The examples were interactive and had little in the way of full automation. In this discussion, I would like to focus on automating processes. These are tasks that we will define and schedule to run at times we specify. The purpose of this exercise is to establish a foundation for the RPi to run tasks,…
This years instruction will cover these concepts throughout the following three quarters. Meshed Sensors with Raspberry PI, Arduino, and XBee Bluetooth LE and Augmented reality Computer Vision with Arduino and Kinect OpenCV and CV Metrics Raspberry PI Mashups and Scraping Mashups and Scraping with Google Docs and CartoDB Course work and assignments will be instruction orientated, meaning the student is the teacher. Lessons can utilize any media format, provided they follow a structured flow. The structure will need to include the following: Introduction of the topic and…
