Leverage the full potential of IoT with the combination of Raspberry Pi 3 and Python

Build complex Python-based applications with IoT

Work on various IoT projects and understand the basics of electronics

Description

The Internet of Things (IOT) has managed to attract the attention of researchers and tech enthusiasts, since it powerfully combines classical networks with instruments and devices. In Internet of Things Programming Projects, we unleash the power of Raspberry Pi and Python to create engaging projects. In the first part of the book, you’ll be introduced to the Raspberry Pi, learn how to set it up, and then jump right into Python programming. Then, you’ll dive into real-world computing by creating a“Hello World” app using flash LEDs. As you make your way through the chapters, you’ll go back to an age when analog needle meters ruled the world of data display. You’ll learn to retrieve weather data from a web service and display it on an analog needle meter, and build a home security system using the Raspberry Pi. The next project has a modern twist, where we employ the Raspberry Pi to send a signal to a web service that will send you a text when someone is at the door. In the final project, you take what you've learned from the previous two projects and create an IoT robot car that you can use to monitor what your pets are up to when you are away. By the end of this book, you will be well versed in almost every possible way to make your IoT projects stand out.

The best way to learn something is by doing! This book will show you real applications for internet enabled electro-mechanical devices and machines. This book was a great intro for me into the Raspberry Pi world and gave me an excellent foundation to implement my own inventions. This book will NOT teach you Python from scratch nor HTML/CSS from scratch but it does a damn good job of getting you coding these languages without a deep dive into code semantics/syntax. I learned heaps about the semantics/syntax just by working through the projects. Oh and yes, you'll have to buy all the sensors and actuators if you want to actually work these projects. Also, the "grand finale" is a robot car ... there's quite a few purchases required in order to implement this one. The author does a great job of informing you where to buy what you need though.

I am only on chapter 6 because I have been reading this book at my leisure. I wouldn't recommend this book as a first book for beginners but if you have a little experience with the Pi and Python then this book is great. It is easy to follow along and it has a lot of practical examples. I bought this book because the final chapters teach you how to build a robot car from scratch. I have not been disappointed so far. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to make their own projects because this book doesn't just teach you how to put together a few projects. Ultimately, it will teach you how to make some of your own projects from scratch.

Did the author even test the code examples from his book? i.e. 'pip3 install weather-api' does not work. Module name is wrong. Unfortunately it seems it's too late to get my money back.
