Chapter 11: Extending Delphi with Bluetooth, IoT, and Raspberry Pi
As electronic devices proliferate and communication between them becomes more ubiquitous, the ability to collect and share information among nearly anything offers boundless opportunities. Delphi embraces this new field of the Internet of Things (IoT) wholeheartedly. We'll start by examining Bluetooth technologies, the foundation for connecting small devices in many ways. It not only provides wireless connection capabilities to nearby paired devices but also allows ad hoc information polling from IoT devices, allowing many specialized applications in a wide variety of fields. We'll also demonstrate how to put your apps on a Raspberry Pi.
We'll explore these platforms in the following sections:
- Starting with Bluetooth Classic
- Learning about low-energy Bluetooth
- Utilizing beacons
- Doing more with the Internet of Things
- Using a Raspberry Pi
