This book is all about building your own DIY home control system. It presents two innovative ways to assemble such a system: By recycling old PC hardware – possibly extending the life of an old PC, or by using Raspberry Pi. In both cases, the main system outlined in this book will consist of a computer platform, a wireless mains outlet, a controller and a USB webcam – All linked together by Linux. By using the Raspberry Pi in conjunction with Arduino (used as an advanced I/O system board), it is possible to construct a small, compact, embedded control system offering enhanced capacity for USB integration, webcams, thermal monitoring and communication with the outside world. The experience required to undertake the projects within this book are minimal exposure to PC hardware and software, the ability to surf the internet, burn a CD-ROM and assemble a small PCB.

Learn programming for Alexa devices, extend it to smart home devices and control the Raspberry Pi The book is split into two parts: the first part covers creating Alexa skills and the second part, designing Internet of Things and Smart Home devices using a Raspberry Pi. The first chapters describe the process of Alexa communication, opening an Amazon account and creating a skill for free. The operation of an Alexa skill and terminology such as utterances, intents, slots, and conversations are explained. Debugging your code, saving user data between sessions, S3 data storage and Dynamo DB database are discussed. In-skill purchasing, enabling users to buy items for your skill as well as certification and publication is outlined. Creating skills using AWS Lambda and ASK CLI is covered, along with the Visual Studio code editor and local debugging. Also covered is the process of designing skills for visual displays and interactive touch designs using Alexa Presentation Language. The second half of the book starts by creating a Raspberry Pi IoT 'thing' to control a robot from your Alexa device. This covers security issues and methods of sending and receiving MQTT messages between an Alexa device and the Raspberry Pi. Creating a smart home device is described including forming a security profile, linking with Amazon, and writing a Lambda function that gets triggered by an Alexa skill. Device discovery and on/off control is demonstrated. Next, readers discover how to control a smart home Raspberry Pi display from an Alexa skill using Simple Queue Service (SQS) messaging to switch the display on and off or change the color. A node-RED design is discussed from the basic user interface right up to configuring MQTT nodes. MQTT messages sent from a user are displayed on a Raspberry Pi. A chapter discusses sending a proactive notification such as a weather alert from a Raspberry Pi to an Alexa device. The book concludes by explaining how to create Raspberry Pi as a stand-alone Alexa device.

For Raspberry Pi, ESP32 and nRF52 with Python, Arduino and Zephyr Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio chips are ubiquitous from Raspberry Pi to light bulbs. BLE is an elaborate technology with a comprehensive specification, but the basics are quite accessible. A progressive and systematic approach will lead you far in mastering this wireless communication technique, which is essential for working in low power scenarios. In this book, you’ll learn how to: Discover BLE devices in the neighborhood by listening to their advertisements. Create your own BLE devices advertising data. Connect to BLE devices such as heart rate monitors and proximity reporters. Create secure connections to BLE devices with encryption and authentication. Understand BLE service and profile specifications and implement them. Reverse engineer a BLE device with a proprietary implementation and control it with your own software. Make your BLE devices use as little power as possible. This book shows you the ropes of BLE programming with Python and the Bleak library on a Raspberry Pi or PC, with C++ and NimBLE-Arduino on Espressif’s ESP32 development boards, and with C on one of the development boards supported by the Zephyr real-time operating system, such as Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52 boards. Starting with a very little amount of theory, you’ll develop code right from the beginning. After you’ve completed this book, you’ll know enough to create your own BLE applications.

Dit boek gaat over de Raspberry Pi, en over het programmeren in C. De programmeertaal C en het besturingssysteem Linux (Raspbian) passen uitstekend bij elkaar. Alles wat we nodig hebben om in C te programmeren wordt meegeleverd met het besturingssysteem van de Raspberry Pi. In dit boek leert u hoe C gebruikt wordt met de Raspberry Pi, en krijgt u een overzicht van de taal. WiringPi is een softwarebibliotheek voor de Raspberry Pi waarmee C hardware-uitbreidingen kan benaderen. Die bibliotheek wordt gebruikt om sensoren uit te lezen en om extra hardware aan te sturen. U gaat experimenteren met LED’s en schakelaars, met motoren, met geluid en met sensoren voor temperatuur, luchtdruk, en luchtvochtigheid. Met een Linux-systeem kunt u een webserver maken, inclusief interactieve websites met PHP en WiringPi. Daarom is ook een beknopt overzicht van HTML en PHP in het boek opgenomen. In de voorbeelden worden sensoren via het web uitgelezen en worden apparaten bestuurd. In het laatste voorbeeld wordt een temperatuurlogger gemaakt. Die meet elk kwartier de temperatuur. Een tabel met de meetwaarden kan via het web worden uitgelezen. Alle voorbeeldprogramma’s kunnen worden gedownload van de website van Elektor.

Pfiffige Projekte zum Messen, Steuern und Regeln Der Raspberry Pi dominiert seit vielen Jahren die Maker-Szene. Frei verfügbare I/O-Pins machten ihn zu einem der beliebtesten Prozessorboards aller Zeiten. Allerdings verfügt der klassische Raspberry Pi über keinerlei Analogeingänge. Eine direkte Messung analoger Werte ist damit nicht möglich. So können weder Photodioden noch NTCs oder Hallsensoren etc. unmittelbar ausgelesen werden. Zudem sind die Pins direkt, d. h. ohne Treiber oder Schutzschaltung, mit den freiliegenden Kontakten verbunden. Dadurch kann der zentrale Controller und damit der gesamte Raspberry Pi schnell zerstört werden. Mit dem Pico können diese Probleme elegant gelöst werden. Er kann als sogenanntes „Frontend“ problemlos vielfältige Messaufgaben übernehmen. Zudem ist der Pico deutlich preisgünstiger als ein klassischer Raspberry Pi 4. Falls eine Fehlbeschaltung zur Zerstörung des Pico führt, ist dies vor allem für nicht-professionelle Anwender relativ leicht zu verkraften. Der klassische Raspberry Pi und der Pico werden so zum idealen Duo. Das Buch führt entsprechend in das weite und hochaktuelle Gebiet der modernen Controllertechnik anhand der beiden Boards „Raspberry Pi 4“ und „Raspberry Pi Pico“ ein. Neben einer tiefergehenden Einführung in die Arbeits- und Funktionsweise der Controllerboards selbst wird insbesondere auch auf die Messwerterfassung und -verarbeitung mit digitalen Prozessoren eingegangen. Insbesondere die Kombination beider Systeme bietet vielfältige und hochinteressante Möglichkeiten. Praktische Projekte aus dem Inhalt: USB-Verbindung zwischen Raspberry Pi 4 und Pico I²C-Kommunikation und Pico als I²C-Device Voltmeter und Computerthermometer Pico W als Web-Server und WLAN-Scanner Frequenzmesser und -generatoren OLED-Displays an Pico und Raspberry Pi 4 Energiesparmonitor Welche Astronauten sind im Orbit?
