- About the Authors
This book is a project-based guide designed to bridge the gap between basic electronics and modern intelligent systems. The Raspberry Pi has transformed physical computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and edge artificial intelligence by making powerful computing accessible to everyone.
Along with the origins, setup, and troubleshooting of the Raspberry Pi, this book guides you through Linux terminal navigation, file management, and beginner-friendly Python programming. Readers learn to configure Raspberry Pi OS and develop essential Linux command-line skills for working with Raspberry Pi-based systems. You will also learn Python programming for hardware automation and device control. With these fundamentals in place, the focus shifts to hardware interfacing. You will learn to interface with real-world sensors such as the BME280 for environmental monitoring, ultrasonic sensors for distance measurement, and LDRs for light detection.
By the end of this book, you will have the practical skills to build real-world electronics and IoT projects, develop computer vision applications, and deploy AI solutions on the Raspberry Pi.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
● Understand the Raspberry Pi ecosystem and Linux fundamentals.
● Write Python programs to control hardware and automate tasks.
● Interface real-world sensors such as BME280, ultrasonic, and LDR.
● Build computer vision applications using OpenCV and Python.
● Deploy AI models on Raspberry Pi using the AI HAT+.
● Design complete IoT and smart home automation systems.
