What is the Internet of Things?
Giant network of connected 'things'.
How is it different to web programming?
- More things to take into account (check for battery life, processing power, etc...)
- Building the hardware, not only the software.
Examples of devices
Remote controlled lightbulbs
Voice commands to control “smart” appliances in your house. Like “ok google” for your house.
Smart jacket for cyclists indicating direction to drivers behind.
Smart customizable shoes
Wearable temporary tattoos tracking body temperature, etc..
How
Hardware
Smart home kit with 14 wireless modules including, mp3 player, temperature sensor, servos, etc...
Starter kit with Arduino UNO, breadboard, buttons, LEDs, jumper wires, capacitors, etc...
Credit-card sized computer that can browse the Internet, play games, make spreadsheets, etc...
Small Wifi development kit for prototyping IoT projects.
Wifi development board for prototyping IoT projects.
Software
- Javascript
- Ruby
Artoo
- Go
Gobot
And if you're lazy...
If This Then That
What can I make?
Arduino Robotic car
Remote controlled light
More advanced
VR + Robot
Wearables
New kind of instruments
Augmented shopping cart
Live demo!
But first...
Hand-tracking sign language learning platform
Getting started
"Hello World" example
``` var five = require("johnny-five"); var board = new five.Board(); board.on("ready", function() { // Create an Led on pin 13 var led = new five.Led(13); // Blink every half second led.blink(500); }); ```
