Internet of Things with Intel Galileo

This book starts by teaching you the essentials of the Intel Galileo board, its components, how to wire it, and how to use it safely. The book will teach you how to use and combine simple sensors to build more complex connected objects with the help of an Internet connection.

Employ the Intel Galileo board to design a world of smarter technology for your home

About This Book

Discover some of Galileo's best development options using Arduino and Node.js
Build complex projects in the field of Internet of Things and integrate with IoT platforms
A step-by-step guide that takes you from the basics of IoT to developing full fledged systems that can be put into daily use

Who This Book Is For

This book employs an incremental, step-by-step approach to get you familiarized with everything from the basic terms, board components, and development environments to developing real projects. Each project will demonstrate how to use specific board components and tools. Both Galileo and Galileo Gen 2 are covered in this book.
