Internet of Things with Python

By: Gaston C. Hillar

Overview of this book

Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way devices/things interact with each other. And when you have IoT 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 IoT. 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 IoT device to the entire world, by integrating WiFi, Bluetooth, and Internet settings. With everything ready, you will see how to work in real time on your IoT device using the MQTT protocol in python. By the end of the book, you will be able to develop IoT prototypes with Python, libraries, and tools.

  1. The Intel Galileo Gen 2 board includes:

    1. WiFi connectivity onboard with three antennas.

    2. Ethernet connectivity onboard.

    3. Bluetooth connectivity onboard.

  2. The Intel Galileo Gen 2 board is hardware and pin compatible with a wide range of:

    1. Arduino Uno R3 shields.

    2. Arduino Pi shields.

    3. Raspberry Pi shields.

  3. The jumper labeled IOREF allows us to:

    1. Select between 3.5V or 7V shield operation and provide voltage-level translation to all the I/O pins.

    2. Select between 3.3V or 5V shield operation and provide voltage-level translation to all the I/O pins.

    3. Reset the board.

  4. The LED labeled L is connected to the following pins of the digital I/O pins:

    1. 11.

    2. 12.

    3. 13.

  5. The back of the board provides the following slot:

    1. Mini PCI Express.

    2. PCMCIA.

    3. Thunderbolt.
