Building Combined Arduino RaspberryPi Applications

Duration: 5 Days

Course Background

This course covers both practical RaspberryPi and RaspberryPi side programming of hybrid RaspberryPi-Arduino applications where a RaspberryPi device is used to extend both the reach and the capabilities of Arduino based smart sensors by interfacing them to RaspberryPi devices. The course covers the various methods for connecting to RaspberryPi devices such as Bluetooth, USB, P2P WiFi, and NFC and considers how Arduino devices with suitable peripherals (shields) can make use of these connection mechanisms. The course is a mixture of presentations, case studies and labs. The labs are partly cookbook and partly open ended.

This is a practical hands on course with the split between theory and practice being about 50% theory and 50% practice

Course Prerequisites and Target Audience

This course is aimed at reasonably experienced Arduino developers with a basic understanding of Android (Java) programming who wish to get up to speed with implementing Arduino applications that interface to the internet / cloud via an Android smart phone, tablet or embedded system.
