This book presents how to program Single Board Computers (SBCs) for Internet of Things (IoT) rapid prototyping with popular tools such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Beagle Bone, and NXP boards. The book provides novel programs to solve new technological real-time problems. The author addresses programming, PCB design and Mechanical Cad design all in single volume, easing learners into incorporating their ideas as prototype. The aim of the book is to provide programming, sensors interfacing, PCB design, and Mechanical Cad design to and create rapid prototyping. The author presents the methodologies of rapid prototyping with KiCAD design and Catia software, used to create ready to mount solutions. The book covers scripting- based and drag/drop- based programming for different problems and data gathering approach.
