AGENDA FOR THIS SHORT TALK

• What is AWS IoT? • Why is the Raspberry Pi a good option for IoT prototyping? • Things you might (will) need • Setting up • Examples + demos • Further reading

AWS IoT: simplify and accelerate IoT development

Amazon SNS Mobile Push

and Notifications

Amazon DynamoDB

Predictable and Scalable NoSQL

Data Store

AWS Lambda Run Code in

Response to Events

Amazon Redshift Petabyte-Scale

Data Warehouse

…and more

Amazon API Gateway

Build, Deploy, & Manage APIs

Amazon Kinesis Streaming Analytics

Amazon Cognito User Identity and

Data Synchronization

AWS IoT Connect Devices to

the Cloud

AWS IoT

“Securely connect one or one billion devices to AWS, so they can interact with applications and other devices”

AWS IoT

WHY THE PI?

• Full Linux environment • Supports all AWS IoT SDKs • Run git directly on the device • Sync/Deploy code with github

• Lots of electronics kits/hats available • LoRaNET • GPS • Cellular Radio

HARDWARE YOU WILL (& MIGHT) NEED

• A Raspberry Pi

• Electronics Kit • Try the SunFounder 37 modules Sensor Kit v2.0 for

Raspberry Pi 3, 2, Model B+ with 40-Pin GPIO Extension Board & Jump Wires

• http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B014PF05ZA • Example tutorial

• Raspberry Pi Sense Hat (optional fun) • https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/sense-hat/

SETTING UP FOR GPIO/SENSE HAT

Your own electronics/sensor build C (for embedded C)

http://wiringpi.com Python Wrapper Module for WiringPI

https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Python

For the Sense Hat Python Module

https://github.com/RPi-Distro/python-sense-hat

SETTING UP FOR AWS IOT

Use the AWS Console to create your device

Download the required crypto materials & save the C header file contents with your endpoint, cert, and key details

Download & set up your chosen AWS IoT SDK Get them at : https://aws.amazon.com/iot/sdk/

Building the C SDK on the Raspberry Pi requires the CppUTest library from: https://github.com/cpputest/cpputest/releases/tag/v3.6

Start with the sample applications that come SDKs
