While we digest the foie gras and meditate on global warming, let’s pay with the Arduino 101.
Moneypenny the new virtual assistant by Facebook with "real people"?
Today, I’ll try to run the basic Analog/Digital examples, but also focus on the Inertial Monitoring Unit (IMU) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Now that the software is up-to-date and link established, let’s try a simple example, “blink”.
It’s compiling the code, then uploading over the USB cable to the board. After a few second, the LED on the board should blink. You may want to change the period in the source core and compile-upload to see the difference.
Blinking the LED was OK, now let’s try to plug some sensors. Today, I’m using the Grove Starter Kit Plushttp://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Grove-starter-kit-plus-Intel-IoT-Edition-for-Intel-Galileo-Gen-2-and-Edison-p-1978.html First plug the extension shield on the Arduino 101.
I’ll start with something simple: using an analog input like a potentiometer (“rotary angle sensor”) and read the values in real time.
You can now see values changing in real time as you turn the potentiometer.
Some sensors are analog, others are digital. The sensor manufacturer will tell if your sensor is analog or digital and how to use them.
When you upload and open a serial monitor, you’ll see 0 if you don’t touch the sensor and 1 if you do. It’s a binary digital sensor.
Because the Arduino 101 is using the Intel Curie module, you have an Inertial Monitoring Unit (IMU) included. No need for a shield and additional sensors, it’s part of the Intel Curie module.
No need to use a shield, just load the “RawIMUDataSerial” example, upload, open a serial monitor and move the board. You’ll see the 6 degrees of freedom values corresponding to acceleration and gyroscope.
Bluetooth Low Energy is also included thanks to the Intel Curie module. No need for an additional BLE dongle! And it’s simple to use, too.
Load the “BatteryMonitor” example and plug an analog input like the potentiometer to A0. This code will take the input from the potentiometer and send it as a Bluetooth Low Energy message as a battery level. In BLE, you have message profiles for typical information like battery level or heart rate.
OK, we have the Arduino 101 paired with our Windows laptop. What’s next ?
But it also packs very interesting technologies like the IMU and BLE.
It makes the Arduino 101 a great platform to learn, but also a very powerful platform for professionals to prototype and prepare a connected IoT solution very quickly. When your prototype is working with Arduino 101, you can design a custom product using Intel Curie. It will be the same chip, same wireless as Arduino. Easier, faster, cheaper path from prototyping to production.
Yes you can say it. They are making fun of us.
