In this tutorial we will show the steps to use OpenDevice and easily communicate with the devices.
The features will be displayed progressively, from a simple USB connection to a webserver using REST.
Hardware
In this first tutorial we will use the Arduino to be the most popular platform.
For this sample you need only a PC and Arduino (or compatible like one of EnergiaIDE).
Software
- Java SDK
- Eclipse
- Arduino IDE
Because the Arduino be a device with very little processing power and storage, it is often necessary to use a computer to store the data in a database or to make processing and analysis of these data as well as integrate with other applications.
This first example is pretty basic'll just focus on communication.
Step 1 - Installing the library in Arduino
To install the library, you can simply clone the repository in the /libraries folder of your Arduino folder. Or you can also download the repository as a ZIP file and extract it in the /libraries folder.
Please note that the library also requires some other libraries to function properly, like the library for the CC3000 WiFi chip. You can find all the links inside the README file of the library.
