Book Description

Renowned for its versatility, affordability, and active community support, Raspberry Pi is at the forefront of IoT development. Unlock the vast potential of Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Pico by learning how to develop practical projects with this updated edition of Internet of Things Programming Projects.

Written by an expert programmer who’s worked for some of Canada’s largest companies, this book starts with foundational concepts and practical exercises such as building a basic weather indicator, and gradually progressed toward more complex projects. You’ll get to grips with coding nuances and web service integrations that will help you create a sophisticated IoT robot car equipped with motor control, wireless communication, and sensor amalgamation. The book also explores LoRa technology, a game-changer for long-range, low-power communication in your projects, and delves into robot car development by implementing the Robot Operating System (ROS) for advanced control and coordination.

Through clear, step-by-step instructions and insightful explanations, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to develop innovative IoT solutions for real-world applications. By the end of the book, you’ll have mastered the intricacies of IoT programming, from harnessing Raspberry Pi's capabilities to seamlessly integrating external components.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
