What's a good way of getting into IoT? Is there a "TensorFlow Hello World" to get started with things? What basics should I definitely not miss and what hot are

What's a good way of getting into IoT? Is there a "TensorFlow Hello World" to get started with things? What basics should I definitely not miss and what hot areas are out there?
- franciscop 10y agoArduino and Raspberry Pi are definitely two of the big learning platforms and communities. Arduino is more skewed towards the Things part and Raspberry Pi to the Internet part. For projects and "Hello world" examples you have Instructables: https://www.instructables.com/ https://www.instructables.com/ Which actually maps pretty well to the two main developers of IoT in my experience, Electronic focused people to Arduino and Sofware focused people to Raspberry Pi.
- coupdejarnac 10y agoLooks like Coursera might have a few applicable classes. I found this: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/iot https://www.coursera.org/specializations/iot IoT is basically the convergence of EE, software, and a bit of mechanical engineering. Since there are so many pre-made hardware platforms out there (Arduino, Pi, etc), you can get by only knowing circuit basics.

Get the NodeMCU form factor, add usb cable. Check the YouTube videos on this device, many projects and cool hacks. Or the ESP32, which is more money but has more RAM and a little more power, as well as adding Bluetooth. SparkFun has their ESP32 Thing for $20.
- pjmlp 10y agoThe ESP32 is specially cool, given that is powerful enough to run any kind of development environment from the 16 bit days (MS-DOS, Amiga, Atari ST, ...).
- patrickg_zill 10y agoGiven the neat things hackers have been able to make with the 8266, I look forward to seeing what is done with the ESP32.
