Beginning Sensor Networks with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

Introduction

The world of microcontrollers and increasingly capable and popular small computing platforms is enabling many more people to learn, experience, and complete projects that would previously have required dedicated (and expensive) hardware. Rather than purchase a commercial or made-for-consumers kit, enterprising developers can now build their own solutions to meet their needs. Sensor networks are just one example of how these small, powerful, and inexpensive components have made it possible for anyone with a moderate skill set to build their own sensor network.

This book presents a beginner’s guide to sensor networks. I cover topics including what types of sensors exist, how they communicate their values (observations or events), ...
