Course Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly transforming how we interact with the physical world, and Raspberry Pi 4 is a powerful, affordable, and versatile device at the heart of many IoT projects. This course explores the synergy between Raspberry Pi 4 and IoT, offering learners hands-on experience with real-world applications. Whether you're a hobbyist, student, or budding IoT developer, learning to integrate sensors, cloud platforms, and automation using Raspberry Pi 4 is essential for staying ahead in today’s tech-driven environment.

This course begins with an introduction to the Raspberry Pi 4, covering hardware essentials and initial setup. It moves on to foundational IoT concepts, including architecture, communication protocols, and security. Learners then explore no-code solutions using Cayenne, implementing sensor-actuator projects and a home security system. The course also introduces ThingSpeak for MQTT-based IoT projects and ends with a weather station capstone project integrating IFTTT for automation.

By the end of the course, learners gain hands-on experience with Raspberry Pi 4 and IoT cloud platforms, building full-fledged, no-code IoT applications from scratch.
