Overview of this book

This Learning Path takes you on a journey in the world of robotics and teaches you all that you can achieve with Raspberry Pi and Python. It teaches you to harness the power of Python with the Raspberry Pi 3 and the Raspberry Pi zero to build superlative automation systems that can transform your business. You will learn to create text classifiers, predict sentiment in words, and develop applications with the Tkinter library. Things will get more interesting when you build a human face detection and recognition system and a home automation system in Python, where different appliances are controlled using the Raspberry Pi. With such diverse robotics projects, you'll grasp the basics of robotics and its functions, and understand the integration of robotics with the IoT environment. By the end of this Learning Path, you will have covered everything from configuring a robotic controller, to creating a self-driven robotic vehicle using Python. • Raspberry Pi 3 Cookbook for Python Programmers - Third Edition by Tim Cox, Dr. Steven Lawrence Fernandes • Python Programming with Raspberry Pi by Sai Yamanoor, Srihari Yamanoor • Python Robotics Projects by Prof. Diwakar Vaish

Making an IoT-based intrusion detector


Now that Raspberry Pi is set up and we are ready to make it IoT enabled let's see how we are going to connect the system to the internet and make things work. Firstly, we need to connect Raspberry Pi to the devices, which we want to control using the IoT technology. So go ahead and use the following diagram to make the connection:

Once you have set up all the components, let's go ahead and upload the following code:

import time
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
import RPi.gpio as gpio
pir = 23
gpio.setmode(gpio.BCM)
gpio.setup(pir, gpio.IN)
client = mqtt.Client()
broker="broker.hivemq.com"
port = 1883
pub_topic = "IntruderDetector_Home"
def SendData():
  client.publish(pub_topic,"WARNING : SOMEONE DETECTED AT YOUR PLACE")

def on_connect(client, userdata, flag,rc):
  print("connection returned" + str(rc))
SendData()
while True:
  client.connect(broker,port)
  client.on_connect = on_connect
if gpio.output(pir) == gpio.HIGH :
    SendData()
  client.loop_forever...
