New Live Stream: Experimenting With Java and Electronics on Raspberry Pi

Ida Bzowska

Join the IntelliJ IDEA Live Stream on Wednesday, April 20, at 17:00 CET / 15:00 UTC. Our special guest, Frank Delporte, author of Getting Started with Java on Raspberry Pi, will be giving a presentation entitled Experimenting With Java and Electronics on Raspberry Pi.
Java is a write once, run everywhere kind of language; but is it really possible to run Java everywhere? Even on SBCs? If you thought that Raspberry Pi could only be programmed using Python, come and see just how effective Java can be. The session is for all Java programmers, not just fans of tiny hardware. You can even give yourself a head start by going through the Pi4J project.

Session Description

Java has proven to be a perfect match for the Raspberry Pi, especially with the recent evolutions in the JDK and OpenJFX. The latest Raspberry Pi boards, including the $15 Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, are great Linux machines to run Java applications on. With its low price but high specifications, Raspberry Pi is opening worlds of new opportunities.

In this talk, we’ll look at the current state of Pi4J along with some examples, like blinking an LED, sending sensor data to a message broker, running a Spring application, and playing an FXGL (JavaFX gaming engine) game. We’ll experiment with Java on a CrowPi to read values from sensors and control other electronic components. We will be using IntelliJ IDEA to write the code, push it to the Raspberry Pi to run the application, and interact with hardware components like an LCD display, LED matrix, buzzer, and so on.
