Dieses Buch richtet sich an jeden, der seinen Raspberry Pi mit dem Windows 10 IoT Core betreiben will. Wie das geht, zeigt der Autor mit dem Entwicklungssystem Visual Studio und Visual Basic als Programmiersprache. Inzwischen gibt es eine große Auswahl an kleinen Sensor-Modulen, die problemlos an den Raspberry Pi angeschlossen werden können – auch wenn sie mitunter für andere Systeme beworben werden, wie etwa für den Arduino. Nicht ohne Grund: Einplatinencomputer sind ohne zusätzliche Peripherie für Elektroniker ziemlich nutzlos. Sie stellen zwar die Rechenleistung und ein Betriebssystem bereit, können aber so gut wie gar nicht mit ihrer Umgebung kommunizieren. Damit ein Computer auch Einfluss auf seine Umwelt nehmen kann, sind Sensoren und Aktoren erforderlich, die von einer Software gesteuert werden, die man selber erstellen kann. Als Einstieg in die Materie wird in diesem Buch auf das auch bei Elektor erhältliche 37 Module umfassende Sensor-Kit zurückgegriffen. In diesem populären Set sind die Sensoren auf einer kleinen Platine montiert und mit Steckverbindern ausgestattet, was den Anschluss via Breadboard oder Drahtbrücken vereinfacht. Mit den auch für Einsteiger einfach anzuwendenden Sensor-Modulen lassen sich schnell erste Erfolge erzielen, ohne dass man groß in die Materie der Elektronik einsteigen muss. Die Funktionsweise und Beschaltung der einzelnen Sensoren wird ausführlich erklärt und ihre Verwendung durch die gut dokumentierten Visual Basic-Beispielprogramme leicht nachvollziehbar gemacht.

Design IoT Projects with Raspberry Pi, Arduino and ESP32 The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a major application area for embedded systems. As a result, more and more people are becoming interested in learning about embedded design and programming. Technical colleges and universities are moving away from legacy 8 and 16-bit microcontrollers and are introducing 32-bit embedded microcontrollers to their curriculums. Many IoT applications demand precision, high processing power, and low power consumption. Produced by IBM, Node-RED is an open-source visual editor for wiring the Internet of Things. Node-RED comes with a large number of nodes to handle a multitude of tasks. The required nodes are selected and joined together to perform a particular task. Node-RED is based on flow type programming where nodes are configured and joined together to form an application program. There are nodes for performing complex tasks, including web access, Twitter, E-mail, HTTP, Bluetooth, MQTT, controlling GPIO ports, etc. One particularly nice aspect of Node-RED is that the programmer does not need to learn how to write complex programs. For example, an email can be sent by simply joining nodes together and writing only a few lines of code. The aim of this book is to teach how Node-RED can be used in projects. The main hardware platform used with most of the projects in this book is Raspberry Pi 4. Chapters are included to show how Node-RED can be also be used with Arduino Uno, ESP32 DevKitC, and the ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller development boards.

AI Projects for the Raspberry Pi with the AI HAT+ Edge AI is transforming everyday devices by putting intelligence where it matters most: directly inside the hardware. With on-device inference, a camera can recognize a visitor instantly, a phone can translate speech without streaming audio to the cloud, and a wearable can detect anomalies in real time—fast, private, and reliable even when the network disappears. This book is your practical guide to building exactly those kinds of systems with the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ and the Hailo-8L accelerator. You’ll start with clear foundations: core AI and machine-learning concepts, how neural networks work, and what truly distinguishes Edge AI from cloud AI—plus an honest look at ethical considerations and future impacts. Then it’s straight to hands-on physical computing. Step by step, you’ll set up Raspberry Pi OS, power and cooling, and develop in Python using the Thonny IDE. You’ll learn GPIO basics with lights and servos, mount the AI HAT+ hardware, install and verify the Hailo software stack, and connect the right camera—official modules or USB webcams, even multiple cameras. From your first pipeline to real projects, you’ll run person detection, pose estimation, segmentation, and depth estimation, then level up with YOLO object detection: smart alerts, guest counters, and custom extensions. You’ll even connect vision to motion by combining gesture recognition with servo-driven mechanisms, including a robotic arm. With troubleshooting tips, hardware essentials, and a practical Python refresher, this book turns Edge AI from buzzword into buildable reality.
