\"internet_of_things\"<\/p>\n

The Internet is considered by many to have been one of the greatest technological advances of the 20th century. Here in the 21st century the Internet of Things (IoT) might well earn that title.<\/p>\n

Currently in its infancy, the Internet of Things is a network of physical objects – computing devices, appliances, vehicles, sensors and even entire buildings that are interconnected through the Internet. Already devices like IP cameras and Nest thermostats allow us to control and monitor our homes remotely through our smartphones. Soon this technology will be combined with other technological advances such as self-driving cars and biometric clothing to allow capabilities that we can’t even dream of right now.<\/p>\n

There are many ways that you can get started experimenting with the internet of things right now. Small microcomputers and microcontrollers like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi or dedicated IoT devices like the Intel Spark and Photon will allow you to build and design Internet of Things devices quickly and efficiently. Once you’re done you can use applications like If This Then That (IFTTT) to control your creations from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Control the world or water your plants – let’s get started and build some great devices for The Internet of Things!<\/p>\n

Getting Started with the Arduino IoT Cloud<\/a><\/h2>

Today we will look at the Arduino IoT Cloud, an online application for building Internet of Things (IoT) devices.<\/p>

I'll show you how to get an account set up, how to configure your workstation, and how to build your first \"Thing\".<\/p>

The cloud was recently updated, so now even free plan users can work with the ESP32, and I'll show you how to do that as well.<\/p>Read More »<\/a>

Arduino Nano 33 IoT Board<\/a><\/h2>

Today we will look at the Arduino Nano 33 IoT board, an updated 32-bit version of the original Nano. This board combines WiFi, Bluetooth, an IMU, and a Real-Time Clock in a package identical to its older cousin.<\/p>

We'll see how to set up the board with the Arduino IDE and how to use all of its features.<\/p>

I'll be using this board in a few IoT projects, so it's a good idea to get familiar with it.<\/p>Read More »<\/a>
