What is an IoT Device?

• A "Thing" in Internet of Things (IoT) can be any object that has a


unique identifier and which can send/receive data (including user
data) over a network (e.g., smart phone, smart TV, computer,
refrigerator, car, etc. ).

• IoT devices are connected to the Internet and send information


about themselves or about their surroundings (e.g., information
sensed by the connected sensors) over a network (to other devices or
servers/storage) or allow actuation upon the physical
entities/environment around them remotely.

IoT Device – Examples

• A home automation device that allows remote monitoring of the


status of appliances and controlling of appliances.
• An industrial machine which sends information about its operation
and health monitoring data to a server.
• A car which sends information about its location to a cloud-based
service.
• A wireless-enabled wearable device that measures data about a
person such as the number of steps walked and sends the data to a
cloud-based service.

Basic Building Blocks of an IoT Device

• Sensing
• Sensors can be either on-board the IoT device or attached to the device.
• Actuation
• IoT devices can have various types of actuators attached that allow actions to
be performed upon the physical entities in the vicinity of the device.
• Communication
• Communication modules are responsible for sending the collected data to
other devices or cloud-based servers/storage and receiving data from other
devices and commands from remote applications.
• Analysis and Processing
• Analysis and processing modules are responsible for making sense of the
collected data.

Exemplary Device: Raspberry Pi

• Raspberry Pi is a low-cost mini-computer with the physical size of a


credit card.
• Raspberry Pi runs various flavors of Linux and can perform almost all
the tasks that a normal desktop computer can do.
• Raspberry Pi also allows interfacing sensors and actuators through the
general purpose I/O pins.
• Since Raspberry Pi runs the Linux operating system, it supports
Python "out of the box".

Raspberry Pi Interfaces

• Serial
• The serial interface on Raspberry Pi has receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) pins
for communication with serial peripherals.
• SPI
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial data protocol used
for communicating with one or more peripheral devices.
• I2C
• The I2C interface pins on Raspberry Pi allow you to connect hardware
modules. I2C interface allows synchronous data transfer with just two pins –
SDA (data line) and SCL (clock line).

Raspberry Pi Example:
Interfacing LED and Switch with Raspberry Pi
from time import sleep
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

#Switch Pin
GPIO.setup(25, GPIO.IN)
#LED Pin
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT)
state=false

def toggleLED(pin):
state = not state
GPIO.output(pin, state)

while True:
try:
if (GPIO.input(25) == True):
toggleLED(pin)
sleep(.01)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
exit()
