Introduction to IoT Using Raspberry Pi

• A basic understanding of embedded Linux systems
• Experience with setting up and using the Raspberry Pi
• Experience with programming the Raspberry Pi using Python

Internet of Things (IoT) is a network infrastructure that connects physical objects and software applications wirelessly, allowing them to communicate with each other and exchange data via network communications, cloud computing, and data capture.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn the fundamentals of IoT as they step through the creation of an IoT sensor system using the Raspberry Pi.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles of IoT, including IoT components and communication techniques
• Learn how to set up the Raspberry Pi specifically for IoT applications
• Build and deploy their own IoT Sensor System

Audience

• Hobbyists
• Hardware/software engineers and technicians
• Technical persons in all industries
• Beginner developers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Note

• Raspberry Pi supports various operating systems and programming languages. This course will use Linux-based Raspbian as the operating system and Python as the programming language. To request a specific setup, please contact us to arrange.
• Participants are responsible for purchasing the Raspberry Pi hardware and components.
