Creating a Sensor to Measure Ambient Light

In the previous chapter, you learned how to create a Universal Windows Platform application and execute it on the Raspberry Pi. You also learned how to do basic I/O with your Arduino board and connected peripherals.

In this chapter, we'll focus more on how to build a real sensor firmware, and prepare it for use in the Internet of Things. The chapter covers:

  • Sampling
  • Error correction
  • Physical quantities
  • Basic statistics
  • Data persistence
