eBook 1:

C Programming on Raspberry Pi: Develop innovative hardware-based projects in C

The Raspberry Pi has traditionally been programmed using Python. This powerful language may be unfamiliar to many programmers. C, on the other hand, is perhaps the most commonly used programming language, and all embedded microcontrollers can be programmed using it.

The C language is taught in most technical colleges and universities, and almost all engineering students are familiar with using it in their projects. This book is about using the Raspberry Pi with C to develop a range of hardware-based projects. Two of the most popular C libraries, wiringPi and pigpio, are used.

The book starts with an introduction to C, and most students and newcomers will find this chapter invaluable. Many projects are provided in the book, including using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to establish communication with smartphones.

Many sensor and hardware-based projects are included. Both wiringPi and pigpio libraries are used in all projects. Complete program listings are given with full explanations. All projects have been fully tested and worked.

The following hardware-based projects are provided in the book:

• Using sensors
• Using LCDs
• I²C and SPI buses
• Serial communication
• Multitasking
• External and timer interrupts
• Using Wi-Fi
• Webservers
• Communicating with smartphones
• Using Bluetooth
• Sending data to the cloud
• Readers can download and use these programs in their projects. Alternatively, they can customize them to suit their applications.

MIT App Inventor Projects: 50+ Android Apps with Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and Arduino

This book is about developing apps for Android-compatible mobile devices using the MIT App Inventor online development environment. MIT App Inventor projects can be in either standalone mode or use an external processor. In standalone mode, the developed application runs only on the mobile device (e.g., Android). In external processor-based applications, the mobile device communicates with an external microcontroller-based processor, such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, etc.

In this book, many tested and fully working projects are given both in standalone mode and using an external processor. Full design steps, block programs, circuit diagrams, QR code, and full program listings are given for all projects.

The projects developed in this book include:

• Using the text-to-speech component
• Intonating a received SMS message
• Sending SMS messages
• Making telephone calls using a contacts list
• Using the GPS and pinpointing our location on a map
• Speech recognition and speech translation to another language
• Controlling multiple relays by speech commands
• Projects for the Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and Arduino using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
• MIT APP Inventor and Node-RED projects for the Raspberry Pi

eBook 3:

Master your Raspberry Pi in 30 days: A step-by-step guide for beginners on Raspberry Pi

This book is a challenge you take to lead you from the beginning toward mastering the Raspberry Pi device.

The course is divided into 30 steps. The idea is to take one little step a day to be an expert in 30 days.

In each step, you discover a new concept, go through the details, and then go to practice.

Each day is a new, progressive step toward your goal.

In the beginning, you learn more about the hardware, and then you will learn how to use the operating system (Raspbian).

The second part of the book is more about step-by-step projects, programming, and other operating systems and software.

So, it's a book for all audiences:

• If you don't know anything yet, you can read the book in order.
• If you already have one based on Raspberry Pi or Linux, some chapters can be browsed quickly.
• And even if you already have a correct level, you will inevitably find information there to go even further.

Exploring Raspberry Pi: Interfacing to the Real World with Embedded Linux (1 ed)

Exploring Raspberry Pi is the innovator's guide to bringing Raspberry Pi to life. This book favors engineering principles over a ‘recipe' approach to giving you the skills you need to design and build your own projects. You'll understand the fundamental principles in a way that transfers to any type of electronics, electronic modules, or external peripherals, using a “learning by doing” approach that caters to both beginners and experts. The book begins with basic Linux and programming skills and helps you stock your inventory with common parts and supplies. Next, you'll learn how to make parts work together to achieve the goals of your project, no matter what type of components you use. The companion website provides a full repository that structures all of the code and scripts, along with links to video tutorials and supplementary content that takes you deeper into your project.

The Raspberry Pi's most famous feature is its adaptability. It can be used for thousands of electronic applications, and using the Linux OS expands the functionality even more. This book helps you get the most from your Raspberry Pi, but it also gives you the fundamental engineering skills you need to incorporate electronics into any project.

• Develop the Linux and programming skills you need to build basic applications.
• Build your inventory of parts so you can always “make it work.”
• Understand interfacing, controlling, and communicating with almost any component.
• Explore advanced applications with video, audio, real-world interactions, and more.
