control Raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. In today's article, I am going to show you How to Control Raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop or Computer. In our previous tutorial, we have seen
How to setup 7 inch HDMI LCD with Raspberry Pi 3 and you must have noticed that designing your code on TFT LCD is quite difficult. So, either you have the LCD or not, its always better to work on your Laptop.
In order to control our raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop, we have to use VNC server & client. It's a third party tool designed by RealVNC. We have to install VNC server on the raspberry Pi and VNC viewer on our laptop & after that we can quite easily control our VNC Server from VNC Viewer (Client). So, let's get started with How to Control Raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop using VNC Server & Viewer:
How to Control Raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop
- As I have told earlier, in order to control Raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop, we have to install two things:
- VNC Server on Raspberry Pi 3.
- VNC Viewer on Laptop.
- If you have already setup your 7 inch HDMI LCD, then first thing you need to do is, you need to connect your raspberry Pi with your Wifi.
- Simply Click on the Internet Access in the toolbar and then connect to your Wifi as you do in your laptop.
- Now, one you are connected to internet, now you need to open your LX-Terminal and then type this command in it:
sudo apt-get update
- The above command will simply update the package, as shown in below figure:
- Now we are gonna install tightvncserver on our raspberry pi 3, by using the below command:
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
- When you will enter the above command then VNC Server will be downloaded on your Raspberry Pi 3, and after that it will ask Do you want to continue, as shown in below figure:
- So, press Y as yes and it will install the VNC Server on your raspberry Pi 3, as shown in below figure:
- It will also ask for the password and I have given it "12345678".
- As you can see in the above figure that we have successfully installed VNC Server on your Raspberry Pi.
- Now in order to start vnc server on your raspberry pi 3, you have to use below command:
vncserver :1
- Now we have to install VNC Viewer on our laptop, so download VNC Viewer for Windows and install it on your laptop.
- Once its installed then open your VNC Viewer and then click on File in top menu bar and then New Connection.
- It will open up a new window to add new connection, as shown in below figure:
- In the IP address section you have to enter the ip address of your Raspberry Pi and then place :1 after that.
- In order to find the ip address of your raspberry pi 3, you can use the below command:
sudo ifconfig
- I have shown the results in below figure and you can see ip address of our raspberry pi is written in the second line of wlan0.
- So, we have gotten the ip address, enter it in the VNC Viewer and give it some friendly name, I am giving it pi, as shown in below figure:
- I am again mentioning this this here that you have to place :1 after your ip address.
- Now click OK button and then right click your newly created connection and then click on the Connect, and it will start connecting to your Raspberry Pi 3:
- It will show you a warning pop and you need to click Continue, as shown in below figure:
- You can also tick the checkbox, if you don't want it to appear again.
- After that, it will ask for the password, which we have set while installing it and it was "12345678", so simply enter that password, as shown in below figure:
- Now click OK and your raspberry Pi 3's desktop will open up in front of you, as shown in below figure:
- So, that's how you can quite easily control your raspberry pi 3 from laptop. Now you can write your codes from laptop.
Let me summarize everything. In today's tutorial, we have seen How to Control our Raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop and we have used VNC Server & Viewer in order to do that. But you must have noticed that in order to install the VNC server on raspberry pi 3, we have to use HDMI LCD. So, what if you don't have this HDMI LCD? In the next tutorial, we will have a look at that and we will see How to control Raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop using Ethernet. So, that's all for today. Take care and have fun !!! :)

Introduction to 1n751a
Hey Friends! We welcome you on board. I am back to give you daily dose of information. Electronic components play an important role in the designing and working of electronic projects. Today, I am going to unlock the details on the
Introduction to 1n751a. It is a zener diode, also known as highly reliable voltage regulator, which is mainly used in industrial, commercial, entertainment and computer applications. It is slightly different than regular diode, as regular diode conducts in only one direction while zener diode can conduct in both directions. I will discuss every aspect related to this zener diode, so you don't need to go anywhere and find all information in one place. Let's dive in and explore, what is it about and what are its main applications?
Introduction to 1n751a
- 1n751a is a zener diode which is also referred as highly reliable voltage regulator, mainly used in industrial, commercial, entertainment and computer applications.
- It comes with a very sharp reverse characteristics, which makes it an ideal choice for voltage stabilization applications.
- This zener diode is a p-n junction diode which is capable of conducting in both directions i.e. forward direction and reverse direction.
- However, making it operate in reverse biased condition is little bit tricky because reverse breakdown voltage must be achieved in order to operate it in reverse biased condition.
- One important feature that makes this zener diode ahead of regular diode is that voltage drop across the zener diode doesn't change over a wide range of voltages, which makes it suitable and highly effective for voltage regulation applications.
- This zener diode works in breakdown voltage and is an ideal choice for generating reference voltage.
- Most of the electronic circuits are equipped with this zener diode because it prevents them from over voltage.
- This zener diode comes with 1.5 forward voltage at 200mA and votlage tolerance appears to be 5%. And reverse leakage current is 1 µA at 1 V.
- It features very effective working characteristic and comes with a power of 500 mW.
Working of 1n751a
- Working of this zener diode is quite identical to normal diode with one exception - it conducts in both directions.
- This zener diode acts like a normal diode in forward biased condition.
- It will only allow the conduction in the reverse direction when reverse voltage reaches to the breakdown voltage, allowing the current to flow from cathode to anode.
- Over a wide range of applied voltage, current reaches to maximum point and stabilizes itself after a certain amount of time, making it suitable for using as a voltage stabilizer.
- Zener breakdown effect is the main cause of voltage breakdown. However, it can also occur due to impact ionization. Both mechanism come into play at 5.5 V and come with same feature and don’t need different circuitry for working efficiently. However, temperature coefficient is the main feature where both mechanism differ. Zener effect shows negative temperature coefficient while impact ionization shows positive temperature coefficient. Both effects cancel each other at 5.5 V, helps zener diode achieving the most stable state over a wide range of temperatures.
Applications
This zener diode comes with a lot of applications and used in electronic circuits in different forms ranging from voltage regulator to waveform clipper to voltage shiftier. However, mainly it is used for voltage regulator. Let's discuss, how it is used in different form in electronic circuits.
1. Voltage Regulator
- When zener diode is connected in parallel with the voltage using reverse biased mode, it will be capable of starting conduction when voltage equals to a breakdown voltage.
- You can see from the figure above that source voltage is applied in parallel with the diode that helps in decreasing the output voltage from its input, keeping the breakdown voltage constant over a wide range of source voltage.
- Constant breakdown voltage takes a vital part in maintaining the stable output voltage, making it unable for input voltage to effect the output voltage.
2. Waveform Clipper
- Zener diode shows a different behavior when it is connected in series.
- It acts as a waveform clipper when connected in series, allowing the waveform to clip from both ends of the cycle i.e. positive end and negative end of the cycle.
- High voltage spikes that can occur at the end of output voltage can also be prevented with the use of zener diode, helping in reshaping the output signal.
3. Voltage Shifter
- Voltage shifting is another feature in which zener diode is good at.
- When it acts as a voltage shifter, it reduces the amount of output voltage equal to the breakdown voltage.
