Key benefits

  • Build creative embedded apps with TinyGo using low-powered devices and microcontrollers
  • Understand the practicality involved in integrating hardware and sensors while programming them using TinyGo
  • Use TinyGo in modern browsers to display embedded applications' statistics on WebAssembly dashboards

Description

While often considered a fast and compact programming language, Go usually creates large executables that are difficult to run on low-memory or low-powered devices such as microcontrollers or IoT. TinyGo is a new compiler that allows developers to compile their programs for such low-powered devices. As TinyGo supports all the standard features of the Go programming language, you won't have to tweak the code to fit on the microcontroller. This book is a hands-on guide packed full of interesting DIY projects that will show you how to build embedded applications. You will learn how to program sensors and work with microcontrollers such as Arduino UNO and Arduino Nano IoT 33. The chapters that follow will show you how to develop multiple real-world embedded projects using a variety of popular devices such as LEDs, 7-segment displays, and timers. Next, you will progress to build interactive prototypes such as a traffic lights system, touchless hand wash timer, and more. As you advance, you'll create an IoT prototype of a weather alert system and display those alerts on the TinyGo WASM dashboard. Finally, you will build a home automation project that displays stats on the TinyGo WASM dashboard. By the end of this microcontroller book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to build real-world embedded projects using the power of TinyGo.

Who is this book for?

If you are a Go developer who wants to program low-powered devices and hardware such as Arduino UNO and Arduino Nano IoT 33, or if you are a Go developer who wants to extend your knowledge of using Go with WebAssembly while programming Go in the browser, then this book is for you. Go hobbyist programmers who are interested in learning more about TinyGo by working through the DIY projects covered in the book will also find this hands-on guide useful.

What you will learn

  • Discover a variety of TinyGo features and capabilities while programming your embedded devices
  • Explore how to use display devices to present your data
  • Focus on how to make TinyGo interact with multiple sensors for sensing temperature, humidity, and pressure
  • Program hardware devices such as Arduino Uno and Arduino Nano IoT 33 using TinyGo
  • Understand how TinyGo works with GPIO, ADC, I2C, SPI, and MQTT network protocols
  • Build your first TinyGo IoT and home automation prototypes
  • Integrate TinyGo in modern browsers using WebAssembly

What I love most about this book is that it teaches you TinyGo and WebAssembly by guiding you through projects that you can benefit from at home. I am a big fan of learning by doing and was excited to find a book that is taking that approach to heart.This book is great for both beginners and intermediate programmers alike. It provides a step-by-step introduction to embedded programming that is very beginner-friendly. For more experienced programmers it serves as an inspiration and easy-to-read guide to the world of TinyGo.I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in building embedded or IoT systems and loves programming in Golang.Personally, I'll keep TinyGo on my radar moving forward in my career. If it starts supporting the `net` pkg, I'll most likely adopt the language in some of our projects!

Really detailed book and was an introduction for me to use TinyGo. Fair warning, you need an Audrino board. I didn't have one so had to get one. It is a step by step guide into using TinyGo (there is a difference between TinyGo and Go, the book goes over this as well.) with the code written out for you so you can easily follow it.Very detailed. I feel like I have a strong grasp with Microcontrollers now! Overall I would recommend this book.

Before you buy this book, be sure you have an Arduino Uno R3, which you can purchase on Amazon. You will also need to install Go and Git.The book starts with a brief look at TinyGo and a comparison of it to Go. The author walks you through the process of getting TinyGo up and running on your computer (Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Docker). It is okay if you have not worked with an Arduino Uno, the book provides a gentle introduction to the device. The core of this book provides excellent examples of projects you can program for the Arduino Uno R3 using TinyGo. Some of the more interesting examples are Traffic Lights Control System, Plant Watering System, Touchless Handwash Timer, Weather Alerts, and Home Monitoring.As you would expect with TinyGo, the coding is not complex or lengthy. Code snippets are provided in the book and are freely available on the book’s companion site. While the book makes no mention of the Raspberry Pi, TinyGo can be installed and configured to work on that that family of devices as well.I also recommend the “Learn LLVM 12” book as it includes information on compiler structures, intermediate code generation, creating your own compiler, debugging, using LLVM tools, and extending LLVM.

I love playing with microcontrollers for Home Automation. When I saw this book's content and chapters, I was interested in reading and exploring the contents of this book.All you need is Arduino Board and some free time. The Book explains the code line by line and hence if you are a beginner at programming the explanation is going to be of great help!There are a lot of small projects in this book that gives enough hands-on exposure to the WASM and TinyGo for working with Microcontrollers.I also suggest that universities can benefit from the content and can be perfect a semester course for electronics and embedded system students.

I found the book very helpful in coming up with ideas for home projects that I actually had a use for. The plant watering system project was of particular interest,since we get very little rain in this part of the country. Using this instructions in this book, I should now be able to automate watering my plants, ratherthan have to get up early in the morning and do the watering manually. Thank you Packt and Tobias Theel for the great information, easy to follow code examples,and a lot of fun reading.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
