Book Description:

Unlike other IoT books that focus on theory and generic applications, this guide takes a practical approach, empowering you to leverage ChatGPT to build your very first IoT prototype. With over 20 years of experience in wireless and IoT technologies and a background as an instructor, Jun Wen expertly guides you from project kick-off to a fully functional prototype.

The book emphasizes the transformative impact of ChatGPT for IoT, teaching you how to use ChatGPT to generate code for your applications, even with limited coding experience. You'll be introduced to using PlatformIO IDE within Visual Studio Code and discover the cutting-edge RISC-V architecture, the ESP32 MCU, Arduino-compatible sensors, and integration methods for AWS and the ThingsBoard dashboard. Working through 10 different project examples, including flame detection, smoke detection, and air quality measurement, you'll become proficient in the functions and specifications of each sensor and the use cases they solve.

By the end of this book, you'll be ready to undertake IoT development projects, bridging the gap between your ideas and functional creations.
