Course Overview
Build IoT flows using Raspberry Pi, Node-RED, MQTT and cloud integration from scratch
Raspberry Pi & IoT with Node-RED – Build Real Projects from Scratch
If you want to build Internet of Things (IoT) applications using Raspberry Pi and Node-RED without getting overwhelmed by complex programming, this course is designed for you.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Install and configure Raspberry Pi
Set up Node-RED on Raspberry Pi and Windows
Create drag-and-drop IoT flows using Node-RED
Interface sensors and output devices
Send data to MQTT brokers and cloud platforms
Build complete IoT projects with Raspberry Pi and Node-RED
Why This Course?
Many beginners want to learn Raspberry Pi and IoT but face common challenges:
No experience with Linux or Raspberry Pi
No programming background
Confusion about sensors and hardware interfacing
Difficulty connecting devices to the cloud
This course removes those barriers.
Node-RED simplifies IoT development by allowing you to create logic using visual flows instead of complex code. You will build your first Node-RED flow within the first 20 minutes of the course.
Everything is explained step by step with minimal hardware requirements so you do not feel overwhelmed.
