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.

Setting up Raspberry Pi

We will use the following items to complete the setup:

  • A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
  • A monitor for display, preferably with HDMI connectivity. If your monitor supports only VGA, you can use a VGA to HDMI converter.
  • A keyboard and mouse that can be connected to Pi through USB.
  • A MicroSD card and card reader. Since Pi doesn't have onboard storage, we will install the OS on the SD card itself, so at least 8 GB is preferable.
  • A power supply: Raspberry Pi is powered by micro USB. Use a good adapter with a 2.5 A rating.

If you do not have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, you can still set up using a headless approach and move to the next topic directly. For now, let's start by setting up Pi using a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

Install the OS on your SD card. We will install the Raspbian version of the OS here:
