Create Mobile Apps for Android and iOS Connecting to the MKR

MKR1000 is a powerful board that combines the functionality of the Zero and the Wi-Fi Shield. It’s based on the Atmel ATSAMW25 that is part of the SmartConnect family of Atmel Wireless devices, specifically designed for IoT. It offers the ideal solution for makers seeking to add Wi-Fi connectivity with minimal previous experience in networking.

Evothings Studio is a mobile application enabler for the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). It’s really interesting technology to simplify the development process and fun to make apps in using Web Technologies, instead of native languages, is also great to connect faster our cloud services platform to the mobile Apps.

This simple project shows how to make an app that controls an Arduino MKR1000 board with Evothings Studio, by communicating over the TCP networking protocol.

What you Need

This example runs in Evothings Viewer on Android or iOS.

You need to run this example in Evothings Viewer. Alternatively, you can build a Cordova application if you wish to distribute the app. You then need to include the Cordova plugin org.chromium.socket. Read more in the documentation of the Evothings Viewer.

For the Arduino setup, you need:

• MKR1000
• LED
• Resistor 100 Ohm

How to Get up and Running

Follow these steps to get started with this example:

1.       Wire up the Arduino MKR1000 board.
