Description

In our modern, internet-connected world, where billions of devices constantly collect and send data to systems to be stored and processed, it’s surprising how the intricacies of data transmission and storage are often overlooked in the IoT domain. With Arduino Data Communications, you'll bridge the knowledge gap and become an expert in collecting data from IoT sensors, transmitting data, and configuring your own databases. This book is an exploration of IoT’s inner workings, guiding you through the process of setting up an end-to-end system that you can employ to prototype your own IoT solutions, using easy-to-follow examples. It begins with a general overview of the Arduino ecosystem, acquainting you with various sensors and shields and unveiling the art of data collection. You’ll then explore data formats and methods to store data, both locally and on database servers. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll learn how to set up REST and MQTT infrastructure to communicate with databases and get hands-on with LoRaWAN, Ethernet, cellular, HC-12, and RS-485. The final chapters are your training ground for real-world projects, imparting the essential knowledge you need to tackle complex challenges with confidence. By the end of this Arduino book, you'll have seamlessly configured an end-to-end system, all while immersing yourself in practical scenarios that bring the world of IoT to life.

Who is this book for?

This book is for embedded systems engineers and electronics engineers who want to build IoT devices and gain insights into storing data collected from these devices, as well as establish communication between devices. The skills you learn in this book will come in handy even if your final product isn't built on Arduino. While prior experience with computers is assumed, expertise with embedded systems such as Arduino is not a prerequisite. Familiarity with Arduino programming will be beneficial, but not necessary.

What you will learn

Explore data storage formats for both local and remote storage solutions

Build projects that leverage the variety of communication standards

Set up a database to host data transmitted from various projects

Use MQTT and RESTful APIs to send data from devices to remote systems

Prepare for multiple devices using high availability measures

Use LoRa by implementing a gateway and a client

Transmit temperature and humidity data over RS-485 and HC-12

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

An unusual one for me, I have not personally used Arduino tools in pursuing DevOps, but “Arduino Data Communications” (Packt, 2023) By Robert Thas John makes a good case. This tool could come in handy if you are working on edge deployments or integrating sensors into on-site tools. The book does a great job of going through the various options, constructing the boards, and using different telecommunication settings. Three sections appear: an introduction to Arduino, sending data, and miscellaneous topics. Recommended for those seeking communication solutions to software difficulties. The first section deals with Arduino’s unique approach to building the development environment into the hardware board. This results in needing the physical connections for sensors and other tools. The section discusses using shields and carriers, external devices, and linking those connections to the Arduino tools to integrate data. It also discusses the challenges in storing data externally, the board does not hold the data, and the connections to various APIs and REST formats to enable the external board to succeed. Various data formats are included, from heat and humidity to motion and acoustic inputs. Connecting to sensors follows up in the second section with connections to various communication tools. Included are basic types of short, medium and long-range options before delving into some specific applications. First up in specifics is LoRaWAN, a Low-Power, Wide Area Network (LPWAN) protocol and its connections to The Things Network TTN. The TTN provides some easy and approved solutions and a way to register devices. The other transport devices are cellular comms, the HC-12, and the RS-485. Connections also discuss ethernet linkages; each section includes labs to test your skills. The final section discusses some strategic options for incorporating Arduino into your overall plan. These include security solutions, scaling for high availability, and building hardware. While all the tips were good, there was not a high lot different from any other type of solution. Security fixes included items like encryption and identity management while the scaling discussed power and network outages, hardware failures, and load-balancing across multiple boards. The building chapter does touch on using 3D printers to produce boards but unfortunately, no schematics were provided. If I had one complaint, it would be that I do not have a lot of experience in this area. I’ve done some work with microcontrollers, and wiring boards but not enough to push me into an Arduino type solution. Even when using edge devices, most of the connections are still either a direct visit to the site with a hard drive, or a encrypted Wifi type solution. If I was moving to Arduino, this book certainly offers enough tips for me to get started.Overall, “Arduino Data Communications” By Robert Thas John was a good read. Not quite all the way in my wheelhouse but with enough overlap that I can certainly see benefits. If the solutions you seek are more sensor and edge based, this is probably a good add. Also, if you enjoy working with hardware, and building your own boards, I’d pick this one up.

"Arduino Data Communications" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning how to use Arduino for data communications. The book is well-written and easy to understand, even for beginners, and provides a wealth of information on the subject.I highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of Arduino, IoT and data communications.
