I'm trying IoT
October 24, 2019 · 1 min read
As a software developer you rarely build physical things. The artifacts after hard work are lots of 1s and 0s.
I remember the joy of building with LEGO as a kid—especially Technic.
Maybe I can find that joy again by building IoT (Internet of Things).
I bought some electronics from Particle.io. Then it was time to learn a bit of C++ and Arduino. Got started quite quickly and can now make simple press-to-blink solutions.
Now I need to decide what to build… I have a few ideas! 💡
