Connecting our components together physically is similar for both basic edge analytics applications and edge analytics applications based on Microsoft Azure IoT. Input and output pins exist on many of the microcontrollers used for IoT and edge analytics applications. In the coming sections, we will outline how this done.
How do the components fit together?
Connecting a sensor to the ESP-12F microcontroller
The following diagram shows a weather predictor I built using the ESP-12F module. Although it is not an edge analytics application per se, it does show how to connect a microcontroller to an LED and the internet. The weather predictor uses barometric pressure values taken for a web service to determine whether there will...
