Overview of this book

This book is designed to introduce you to IoT and Raspberry Pi 3. It will help you create interesting projects, such as setting up a weather station and measuring temperature and humidity using sensors; it will also show you how to send sensor data to cloud for visualization in real-time. Then we shift our focus to leveraging IoT for accomplishing complex tasks, such as facial recognition using the Raspberry Pi camera module, AWS Rekognition, and the AWS S3 service. Furthermore, you will master security aspects by building a security surveillance system to protect your premises from intruders using Raspberry Pi, a camera, motion sensors, and AWS Cloud. We'll also create a real-world project by building a Wi-Fi – controlled robot car with Raspberry Pi using a motor driver circuit, DC motor, and a web application. This book is a must-have as it provides a practical overview of IoT’s existing architectures, communication protocols, and security threats at the software and hardware levels—security being the most important aspect of IoT.

Summary

Finally, we come to the end of this chapter and we have built our own IoT-enabled robotic car which can be controlled remotely. The car has all the basic moves like forward motion, backward motion, and it is also capable of taking turns. We also learnt about PWM and how it helps to control the speed of an analog DC motor using digital signal.

In Chapter 9, Security in IoT, we will study the most important aspect of IoT security of an IoT ecosystem. Without a secure and protected ecosystem our services and products will be vulnerable to hacking and cyber-attacks which can cause huge losses to people and business. So let's get ready to secure your IoT ecosystem in Chapter 9, Security in IoT.
