Raspberry Pi IoT In C Using Linux Drivers, 2nd Ed (I/O Press)
Wednesday, 31 January 2024

Pi OS, the Raspberry Pi’s operating system is Linux based and Linux drivers are available for many off-the-shelf IoT devices. These provide a very easy-to-use, high-level way of working, but there is very little documentation to help you get started. In this second edition Harry Fairhead explains the principles so that you can tackle new devices and he also guides you through using external hardware via standard Linux drivers on the full range of Raspberry Pis, now including the Pi 5 and the Pi Zero 2W.

Raspberry Pi IoT In C, 3rd Ed (I/O Press)
Wednesday, 24 January 2024

This book shows how to put the Raspberry Pi to good use in IoT by combining expertise in electronics and programming.  Harry Fairhead shows how to work directly with the hardware using the Raspberry Pi's GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) to connect with off-the-shelf sensors. This 3rd Edition was prompted by the arrival of the Pi 5, and the book looks at getting started with an IoT project with the Pi 5, the use of the Linux GPIO driver, and accessing the Pi 5’s registers directly. The Pi Zero 2W is also covered for the first time, looking at how this much faster, quad-core, version of the Pi Zero W is an excellent choice for IoT projects.
