Learn to interface a DHT11 sensor with a Raspberry Pi by installing the Adafruit Python library, cloning the GitHub repo, and running a sample test on pin 14.
Push real-time temperature and humidity data from a Raspberry Pi with an Adafruit sensor into Firebase database using Python libraries, enabling Android and iOS app access.
Connect a webhost and database to store IoT temperature and humidity data, using REST APIs and Postman. Build endpoints for get, post, put, patch, and delete with PHP and MySQL.
This complete hands-on, step by step course is targeting the Raspberry Pi. Note that everything also works perfectly for Raspberry Pi 2 and 4 & 5 versions.
You don’t need any knowledge in programming, electronics, or anything else. To get started, you just need a computer to work from, and a Raspberry Pi board.
At the end of the course, you will have a strong foundation with your Raspberry Pi, and you will be able to start your own projects in no time.
Why this course?
You will know about IoT in depth.
You may be just getting started, or have already started to learn how to build projects with your Raspberry Pi. But knowing what to do first, and which path to follow can be quite hard and you may feel stuck.
The problem with most online resources for Raspberry Pi is that they focus on making you run existing programmes to make you feel like you’ve accomplished a lot, but in reality, you’ve just copied/pasted some random code and didn’t even scratch the surface. "Why" you should do that” is not involved. So, the next time you have to do something on your own, you feel stuck and too dependent on other people's code.
This course will focus on the “why” and make you much more autonomous with your Raspberry Pi so you will be able to start your own projects without having to desperately search for code to copy/paste on the Internet. My personal goal is to make you understand enough to get started in a short period of time, and make you think as a problem solver, with engineer-level thinking skills.
→ And how will we do that, you may ask?
Simple:
HANDS-ON.
STEP BY STEP.
NO COPY AND PASTE.
This course is not a course where you just download some code and run it. This is a course where you will truly understand how to write code and work with the different Raspberry Pi functionalities.
I will take the time to explain everything, step by step, even the basic things. I will write the code with you and explain why I write what I write. With the activities and final project, you will have even more opportunities to practice on your own, and you will make progress without even noticing it.
