Overview
- Demonstrates how to build sensor networks with inexpensive components with multiple, detailed projects readers can implement themselves
- Illustrates how to use Python and MicroPython to build sensor nodes versus using more complicated languages and commands
- Combines example projects and just enough academic principles to make sensor networks accessible for all readers

About this book
You'll review the different types of sensors and sensor networks, along with new technology, including how to build a simple XBee network. You'll then walk through building an sensor nodes on the XBee, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino, and also learn how to collect data from multiple sensor nodes. The book also explores different ways to store sensor data, including writing to an SD card, sending data to the cloud, and setting up a Raspberry Pi MySQL server to host your data. You'll even learn how to connect to and interact with a MySQL database server directly from an Arduino! Finally you'll see how to put it all together by connecting your sensor nodes to your new Raspberry Pi database server.
If you want to see how well XBee, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino can get along, especially to create a sensor network, then Beginning Sensor Networks with XBee, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino is just the book you need.
What You'll Learn
- Code your sensor nodes with Python and MicroPython
- Work with new XBee 3 modules
- Host your data on Raspberry Pi
- Get started with MySQL
- Create sophisticated sensor networks
Who This Book Is For
Those interested in building or experimenting with sensor networks and IoT solutions, including those with little or no programming experience. A secondary target includes readers interested in using XBee modules with Raspberry Pi and Arduino, those interested in controlling XBee modules with MicroPython.
