Bob IoT project – Learning IoT with Raspberry Pi

Posted July 4, 2017

Bob-IOT is my test project for learning to work with IOT tools and applications. I’ve started with a Raspberry Pi after attending a workshop by @Codefoster. That workshop serves as the core of this project.

Setup

I had a lot of problems getting a good setup of the software on my Raspberry Pi, including NodeJS. These instructions are a conglomerations from various sources. Note that my intent is to access my Raspberry Pi remotely, so I have chosen not to have a desktop UI and assume all access is through SSH. Setup is based partially on the instructions from Codefoster’s IOT Workshop instructions.

Hardware

Raspberry Pi 3 B
4 GB SD Card
Network cable
Micro USB cable (for power)

Software

Raspbian Jessie Lite – Version June 2017 – Kernel 4.9 – Download from Raspberrypi.org/downloads
Etcher – Download from etcher.io
