Amazon’s Alexa is cool. USB fans are cool. Alexa enabled USB fan, even cooler. This fan turns on with a voice command to an Amazon Alexa device, “Alexa, turn [insert your name here]’s fan on”. The fan is also set to turn off automatically after 45minutes (adjustable through code). The weather has been hot lately
A project using the AmazonDRS library for WiFi101 connected Arduinos. Just like the AWS IoT button, but completely open source! Things used in this project Story TL;DR; Buy some stuff on Amazon by clicking a pushbutton connected to your WiFi101 enabled Arduino. It’s like a Dash button, but cooler! Motivation Back in the Spring of
Many of our clients face a common challenge when undertaking IoT projects. They are experts in their own fields, and most of of them have a great idea, a proof-of-concept (PoC), or a sophisticated algorithm that addresses some specific need. They have simulated their solution in Matlab or Python and are eager to build and
