Experiment with building IoT projects without the demanding time or
patience required to learn about electronics. This book thoroughly
introduces readers of all ages to the world of IoT devices and
electronics without getting bogged down by the overly technical aspects
or being tied to a specific platform. You'll learn IoT, Arduino,
Raspberry Pi from the ground up using the Qwiic and Grove components
systems.
The book begins with a brief overview of IoT followed by primers for the
two most popular platforms; Arduino and Raspberry Pi. There is also a
short tutorial on programming each host; Arduino C-like sketches and
Python scripts respectfully. Thus, the book also helps you get started
with your choice of platform. Next, you'll learn the basics for the
Qwiic and Grove component systems.
The rest of the book presents a number of projects organized into
easy-to-follow chapters that details the goal for the project, the
components used, a walk-through of the code, and a challenge section
that provides suggestions on how to improve or augment the project.
Projects are presented for both the Arduino and Raspberry Pi where
possible making each project as versatile as possible.
