Azure IoT Hubs with Raspberry Pi and Node.Js

This workshop based session takes attendees from start to finish through connecting a Raspberry Pi to Microsoft Azure IoT Hubs.

I take the user through the basics of IoT, Microsoft’s Azure offering and basic electronics where we build a simple circuit with a couple of LEDs, a button and a Temperature Sensor.

We cover everything from how to create a Basic IoT hub, connect a Raspberry Pi up to a circuit, add the parameters to the template code and see our first interaction between the Pi and the IoT hub.

We’ll also walk through Device Twins and Azure Functions showing how to send a tweet when the room temperature drops below a certain level.
