Live code the Internet of Things

A Bespoke.js presentation, built with generator-bespoke

Abstract

What can you build in 30 minutes, on stage, with a Tessel, a couple of Arduinos, some sensors and actuators? Is the IoT within reach? Can you do that yourself in the hackerspace this afternoon? In this talk I will demo all the relevant technologies for building an IoT prototype: the MQTT protocol, the Mosca broker, and how to use it from real hardware. Bonus points: I will also show how to connect a BLE device from node!
