Practical – taking advantage of open source IoT for your use case
In this end-of-chapter practical, we are going to do a somewhat different practical than we have done previously. We want to utilize this practical as a more freeform practical that allows you to use the skills you’ve gained so far to build on some open source IoT based on your use case.
Required tools and technologies
You will need to utilize the following tools and technologies for this practical:
- A computer with internet access
- An Arduino UNO/ESP32/Raspberry Pi (choose this based on your familiarity and the requirements of the chosen project)
- Sensors (for example, temperature sensor, motion sensor, and so on) and actuators (for example, relay, servo motor, and so on) that are compatible with your chosen board
- Access to open source repos (such as GitHub)
- A compatible coding environment (Arduino IDE, Thonny Python IDE for Raspberry Pi, and so on)
Now that you understand...
