Python Programming Recipes for IoT Applications

The book comprehensively covers the most important applications of the internet of things (IoT) using Python programming on Raspberry pi, Micropython Py Board, and NVIDIA Jetson Board. The authors have used an immersive ‘hands-on’ approach to help readers gain expertise in developing working code for real-world IoT applications. The book focuses on industry-standard embedded platforms for IoT applications. It also gives a glimpse of python programming and setup configuration of these embedded platforms. The later chapter highlights basic interface applications with Raspberry Pi. Exclusive advanced IoT applications on the Micropython Pyboard are also covered. The last two chapters deal with the NVIDIA Jetson Nano board programming for machine learning applications with FoG/cloud computing.

The various IoT applications with different embedded platforms in this volume are best-suited for undergraduate/postgraduate students and researchers who want to get exposed to python programming for IoT applications. This book will enable readers to design their own embedded IoT products.
