I need to prepare a pilot to send IoT data to Google BigQuery. I have decided to use a Raspberry Pi and a Sense HAT as sources of data.

Many people are already familiar with Raspberry Pis and its possibilities. In my case, it is the first time I am using it, and I am enjoying my new toy as there is no tomorrow! So I decided to write this post to share my experience setting my Raspi and Sense HAT up.

Just for clarification, a Raspberry Pi is a low-cost computer, credit-card size, which is extensively used to learn programming and electronics. It is also quite popular for some industrial applications.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/desktop-sense-hat-emulator/A Sense HAT contains several sensors to measure temperature, humidity, etc. If you just want to make the code to control the Sense HAT and generate the data to send to BigQuery, and you don’t need actual measurements, you can replace the Sense HAT with a web-based or desktop Sense HAT emulator, which runs natively on Raspberry Pi OS.

So here you have the details on how I set up my raspi.
