Internet of Things with Python [EPUB ebook] 

Interact with the world and rapidly prototype Io T applications using Python

• Rapidly prototype even complex Io T applications with Python and put them to practical use


• Enhance your Io T skills with the most up-to-date applicability in the field of wearable tech, smart environments, and home automation


• Interact with hardware, sensors, and actuators and control your DIY Io T projects through Python

The book is ideal for Python developers who want to explore the tools in the Python ecosystem in order to build their own Io T applications and work on Io T-related projects. It is also a very useful resource for developers with experience in other programming languages that want to easily prototype Io T applications with the Intel Galileo Gen 2 board.

• Prototype and develop Io T solutions from scratch with Python as the programming language


• Develop Io T projects with Intel Galileo Gen 2 board along with Python


• Work with the different components included in the boards using Python and the MRAA library


• Interact with sensors, actuators, and shields


• Work with UART and local storage


• Interact with any electronic device that supports the I2C bus


• Allow mobile devices to interact with the board


• Work with real-time Io T and cloud services


• Understand Big Data and Io T analytics

Internet of Things (Io T) is revolutionizing the way devices/things interact with each other. And when you have Io T with Python on your side, you’ll be able to build interactive objects and design them.

This book lets you stay at the forefront of cutting-edge research on Io T. We’ll open up the possibilities using tools that enable you to interact with the world, such as Intel Galileo Gen 2, sensors, and other hardware. You will learn how to read, write, and convert digital values to generate analog output by programming Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in Python. You will get familiar with the complex communication system included in the board, so you can interact with any shield, actuator, or sensor.

Later on, you will not only see how to work with data received from the sensors, but also perform actions by sending them to a specific shield. You’ll be able to connect your Io T device to the entire world, by integrating Wi Fi, Bluetooth, and Internet settings. With everything ready, you will see how to work in real time on your Io T device using the MQTT protocol in python.

By the end of the book, you will be able to develop Io T prototypes with Python, libraries, and tools.

This book takes a tutorial-like approach with mission critical chapters. The initial chapters are introductions that set the premise for useful examples covered in later chapters.
