Includes index. "Connecting sensors and microcontrollers to the cloud."--Cover.
Summary:
"What is the Internet of Things? It's countless embedded computers, sensors, and actuators all connected online. If you have basic programming skills, you can use these powerful little devices to create a variety of useful systems--such as devices that react to real-world events and take action. This hands-on guide shows you how to start building your own fun and fantastic projects. Learn to program embedded devices using the .NET Micro Framework and the Netduino Plus board. Then connect your devices to the Internet with Pachube, a cloud platform for sharing real-time sensor data. All you need is a Netduino Plus, a USB cable, a couple of sensors, an Ehternet connection to the Internet--and your imagination. Develop programs with simple outputs (actuators) and inputs (sensors); learn about the Internet of Things and the Web of Things; build client programs that push sensor readings from a device to a web service; create server programs that allow you to control a device over the Web; get example programs that you can compile with Visual Studio on Windows or Mono on Mac OS X and Linux"--P.
