Summary

This chapter is the first chapter where we explored how to connect devices with the Arduino IoT Cloud using a basic LED on/off example. In the first part, we used an Arduino IoT Cloud-compatible development board, which was the MKR Wi-Fi 1010 board, where we learned how to create Things and cloud variables, how to associate devices, how to configure networks, and how to create sketches. At the end of that section, there was an assignment for you to practice on.

In the second part of this chapter, we explored how to connect non-compatible development boards, such as Arduino UNO, Arduino Mega, and Raspberry Pi, with the Arduino IoT Cloud, using Node-RED and the Arduino API interface. Here we have explored Node-RED, the Node-RED module for the Arduino IoT Cloud, and generating API keys in the cloud. This part of the chapter helped teach you how to use non-compatible existing technologies with the Arduino IoT Cloud.

Arduino has a lot of options in the Arduino IoT Cloud, such...
