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 works as an I2C bus master and allows us to:

    1. Connect many slaves to the I2C bus as long as their have different I2C addresses.

    2. Connect many slaves to the I2C bus as long as their have the same I2C addresses.

    3. Connect a maximum of two slaves to the I2C bus as long as their have different I2C addresses.

  2. A 16x2 LCD module allows us to display:

    1. Two lines of text with 16 characters each.

    2. Sixteen lines of text with 2 characters each.

    3. Sixteen lines of text with 3 characters each.

  3. A 16 grayscale 96-by-96 dot matrix OLED display module allows us to control:

    1. 96 lines of text with 96 characters each.

    2. A single line with 96 dots or 96 characters, based on how we configure the OLED display.

    3. 9,216 dots (96*96).

  4. A 16 grayscale 96-by-96 dot matrix OLED display with an 8-by-8 character box allows us to display:

    1. 96 lines of text with 96 characters each: 96 columns and 96 rows.

    2. 16 lines of text with 16 characters each: 16 columns and 16 rows.

    3. 12 lines of text with 12 characters...
