Overview of this book

Arduino is a powerful and very versatile platform used by millions of people around the world to create DIY electronics projects. It can be connected to a wide variety of sensors and other components, making it the ideal platform to build amazing Internet of Things (IoT) projects on—the next wave in the era of computing. This book takes a recipe-based approach, giving you precise examples on how to build IoT projects of all types using the Arduino platform. You will come across projects from several fields, including the popular robotics and home automation domains. Along with being introduced to several forms of interactions within IoT, including projects that directly interact with well-known web services such as Twitter, Facebook, and Dropbox we will also focus on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) interactions, where Arduino projects interact without any human intervention. You will learn to build a few quick and easy-to-make fun projects that will really expand your horizons in the world of IoT and Arduino. Each chapter ends with a troubleshooting recipe that will help you overcome any problems faced while building these projects. By the end of this book, you will not only know how to build these projects, but also have the skills necessary to build your own IoT projects in the future.

Basic local M2M interactions


In the first project of this chapter, we are going to learn how to make a very simple case of Machine-to-Machine interaction, by using two Arduino MKR1000 boards. To illustrate M2M communications, we are just going to make them talk via the local Wi-Fi network.

Getting ready

This project will be composed of two Arduino boards. One board will be connected to a simple push button, and the other one to a simple LED. The goal is that whenever the button is pressed, the first board will send the signal to the other board to light up the LED.

These are the components that we will need for this recipe:

Let's now see how to assemble the board with the push button. The first step is to place the push button...
