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 headless Raspberry Pi

Refer to the following steps:

Download the Raspbian Lite OS from Raspberry Pi's website at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/.
Once we have the OS image downloaded, we write it to the SD card using a laptop/desktop. Follow the instructions given at: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md for the OS of your laptop/desktop.
To enable SSH on Raspberry Pi, create an empty file with the name ssh without any extension. Place this file in the root partition of the SD card.

Take out the SD card and insert it into Raspberry Pi. Connect your Ethernet cable from the router to Pi to provide an internet connection and power it up.
To connect to Pi using SSH, we need tools such as PuTTY and Advanced IP Scanner. Download and install both the tools from the following links:
