Esquilo and the Internet of Things
There seems to be a new microcontroller board most days, and they all try and sell themselves on simplifying development for the Internet of Things. But the Esquilo may actually stand a chance of doing it.
Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the perfect way for makers to get creative and use technology to solve problems. It’s easier now than ever before to connect physical devices in our world with the internet; from appliances that can be remotely monitored and controlled, healthcare monitoring systems, wearables, home security systems and more. By connecting things like this together, it lets us access data in ways that have never been possible before – such as checking how much energy an appliance uses or controlling lights in a room via your phone all over the world. In these blog posts, we cover everything you need to know about IoT: what it is, the benefits of using it and even some inspiring projects and tutorials so you can start taking advantage of its potential!
