Take your first steps with the Raspberry Pi Pico and take on exciting projects using CircuitPython, MicroPython, and PicoKey FeaturesMake the most of the Raspberry Pi Pico—a low-cost microcontroller that is primed for innovationWork with easy-to-follow examples and learn how to interface and program a Raspberry Pi PicoWork on fun projects, right from home automation to building a seven-segment display to tracking air qualityBook DescriptionThe Raspberry Pi Pico is the latest addition to the Raspberry Pi family of products. Introduced by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, based on their RP2040 chip, it is a tiny, fast microcontroller that packs enough punch to power an extensive range of applications. Raspberry Pi Pico DIY Workshop will help you get started with your own Pico and leverage its features to develop innovative products.This book begins with an introduction to the Raspberry Pi Pico, giving you a thorough understanding of the RP2040's peripherals and different development boards for the Pico designed and manufactured by various organizations. You'll explore add-on hardware and programming language options available for the Pico. Next, you'll focus on practical skills, starting with a simple LED blinking project and building up to a giant seven-segment display, while working with application examples such as citizen science displays, digital health, and robots. You'll also work on exciting projects around gardening, building a weather station, tracking air quality, hacking your personal health, and building a robot, along with discovering tips and tricks to give you the confidence needed to make the best use of RP2040.By the end of this Raspberry Pi book, you'll have built a solid foundation in product development using the RP2040, acquired a skillset crucial for embedded device development, and have a robot that you built yourself.What you will learnUnderstand the RP2040 s peripherals and apply them in the real worldFind out about the programming languages that can be used to program the RP2040Delve into the applications of serial interfaces available on the PicoDiscover add-on hardware available for the RP2040Explore different development board variants for the Raspberry Pi PicoDiscover tips and tricks for seamless product development with the PicoWho this book is forThis book is for students, teachers, engineers, scientists, artists, and tech enthusiasts who want to develop embedded systems that drive cost-effective automation, IoT, robotics, medical devices, and art projects. If you consider yourself a maker and would like to learn how to use the Raspberry Pi Pico, then this book is for you. Familiarity with Python programming, MicroPython, CircuitPython, embedded hardware, and peripherals is helpful but not mandatory to get the most out of this book.

Build clever, collaborative, and powerful automation systems with the Raspberry Pi and Python.Key FeaturesCreate your own Pi-Rover or Pi-Hexipod robotsDevelop practical applications in Python using Raspberry PiBuild your own Jarvis, a highly advanced computerized AIBook DescriptionThis 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 FernandesPython Programming with Raspberry Pi by Sai Yamanoor, Srihari YamanoorPython Robotics Projects by Prof. Diwakar VaishWhat you will learnBuild text classifiers and predict sentiment in words with the Tkinter libraryDevelop human face detection and recognition systemsCreate a neural network module for optical character recognitionBuild a mobile robot using the Raspberry Pi as a controllerUnderstand how to interface sensors, actuators, and LED displays workApply machine learning techniques to your modelsInterface your robots with BluetoothWho this book is forThis Learning Path is specially designed for Python developers who want to take their skills to the next level by creating robots that can enhance people's lives. Familiarity with Python and electronics will aid understanding the concepts in this Learning Path.

Develop a comprehensive understanding of IoT product development using ESP32 microcontrollers. This book takes readers on a journey from sensor interface example to an ESP32-based product example where we discuss all aspects of a product including rapid prototyping, cloud interface, product provision, and device fleet management.We will start with an introduction to the ESP32 microcontroller series and discuss programming language options for the ESP32 platform. Next, we explore publishing sensor data to the cloud using the ESP32. This is followed by a review of using the ESP32 to pull data from a public source and display it using a visual aid.The next few chapters demonstrate the construction of a low-cost Bluetooth sensor node using the ESP32, data aggregation with the ESP32, where collect and publish data aggregated from low-power radio networks, and the development of edge devices using the ESP32.The final chapter shows how to build an ESP32-enabled product that publishes data to the cloud, giving you confidence to start building on your own. What You Will Learn·        Learn about the rich and powerful features of the ESP32 family of microcontrollers·        Get a thorough idea of rapid prototyping tools and techniques for IoT product development·        Understand the various communication protocols and standards available for IoT product development Who Is This Book ForReaders with some experience with electronics and at least one programming language will be able to make the most of this book.
