The core of the book explains the use of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W running the Python
programming language always in simple terms and backed by many tested and working example
projects. On part of the reader familiarity with the Python programming language and some
experience with one of the Raspberry Pi computers will prove helpful. Although previous
electronics experience is not required some knowledge of basic electronics is beneficial
especially when venturing out to modify the projects for your own applications. Over 30
tested and working hardware-based projects are given in the book covering the use of Wi-Fi
communication with smartphones and with a Raspberry Pi Pico W computer. Additionally there are
Bluetooth projects including elementary communication with smartphones and with the popular
Arduino Uno. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are key features of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Some of
the topics covered in the book are: Raspberry Pi OS installation on an SDÂ card Python
program creation and execution on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Software-only examples of Python
running on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Hardware-based projects including LCD and Sense HAT
interfacing UDP and TCP Wi-Fi based projects for smartphone communication UDP-based project
for Raspberry Pi Pico W communication Flask-based webserver project Cloud storage of
captured temperature humidity and pressure data TFT projects Node-RED projects
Interfacing to Alexa MQTT projects Bluetooth-based projects for smartphone and Arduino Uno
communications All programs discussed in this book are contained in an archive file you can
