Abstract
In this talk, we’ll have a look at how to use the popular Raspberry Pi 3 development platform with Go and add some smartness to it to automate our lives. In this talk, I plan to present how Go can be used on hardware such as RPI3. I’ll use one of the projects from https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/ combined with gobot.io and show how with a few lines of code, you can turn a $50 kit into a smart home automation device. The goal of the presentation is to enable the audience to have fun while working with Go, create something different, and learn how Go can be used in non-web or CLI projects. Live coding will be present, depending on the venue capabilities. Workshop requirements: - a laptop with Go 1.11, or newer, installed and configured for a full working environment - a Raspberry Pi 3 with Go 1.11, or newer, installed - the following kit installed and working for https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/voice This is crucial, otherwise, the workshop will be useless and they should not get in. * The workshop will be paused for the Coffee break.
