Installing the essential tools and libraries

In this section, we are going to install all of the tools that we will need in the hands-on part of this book: the Arduino IDE to upload code, Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 board drivers, Visual Studio Code to open non-Arduino code files, and Mosquitto, an MQTT server and toolkit for easy prototyping.

We will also set up an account on shiftr.io, a free MQTT web service, which comes with a useful dashboard.

Additional libraries, which are only needed in one of the hands-on projects, will be set up in that specific chapter.

Installing Arduino

The first application that we are going to install is the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE). It will be used in all of the hands-on...
