Synopsis

<ul><li>Code tested on the Raspberry Pi 3 and the new Raspberry Pi 4</li>
<li>Color photographs and circuit diagrams</li>
<li>300+ code listings illustrate Python programming concepts</li>
<li>250+ homework problems ranging from short Python scripts to web site configuration projects
<li>Circuit examples</li>
<li>Labs on measuring voltage, current, and resistance using a multimeter</li>
<li>Send a text message if the light level detected by an LDR circuit falls below a threshold</li>
<li>Send an email if motion is detected using a PIR sensor circuit</li>
<li>Use an ultrasonic sensor in a proximity alert circuit and make a phone call if an intruder gets too close</li>
<li>Use a GPS HAT to get waypoints and store them in a file</li>
<li>Use an analog to digital converter to read in data from sensors</li>
<li>Control a servo using classes</li>
<li>Upload data to the cloud</li>
<li>Learn how to access a database using SQL statements</li>
<li>Deploy a home monitor system that uses the Raspberry Pi Camera and a PIR sensor circuit. Upload pictures to a web server in the cloud and access the pictures on a web page.</li>
<li>Control a robot using a multi-threaded application</li></ul>
<p>Developing applications that operate in the realm of the Internet of Things requires, in addition to the mastery of a programming language, an understanding of networking, an understanding of how to use different platforms, an understanding of basic electronic circuits, and a familiarity with databases. Owing to its built-in WiFi capability and its forty general-purpose input/output pins, the Raspberry Pi computer is the ideal device for teaching students how to write code that controls electronic circuits whether the code is executed from a keyboard attached directly to the Raspberry Pi or executed from a smart phone. One of the most popular programming languages in the world, Python, is installed with the Raspbian operating system.</p>
