Getting started with Raspberry Pi development
Our Raspberry Pi can serve as a robust development platform ideal for various programming environments. The default Linux-based Raspberry Pi OS is equipped with Python, Scratch, and many other tools that cater to both beginners and seasoned programmers. It’s particularly effective for IoT projects and edge computing, thanks to its small form factor. As developers, we can use it for software development, web hosting, home automation projects, and prototyping, making it a versatile and accessible tool for innovation.
In this book, we will develop IoT projects using the Raspberry Pi, specifically utilizing the Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM for optimal performance. While other versions of the Raspberry Pi may be sufficient, the Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM is currently the most powerful model available. Our projects will encompass an array of exciting applications, including an analog metered weather dashboard, an internet-connected...
