Software
An Internet of Things project – as most computing projects – implies the integration of hardware and software. Once you have connected the hardware, you need to start building the software.
With the components presented in this tutorial, software is required for two purposes:
- to run the microcontroller
- to store the data captured by the sensor
You will create all the required software on the cloud. Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services – e.g., data storage, databases, and more – over the Internet. The Arduino ecosystem uses the cloud and presents a way of creating all the required software using a web browser, minimising the need to write code using standard development tools.
