Introduction to the Hardware: Arduino
From the last post, we know have a clear idea about what IoT is and how it works. We also discussed about the major technologies that are used today to support IoT. IoT is about establishing connection between various devices. Now if we want to establish this connection; for example between a smart phone and a home appliance (let's say refrigerator) we need some kind of device to do this. A device that will establish this connection and will help the user to control the refrigerator in a wireless method. This is when the need of some kind of micro controller, micro processor or micro computer arises. Hence, today we will discuss about the two major hardware technologies used now a days: Arduino and Raspberry Pi . Arduino: An Introduction In simple words we can use an Arduino to read data from sensors and control things. We can write and upload our programs on the board which will then enable it to interact with things in the real world. With the Arduino board we can make d...
