Summary
In this chapter, we began our journey into the world of IoT projects with the Raspberry Pi. We explored the various Raspberry Pi models, their distinct characteristics, and their significance in IoT development. We took a brief look at the alternatives to the Raspberry Pi for IoT applications and explored Raspberry Pi HATs, such as the Pibrella HAT and the Raspberry Pi Sense HAT.
Additionally, we looked at operating systems compatible with the Raspberry Pi, outside of the official Raspberry Pi OS. We highlighted the versatility and power of the Raspberry Pi in IoT applications, emphasizing its ability to process real-time data and control physical devices. The chapter also introduced the Raspberry Pi as a robust development platform, equipped with pre-installed tools for software development.
At the end of the chapter, we engaged in practical programming projects that utilized Sense HAT and explored its potential in IoT applications. These projects included a scrolling...
