Opis

The book provides an important foundation for understanding the Internet of Things by offering insight into common networking protocols from the microcontroller world and introducing important sensors and other devices, as well as their use and programming. All concepts shown are illustrated with practical circuit and programming examples from the authors' many years of experience. In addition, open libraries for controlling the devices presented in the book are available for readers to download from the publisher's home page. The second edition includes some new devices, especially in the area of networks, a more detailed description of the operating principles of some sensors as well as further tips and tricks for programming.

O autorze

This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
