Arduino has launched the Oplá IoT Kit for IoT development. The company promotes it as the first open programmable IoT development kit, which allows even beginners to build IoT devices without complications. This kit comes with several access interfaces, from web panels to the Read more…
At the end of January this year (2020) I attended The Things Networks conference in Amsterdam, where products, trends and analysis about the world of IoT in general and LoRaWAN in particular were presented. These types of conferences always offer us a vision of the future, in Read more…
A few days ago one of my subscribers asked me how he could design an IoT device for a client. In this video I share the advice and recommendations that I gave him, through seven points, which I will detail below. Keep it simple This means building what is called Read more…
The choice of microcontroller is a crucial step in the design of an IoT device. In this article we will see what we must take into account to choose the right one for our IoT project. But first let's see what is the difference between a microprocessor and a microcontroller. In principle we can say that both Read more…
Arduino IDE is a development environment that allows us to program abstracting from the hardware used. In this way it is not necessary to know the hardware details of each device, it is enough to install the necessary libraries for the board that we are using. To download the Arduino IDE installer, go to Read more…
This week saw the latest release from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, its new version of the famous compact computer: Raspberry Pi 4. This new version brings several improvements over its predecessor Raspberry Pi 3 B+. CPU and Memory The new CPU is a 1.5GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A72, which Read more…
What we will do in this tutorial We will connect an ESP8266 microcontroller to the Adafruit IoT platform and send it a message every second. What elements are needed An ESP8266 microcontroller. In my case I have used the NodeMCU development board, but any other can work. Have an Adafruit account Read more…
A few years ago, Python applications and scripts ran only on personal computers or servers, since they required an operating system to run the execution environment and the libraries. However, it is increasingly being used to program devices with limited hardware, such as compact computers. Read more…
