Learn the art of building enticing projects by unleashing the potential of Raspberry Pi 3 using Java

Raspberry Pi 3 Projects for Java Programmers

About This Book

• Explore the small yet powerful mini computer in order to run java applications
• Leverage Java libraries to build exciting projects on home automation, IoT, and Robotics by leveraging Java libraries
• Get acquainted with connecting electronic sensors to your Raspberry Pi 3 using Java APIs.

Who This Book Is For
The book is aimed at Java programmers who are eager to get their hands-on Raspberry Pi and build interesting projects using java. They have a very basic knowledge of Raspberry Pi.

What You Will Learn

• Use presence detection using the integrated bluetooth chip
• Automatic light switch using presence detection
• Use a centralized IoT service to publish data using RPC
• Control a robot by driving motors using PWM
• Create a small web service capable of performing actions on the Raspberry Pi and supply readings
• Image capture using Java together with the OpenCV framework

In Detail
Raspberry Pi is a small, low cost and yet very powerful development platform. It is used to interact with attached electronics by the use of it's GPIO pins for multiple use cases, mainly Home Automation and Robotics.

Our book is a project-based guide that will show you how to utilize the Raspberry Pi's GPIO with Java and how you can leverage this utilization with your knowledge of Java. You will start with installing and setting up the necessary hardware to create a seamless development platform. You will then straightaway start by building a project that will utilize light for presence detection. Next, you will program the application, capable of handling real time data using MQTT and utilize RPC to publish data to adafruit.io. Further, you will build a wireless robot on top of the zuma chassis with the Raspberry Pi as the main controller. Lastly, you will end the book with advanced projects that will help you to create a multi-purpose IoT controller along with building a security camera that will perform image capture and recognize faces with the help of notifications.

By the end of the book, you will be able to build your own real world usable projects not limited to Home Automation, IoT and/or Robotics utilizing logic, user and web interfaces.

Style and approach
The book will contain projects that ensure a java programmer gets started with building interesting projects using the small yet powerful Raspberry Pi 3. We will start with brushing up your Raspberry Pi skills followed by building 5-6 projects

What’s New in Google’s IoT Platform/Android Things? at Google I/O '17

What’s New in Google’s IoT Platform? Ubiquitous Computing at Google (Google I/O '17)
Google has a wide range of platforms and tools to support the Internet of Things and to bring about the vision of ubiquitous computing so users can interact with services wherever and whenever it makes sense for them. Come to this talk to learn about all of these initiatives at Google, including the Google Assistant, Android Things, Google Cloud, Android TV, Android Wear, and Android Auto. Learn more about how they all fit together as part of an ecosystem, which one is most appropriate for different types of developers and applications, and which talks you should be attending at Google I/O.

Developing for Android Things Using Android Studio (Google I/O '17)
Using Android Studio to develop apps for embedded devices is one of the strengths of the Android Things platform. In this session, demonstrate how easy it is to use Android Studio to quickly get started developing a new IoT project. You will learn how to build an app that interacts with low-level peripherals, deploy it to a developer board, and use the debugger to trace hardware-related issues.

Bringing Device Production to Everyone With Android Things (Google I/O '17)
Android Things is focused on enabling anyone to build professional, mass-market products on a trusted platform. In this session, you will learn about the steps and tools needed to go from your developer kit prototype to fabricating custom boards for your own product. Explore the costs and timelines involved in producing your designs in small and large quantities, and compare the benefits of working with vendors versus managing the process in-house.

Mount Raspberry Pi Camera Module to telescope (with sample video of the Moon)

This video show how to connect Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module V2 to telescope, with sample video of the Moon at the end of the video.


Parts:
- Raspberry Pi Camera Module (NoIR V2 shown in the video), with original lens removed.
Caution, removing the lens will void your warranty of the camera module.

- CCTV M12 (or S-mount) housing.
Plastic type, have to cut a little bit as shown:

Normally, the center-to-center distance of the mounting holes is 20mm or 22mm, it cannot be installed on Raspberry Pi Camera Module directly. I mount it with one screw on one hole, and fix it with cable tie on the another hole.

- M12 adapter for telescope.
May be it's the most difficult find parts. It have to mach with your telescope.

- Telescope
It's a 10+ years old small telescope (Bosma D = 90mm / f = 1200mm f/13.3)

reminder:
Saturn is approaching opposite the Sun, at 15 Jun 2017.

This optimal positioning occurs when Saturn is almost directly opposite the Sun in the sky. Since the Sun reaches its greatest distance below the horizon at midnight, the point opposite to it is highest in the sky at the same time.

At around the same time that Saturn passes opposition, it also makes its closest approach to the Earth – termed its perigee – making it appear at its brightest and largest.

Scan Raspberry Pi IP address from network neighbor computer, by MAC

Raspberry Pi Foundation has their own range of MAC addresses B8-27-EB-00-00-00 to B8-27-EB-FF-FF-FF. You can check it at http://hwaddress.com/company/raspberry-pi-foundation

Such that we can scan neighbor with MAC address start with B8-27-EB, using arp command.

arp (stands for Address Resolution Protocol) is used to find the address of a network neighbor for a given IPv4 address.

From Linux Terminal:
$ arp -a | grep b8:27:eb

or from Windows DOS prompt (Now you can run most Linux command on Bash on Windows directly)
> arp -a | grep b8-27-eb

In the result, 192.168.1.9 is the IP address of my Raspberry Pi.

ARM University Program launches Embedded Linux Education Kit

ARM University Program announced the launch of the ninth and latest Education Kit: the Embedded Linux Education Kit. This kit provides full courseware on developing embedded Linux products, including Linux kernel configuration and custom peripheral driver development, using low cost yet powerful ARM-based single-board computers.

The courseware is highly modular and includes a rich set of lecture slides with notes, as well as lab manuals with solutions. As with previous Education Kits from the ARM University Program, the courseware covers fundamental theoretical concepts coupled with a hands-on approach that includes real Linux implementations on an ARM Cortex-A9 based i.MX 6Solo SoC, which is available on the low cost UDOO NEO board.

VNC Connect, a brand-new version of VNC

VNC Connect, a brand-new version of VNC that allows you not only to make direct connections within your own networks, but also to make secure cloud-brokered connections back to your computer from anywhere in the world, with no specialist networking knowledge needed.

The main change in VNC Connect is the ability to connect back to your Raspberry Pi from anywhere in the world, from a wide range of devices, without any complex port forwarding or IP addressing configuration. The cloud service brokers a secure, end-to-end encrypted connection back to your Pi, letting you take control simply and securely from wherever you happen to be.

A guest post at Raspberry Pi blog, GET ‘BACK TO MY PI’ FROM ANYWHERE WITH VNC CONNECT, Andy Clark, Engineering Manager at RealVNC, introduces VNC Connect: a brand-new, and free, version of VNC that makes it simple to connect securely to your Raspberry Pi from anywhere in the world.

Raspberry Pi 3 Compute Module 3 launched

Two versions of Compute Module 3 launched. The first is the ‘standard’ CM3 which has a BCM2837 processor at up to 1.2GHz with 1GByte RAM, the same as Pi3, and 4Gbytes of on-module eMMC flash. The second version, ‘Compute Module 3 Lite’ (CM3L),which still has the same BCM2837 and 1Gbyte of RAM, but brings the SD card interface to the Module pins so a user can wire this up to an eMMC or SD card of their choice.
