Summary
As Java becomes widely used on different hardware platforms from computers to embedded devices, Raspberry Pi has no limitations to work with it to gain full power of Java. This book presents some basic to advanced projects that can be used to build Raspberry Pi 3 projects with Java as the core development platform.
Chapter 1, Setting up Your Raspberry Pi, teaches you about the hardware available with Raspberry Pi and how to prepare to utilize it from the installed Java Virtual Machine. Setting up the NetBeans editor to be able to write Java applications, which can be deployed from the editor, including the in-editor, available console to be able to interact with Java applications on Raspberry Pi.
Chapter 2, Automatic Light Switch Using Presence Detection, explains how to perform analogue readings using digital pins, as the Raspberry Pi has no analog reading capabilities. By adding a 16x2 character display, you will visualize these readings. By adding logic to the code, you will be able to determine when someone is present, and in combination with detecting light levels, you will be able to set a relay state that turns a light on or off.
Chapter 3, A Social and Personal Digital Photo Frame, offers comprehensive guidance on building a social and personal digital photo frame with the Raspberry Pi as the heart. Flickr will be used the social media platform to grab a set of images that will be shown, on the display. FEH will be used an X11 image viewer to display images as a slide show with customizable configurations. Some advanced configurations for the Raspberry Pi will be needed to automate the photo frame to connect with Flickr, download images to local storage, display them on screen, and frequently sync local storage with Flickr.
Chapter 4, Integrating a Real-Time IoT Dashboard, presents a real-time IoT dashboard to display sensor data and Raspberry Pi’s system information on it, and control actuators from it. The dashboard will be built with Adafruit IO, in conjunction with the Eclipse Paho Java MQTT library and Pi4J. The IC2 communication protocol will be used to read data from the sensors by enabling the 12C interface on Raspberry Pi.
Chapter 5, Wireless Controlled Robot, introduces the Zumo chassis kit and how to build a Raspberry Pi brain on it with Java and Pi4J. The robot uses two gear motors to rotate the drive wheels, and the Pi4J library allows us to build various moving and turning mechanisms to control the robot. The built-in Wi-Fi module of the Raspberry Pi 3 allows you to connect the robot wirelessly to the computer, in order to execute the commands through SSH with a keyboard.
Chapter 6, Building a Multipurpose IoT Controller, teaches you how to build a simple web-based IoT controller by installing and configuring a Jetty servlet engine on the Raspberry Pi. Pi4J is used to control an LED or any other actuator from the web interface through a local network or from the Internet, by configuring port forwarding on the router.
Chapter 7, Security Camera with Face Recognition, explains how to build a security camera with face recognition using the OpenCV library for Java and the Raspberry Pi camera module. It uses built-in cascade classifiers to detect human faces and highlights them with a square in real-time video.
The following software and hardware components are essential in order to build all the projects that presented in this book:

In the first part of this chapter, we will be setting up a Raspberry Pi 3 with the installation of the official, by the Raspberry Pi foundation, released Raspbian Linux distribution with the help of the NOOBS installer. This will be followed up with any preparations needed to be able to use the onboard hardware and the installation of Java. The second part will cover preparing NetBeans as the editor of choice to write, compile, and deploy our Java applications with a simple Hello World application at the end of the chapter to confirm that our setup works.
With the release of the Raspberry Pi 3, the Raspberry Pi foundation has made a very big step in the history of the Raspberry Pi. The current hardware architecture is now based on a 1.2 GHz 64 bit ARMv7. This latest release of the Raspberry Pi also includes support for wireless networking and has an onboard Bluetooth 4.1 chip available.
Even though the Raspberry Pi 3 has 64-bit ARMv8, the operating system of the Raspberry Pi which is Raspbian confusingly report it is an 32-bit ARMv7. This is because of the Raspbian OS is currently only available in 32-bit.
To get started with the Raspberry Pi you will need the following components:
Keyboard and mouse:
Having both a keyboard and mouse present will greatly help with the installation of the Raspbian distribution. Almost any keyboard or mouse will work.
Display:
You can attach any compatible HDMI display, which can be a computer display or a television. The Raspberry Pi also has composite output shared with the audio connector. You will need an A/V cable if you want to use this output.
Power adapter:
Because of all the enhancements made, the Raspberry Pi foundation recommends a 5V adapter capable of delivering 2.5 A. You would be able to use a lower-rated one, but I strongly advise against this if you are planning to use all the available USB ports. The connector for powering the device uses a micro USB cable.
MicroSD
card
: The Raspberry Pi 3 uses a MicroSD card. I would advise using at least an 8-GB class 10 version. This will allow us to use the additional space to install applications, and as our projects will log data, you won't be running out of space soon.
The Raspberry Pi 3:
Last but not least, a Raspberry Pi 3. Some of our projects will be using the on-board Bluetooth chip, and this version will also be focused on in this book.
Our first step will be preparing a SD card for use with the Raspberry Pi. You will need a MicroSD card as the Raspberry Pi 3 only supports this format. The preparation of the SD card is being done on a normal PC, so it is wise to purchase one with an adapter fitting a full-size SD card slot. There are webshops selling preformatted SD cards with the NOOBS installer already present on the card. If you have bought one of these preformatted cards you can skip to the Installing Raspbian section.
There is a large number of SD cards available. The Raspberry Pi foundation advises an 8-GB card, which leaves space to install different kinds of application and supplies enough space for us to write log data. When you buy an SD card, it is wise to keep your eyes open for the quality of these cards. Well-known and established manufacturers often supply better quality than the counterfeit ones. SD cards are sold with different class definitions. These classes explain the minimal combined read and write speeds. Class 6 should provide at least 6 MB/s, and class 10 cards should provide at least 10 MB/s. There is a good online resource available that provides tested results of using SD cards with the Raspberry Pi. If you need a resource to check for compatible SD cards, I advise you to go to the embedded Linux page at http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards.
To be able to use the SD card, it first needs to be formatted. Most cards are already formatted with the FAT32 filesystem, which the Raspberry Pi NOOBS installer requires, unless you have bought a large SD card it is possible it is formatted with the exFAT filesystem. These then should also be formatted as FAT32. To format the SD card, we will be using the SD association's SDFormatter utility, which you can download from http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards, as default OS supplied formatters do not always provide optimal results.
In the following screenshot, the SDFormatter for the Mac is shown. This utility is also available for Windows and has the same options. If you are using Linux, you can use GParted. Make sure when using GParted you use FAT32 as the formatting option. As shown in the screenshot, select the Overwrite format option and give the SD card a label. The example shows RPI3JAVA, but this can be the label of your choice so you can quickly recognize the card when it's inserted:
Press the Format button to start formatting the SD card. Depending on the size of the SD card, this could take some time, enabling you to get a cup of coffee. The utility will show a done message in the form of Card Format complete when the formatting is done. You will now have a usable SD card.
To be able to use the NOOBS installer, you will need to follow the following steps:
Download the NOOBS installer from
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
.
Unzip the file with your favorite unzip utility. Most OSes already have one installed.
Copy the contents of the unzipped file into the SD card's
root
directory so that the copy result is as shown in the following screenshot:
After we have copied the required files into the SD card, we can start installing the Raspbian OS.
To install Raspbian, we need to get the Raspberry Pi ready for use. As the Raspberry Pi has no power on and off button, the powering of the Raspberry Pi will be done as the last step:
At the bottom of the Raspberry Pi on the side you will see a slot to insert your MicroSD card. Insert the SD card with the connectors pointing to the board.
Next, connect the HDMI or the composite connector and your keyboard and mouse. You won't need a network cable as we will be using the wireless functionality built into the Raspberry Pi.
We will now connect the Raspberry Pi with the micro USB power supply.
When the Raspberry Pi boots up, you will be presented with the OSes available to be installed. Depending on the download of NOOBS you have done, you will be able to see if the Raspbian OS is already available on the SD card or if it will be installed by downloading it. This is visualized by showing an SD card image or a network image behind the OS name. In the following screenshot, you see the NOOBS installer with the Raspbian image available on the SD card.
At the bottom of the installation screen you will find the
Language
and
Keyboard
