Raspberry Pi IoT In Python Using Linux Drivers, 2nd Edition
The Raspberry Pi makes an ideal match for the Internet of Things. To put it to good use in IoT you need two areas of expertise, electronics and programming, and this presents a barrier to getting started. However, there is an overlooked route that can provide a shortcut. Pi OS, the Raspberry Pi's operating system, is Linux- based and Linux drivers are available for many off-the-shelf IoT devices. Using Linux drivers saves the effort of implementing low-level code and has the advantage of working the same on all versions of the Pi, including the recently launched Pi 5 which isn't hardware compatible with earlier versions. This Second Edition has been updated to cover the Pi 5 and also the Pi Zero 2W, which is an ideal candidate for use in IoT projects. It has also been updated to use the latest versions of Pi OS, Bullseye and Bookworm. Throughout this book you will find a practical approach to understanding electronic circuits and datasheets and translating this to code, specifically using Python and VS Code. The first IoT program anyone writes is "Blinky" to flash an LED and this book is no exception, but it might not be quite what you expect. Instead of using a GPIO line driver, it uses the Linux LED driver. The GPIO isn't left out, however, as the next three chapters focus on its use via the GPIO character driver, which replaces the old, but very common, sysfs GPIO driver. This is the way to do modern GPIO. A key component in any look at Linux and its relationship to hardware is the relatively new Device Tree. While most accounts of this resource are aimed at device driver writers, this one is aimed at device driver users and to this end we look at several devices, including the DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor. After a brief detour into some basic electronics, we see how Pulse Width Modulation is supported via a driver. From here we tackle the two standard buses, I2C and SPI, first going through the basics and then looking at the two attempts to impose a higher organization, the hardware monitoring system, hwmon, and Industrial I/O, IIO. The 1-Wire bus is also covered in detail. The final chapter takes things to the next level and considers creating your own custom overlays by writing fragments to the device tree. Harry Fairhead's other books include Applying C For The IoT With Linux; Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico/W, 2nd Ed, Raspberry Pi IoT in C, 3rd Ed, Raspberry Pi IoT in C Using Linux Drivers, 2nd Ed, Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico/W, 2nd Ed and Programming the ESP32 in MicroPython. Mike James is the author of the Programmer's Python: Something Completely Different series of books and several other programming and computer science titles in the I Programmer Library.
Raspberry Pi IoT In Python Using Linux Drivers
The Raspberry Pi makes an ideal match for the Internet of Things. To put it to good use in IoT you need two areas of expertise, electronics and programming, and this presents a barrier to getting started. However, there is an overlooked route that can provide a shortcut. Pi OS, the Raspberry Pi's operating system, is Linux- based and Linux drivers are available for many off-the-shelf IoT devices. These provide a very easy-to-use, high-level, way of working. The problem that this book solves is that there is very little documentation to help you get started. Throughout this book you will find a practical approach to understanding electronic circuits and datasheets and translating this to code, specifically using Python. Python is an excellent language for learning about the IoT or physical computing. It might not be as fast as C, but it is much easier to use for complex data processing. The emphasis in this book is on understanding how things work so that you can apply your new knowledge to your own projects. You can use any Python development system that you know, but the programs in the book have been developed using Visual Studio Code and its remote development facilities. The first IoT program anyone writes is "Blinky" to flash an LED and this book is no exception, but it might not be quite what you expect. Instead of using a GPIO line, it uses the Linux LED driver - no hardware and no fuss. The GPIO isn't left out, however, as the next three chapters focus on its use via the new GPIO character driver, which replaces the old and very common sysfs GPIO driver. This is the way to do modern GPIO. A key component in any look at Linux and its relationship to hardware is the relatively new Device Tree. While most accounts of this resource are aimed at device driver writers, this one is aimed at device driver users and to this end we look at several devices, including the DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor. After a brief detour into some basic electronics, we see how Pulse Width Modulation is supported via a driver. From here we tackle the two standard buses, I2C and SPI, first going through the basics and then looking at the two attempts to impose a higher organization, the hardware monitoring system, Hwmon, and Industrial I/O, IIO. The third standard bus, although generally not supported in hardware, is the 1-Wire bus. This is covered in detail and even includes an introduction to using Netlink, which uses the sockets API to send messages to and from the kernel to access the driver. The final chapter takes things to the next level and considers creating your own custom overlays by writing fragments to the device tree. This is the second title jointly authored by Harry Fairhead and Mike James and can be seen as the alternative approach to that outlined in Raspberry Pi IoT In Python Using GPIO Zero. For both books, Harry brings his expertise in electronics and the IoT and Mike contributes the Python code. Harry Fairhead is the author of other IoT-related titles including Raspberry Pi IoT in C, Second Edition; Micro: bit IoT in C, Second Edition; Applying C For The IoT With Linux and Fundamental C: Getting Closer To The Machine. Mike James is the author of Programmer's Python: Everything is an Object and other programming and computer science titles in the I Programmer Library.
Raspberry Pi IoT In Python Using GPIO Zero, 2nd Edition
The Raspberry Pi makes an ideal match for the Internet of Things. But to put it to good use in IoT you need two areas of expertise, electronics and programming and because of the way hardware and software engineering tend to occupy separate niches, you may need help with combining the two which is what this book sets out to do. Python is an excellent language for learning about physical computing. It might not be as fast as C, but it is much easier to use for complex data processing. One reason for Python's popularity is its wealth of supporting libraries and there are several for interfacing hardware. The GPIO Zero library is the official way to use Python with the GPIO and other devices and this book looks at how to use it to interface to fundamental IoT devices - from LEDs and buzzers to servos and stepper motors and several off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi add-ons. This revised second edition had been expanded to cover all the current Raspberry Pis including the latest, the Pi 5, and the Pi Zero 2W which, with its WiFi capability and being a quad-core device, is an ideal device for IoT projects. It has also been updated to cover the latest version of the GPIO Zero library, which is both the library recommended by Raspberry Pi and the only one that works with the Pi 5. The emphasis in this book is about using and understanding the hardware and GPIO Zero. It not only shows you how to "follow the beaten track", but how to create your own tracks. While it isn't a project book, many of the code examples described are part way to projects and all of the devices and techniques described can be used to create practical projects. Similarly while it doesn't teach you the whole of Python, it does bring you up to speed in the aspects of the language needed for interfacing with hardware. Harry Fairhead has worked with microprocessors, and electronics in general, for many years and is an enthusiastic proponent of the IoT. He is the author of Raspberry Pi IoT in C, which has recently been republished in its third edition, and Raspberry Pi IoT in C Using Linux Drivers, now in its second edition. Mike James is the co-author Raspberry Pi IoT in Python Using Linux Drivers, Second Edition. He is also the author of the Programmer's Python: Something Completely Different series of books.
