Configuring Raspberry Pi and sensors 

In this project, we will use the Raspberry Pi 2 and Adafruit kit components to use a PIR (Pyroelectric/Passive Infrared Sensor) motion sensor to detect the motion of an object, which triggers a USB webcam to snap a photo and send it to the bot.

Prerequisites

Before getting started with the project, let's take a look at the hardware and software requirements.

Hardware

The following list details are the hardware required for the project:

• Raspberry Pi2 Model B
• Breadboard
• Logitech USB camera (this component is not there in Adafruit kit)
• PIR motion sensor
• LED
• Resistor
• Adafruit female to male jumper wires (only five wires needed)

Software

Now, let's take a look at the software required for the project:

• Windows 10 PC
• Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition or Enterprise Edition
• Azure subscription
• Azure App Service (API App)
• Azure IoT Hub

Now that we are equipped with all the hardware and software required for this project, let's get started with configuring the Raspberry Pi and...
