Understanding Mashups, Dweepy Library, and dweet.io Cloud Server

In this session, participants will learn about the world of mashups and their interaction with IoT platforms. The class will be introduced to the Dweepy Python library by investigating a Raspberry Pi-based IoT device example. Also, use of the dweet.io cloud server, a free data aggregator website, will be discussed. The hands-on lab will consist of building a dweet.io Raspberry Pi IoT device.

Introduction to the Freeboard.io Cloud Server

The Freeboard.io cloud website will be introduced in this class, with a discussion on dashboards, triggers, and IO sources. Elements on URL resources from dweet.io will be demonstrated by use of a smartphone. The concepts based on this hands-on demonstration will be used in building the RPi LED Flasher Freeboard Dashboard in the final session of the weeklong course.
