Internet of Things (IoT)


With advancement in embedded technology and microprocessor technology, it is now the dawn of IoT. This technology is going to impact on our lives in massive ways. It is going to change the way we think, we eat , we shop and alot of other things. The impact on industry might be equal to industrial revolution of 19th century(to be precise). So IoT has become a buzz word nowadays. Just google it and you will realize it importance. You cant see some of the investment and ROI stats from Gartner. They are interesting. 
              Okay enough of beating around the bush. Actually i recently had a chance to work on IoT. It was a suggestion from one of my teachers. My CS50 course was almost complete final project remaing and i was searching for something to work on for final project. It was good timing and a good suggestion. At the beginning i wasnt even aware of the term. So i started my research and soon started to get some idea about it. I started to get bore soon because of my ignorance of theory always. I like to practical in CS related stuff. So i bought some hardware which included a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, a credit card sized microprocessor, an Arduino UNO, some sensors and other related hardware. I will telling in detail when i will publish my project. I started playing with this hardware. It was amazing once I set a very basic IoT with the help of Ubidots Cloud and Android SDK but it was tough especially the android part. I will be explaining in detail later. If someone is urgent, email me. 
          Later i moved from Ubidots to Thingspeak for some reasons. It has some powerful features specially the analytics thing. Okay enough i guess.
Take care.
