The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W GO! Book

The core of the book explains the use of the RaspberryPiZero2W running the Python programming language, always in simple terms and backed by many tested and working example projects. On part of the reader, familiarity with the Python programming language and some experience with one of the RaspberryPi computers will prove helpful. Although previous electronics experience is not required, some knowledge of basic electronics is beneficial, especially when venturing out to modify the projects for your own applications.

Over 30 tested and working hardware-based projects are given in the book, covering the use of Wi-Fi, communication with smartphones and with a RaspberryPiPicoW computer. Additionally, there are Bluetooth projects including elementary communication with smartphones and with the popular ArduinoUno. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are key features of the RaspberryPiZero2W.

Some of the topics covered in the book are:

• Raspberry Pi OS installation on an SDcard
• Python program creation and execution on the RaspberryPiZero2W
• Software-only examples of Python running on the RaspberryPiZero2W
• Hardware-based projects including LCD and SenseHAT interfacing
• UDP and TCP Wi-Fi based projects for smartphone communication
• UDP-based project for RaspberryPiPicoW communication
• Flask-based webserver project
• Cloud storage of captured temperature, humidity, and pressure data
• TFT projects
• Node-RED projects
• Interfacing to Alexa
• MQTT projects
• Bluetooth-based projects for smartphone and ArduinoUno communications
