In Chapter 1, Setting up Intel Edison, we learned how to set up the Intel Edison and run some basic programs in various languages. In this chapter, we'll scale up things a bit and introduce the Internet to the picture of the IoTs. We will hear this term quite often, and there has been no exact definition of it. However, if we try to bring out the literal meaning of IoT, it means connecting devices to the Internet. It may also be referred to as connected devices or smart devices. It's an advanced form of machine to machine (M2M) communication. In this chapter, the main focus will be on the architecture of IoTs and how Intel Edison is the perfect choice for developing systems revolving around IoT. We'll also be dealing with various components of a typical IoT project and how things can be scaled up at the component level. By the end of this chapter, we'll have built a system...

Overview of this book
Change the way you look at embedded electronics with Intel Edison. It is a small computing platform packed with a set of robust features to deliver hands-on performance, durability, and software support.
This book is a perfect place to kickstart development and rapid prototyping using Intel Edison. It will start by introducing readers to the Intel Edison board and explaining how to get started with it. You will learn how to build a mini weather station, which will help you to acquire temperature and smoke level and push it to the IoT platform. Then you will see how to build a home automation device and control your appliances using an Android app. Furthermore, we will build a security system using a webcam to detect faces and perform voice recognition. Toward the end, the book will demonstrate how you can build
two robots, which will be based on different line sensing sensors and can be controlled by a PC.
The book will guide the readers through each and every step of execution of a project, using Intel Edison.
