Thanks to Nerves, those same exact benefits can be realized in embedded applications. This book will teach you how to structure, build, and deploy production grade Nerves applications to network-enabled devices. The weather station sensor hub project that you will be embarking upon will show you how to create a full stack IoT solution in record time. You will build everything from the embedded Nerves device to the Phoenix backend and even the Grafana time-series data visualizations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eElixir as a programming language has found its way into many different software domains, largely in part to the rock-solid foundation of the Erlang virtual machine. Thanks to the Nerves framework, Elixir has also found success in the world of embedded systems and IoT. Having access to all of the Elixir and OTP constructs such as concurrency, supervision, and immutability makes for a powerful IoT recipe. Find out how to create fault-tolerant, reliable, and robust embedded applications using the Nerves framework.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuild and deploy a production-grade weather station sensor hub using Elixir and Nerves, all while leveraging the best practices established by the Nerves community for structuring and organizing Nerves applications. Capture all of your weather station sensor data using Phoenix and Ecto in a lightweight server-side application. Efficiently store and retrieve the time-series weather data collected by your device using TimescaleDB (the Postgres extension for time-series data). Finally, complete the full stack IoT solution by using Grafana to visualize all of your time-series weather station data. Discover how to create software solutions where the underlying technologies and techniques are applicable to all layers of the project.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTake your project from idea to production ready in record time with Elixir and Nerves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You Need: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo complete the Nerves weather station project in this book, you will need the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Linux, MacOS, or Windows computer to build and deploy Nerves firmware images\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Raspberry Pi Zero W or any other Nerves supported target (https: \/\/hexdocs.pm\/nerves\/targets.html#supported-targets-and-systems)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA VEML6030 light sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn BME680 environmental sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn SGP30 air quality sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQwiic connect cables for weather sensors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexander Koutmos\u003c\/b\u003e has been writing software professionally for almost a decade and has been working primarily with Elixir since 2016.
