Book DescriptionRenowned for its versatility, affordability, and active community support, Raspberry Pi is at the forefront of IoT development. Unlock the vast potential of Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Pico by learning how to develop practical projects with this updated edition of Internet of Things Programming Projects.
Written by an expert programmer who's worked for some of Canada's largest companies, this book starts with foundational concepts and practical exercises such as building a basic weather indicator, and gradually progressed toward more complex projects. You'll get to grips with coding nuances and web service integrations that will help you create a sophisticated IoT robot car equipped with motor control, wireless communication, and sensor amalgamation. The book also explores LoRa technology, a game-changer for long-range, low-power communication in your projects, and delves into robot car development by implementing the Robot Operating System (ROS) for advanced control and coordination.
Through clear, step-by-step instructions and insightful explanations, you'll gain the skills and confidence to develop innovative IoT solutions for real-world applications. By the end of the book, you'll have mastered the intricacies of IoT programming, from harnessing Raspberry Pi's capabilities to seamlessly integrating external components.What you will learn
Integrate web services into projects for real-time data display and analysis
Integrate sensors, motors, and displays to build smart IoT devices
Build a weather indicator using servo motors and LEDs
Create an autonomous IoT robot car capable of performing tasks
Develop a home security system with real-time alerts and SMS notifications
Explore LoRa and LoRaWAN for remote environmental monitoring
Who this book is forThis book is for beginners as well as experienced programmers, IoT developers, and Raspberry Pi enthusiasts. With just basic knowledge of IoT, you can dive right in and explore the projects with ease.
