Required Software
This page provides the necessary guidelines to install the required software for the implementation of the IoT project.
Raspberry Pi OS setup
To implement the Smart Mailbox IoT project, we will provide you several small single-board computers (Raspberry Pi) and motion sensors. Also, you have to use Python to program motion sensors.
In our lab, we will setup the OS using a microSD card with ample storage. We will use the native Raspberry Pi OS, a Debian Bookworm.
Note that, to facilitate the lab process, we have already installed the Raspberry Pi OS on our microSD cards. Also, Python is pre-installed in the native Raspberry Pi OS. In case you wish to install the OS in another microSD card, please follow the guidelines provided in the official website of Raspberry Pi:
