The IOT kit will supply you with Crowtail modules, which inclueds ESP8266 NodeMCU, OLED, RGB LED, Moisture sensor, Temperature & Humidity sensor, Flame sensor, Buzzer and Relay. This kit comes from our Philippine customer, who has a platform of Internet of Things with Meeo. This kit doesn’t require any soldering, and is recommended to anyone with a drive to learn Internet of Things through Arduino, everything is plug and play!
Features
- MQTT, Immerse yourself with Internet of Things through MQTT, an easy-to-use protocol for your connected devices.
- Love for Open Source, Meeo comes with an open-source library for off-the-shelf open hardware DIY boards such as ESP8266, NodeMCU and more!
- Simplified Dashboard, Visualize your data on your dashboard through a set of simple widgets in real time!
Instructions
- Get the Arduino IDE from the Arduino website.
- Install the necessary drivers for your Crowtail ESP8266 board. Get it here.
- Setup your Arduino IDE to support ESP8266-based Arduino boards. To do this, open the Arduino Preferences window.
- On Mac, make sure that the Arduino IDE is active and then click Arduino->Preferences….
- On Windows, click File->Preferences
- On the Preferences Window, put the program into Additional Board Manager URLs filed.
- Open the Boards Manager by navigating to Tools-> Board-> Boards Manager. On the Boards Manager, search for esp8266. The result should return esp8266 by ESP8266 Community. Press the install button to install the necessary board configurations for the ESP8266-based Arduino boards.
- Install the amazing Arduino PubSubClient by Nick O’Leary. Just go to Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries… and look for PubSubClient.
- Then finally, install the Meeo Arduino Library. Just go to Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries… and look for Meeo.
- That’s it! Under File > Examples > Meeo > MeeoCrowtailBasic, you can play around with the project codes that you can do with your kit.
- To know more about Meeo, you can check our introduction here. All other articles can be found on Medium page.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IDE
- Short for Integrated Development Environment, a program used to write, run and manage code. It matters because some learners prefer a traditional coding workspace instead of a guided notebook-style lesson.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- MQTT
- A lightweight messaging protocol often used for IoT devices to publish and receive data through a server called a broker. It matters for home automation and sensor networks because it is simple, efficient, and widely supported.
- OLED
- OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, a display type where each pixel produces its own light. It matters because OLED screens are thin, high-contrast and easy to read for small status displays, but they can be more sensitive to image burn-in than some other display types.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
