An IoT artefact for learning, dissemination and playing with IoT - Arduino or ESP8266 and some interesting sensors and actors. First prototype is a circle of 60 WS2812 RGB LEDs connected via breadboard with Arduino, RTC module and possibly anything more (sensors).
- Download the source code: git clone https://github.com/jsitera/IoTLab.git
- Take the IoT clock, connect Arduino IDE with a cable, make all the wiring on breadboard (see source code for comments), download libraries (FastLED, RTClib) via library manager.
- Compile and upload the basic clock code (.ino file), test it.
- Use the example code as a template for your modification or create a new project. Good start are also FastLED library examples and docs (http://fastled.io/ https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED).
The IoT clock (a ring of LEDs) is a good playground for teaching Arduino programming. See the IoT-clock-play-with-LEDs (https://github.com/jsitera/IoTLab/tree/master/IoT-clock-play-with-LEDs) directory, there is another README file.
