What did you Learn in This Topic?
Let's first summarize what you learned in this topic. With the first chapter, you learned the
basics of the Internet of Things. You built projects that performed local measurements and
sent these measurements to the cloud so they are stored online. We also saw how to monitor
these measurements online, from anywhere in the world.
Then, we saw another major pillar of the Internet of Things: having web-connected objects
that are accessible from anywhere in the world. We built a lamp that was controllable from
any web browser.
After that, we took things to another level by introducing a more powerful Arduino board:
the Arduino Yun. First, we connected this board to the web service Temboo, to automatic-
ally log data in a Google Docs spreadsheet.
Finally, we connected a USB camera to create our own wireless IP security camera. The
camera was configured to automatically take pictures when motion was detected. When that
was the case, the project automatically uploaded these pictures on Dropbox.
