Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “This cloud variable declaration is available in the thingProperties.h file.”

A block of code is set as follows:

TinyGPSPlus gps;
unsigned long previousMillis = 0;
const long interval = 30000; //milliseconds

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

npm install @arduino/arduino-iot-client
npm i request-promise

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “After setting up the configuration, click the Get new Access Token button.”
