1. So you want to
connect your stuff to the internet!

2. Good News is

3. Bad news is

4. Unlike open source software, open source hardware still need money

5. More skills is needed

6. Replicator? Not there yet.

7. While this won’t happen.

8. This is a very real danger(the house not the girl)

9. Commercialization means

10. Help is available!

14. Lets start

15. Microcontroller!
● Read input from sensor
● Output to somewhere.
● programmable

16. Why not a computer
● GPIO Limit
○ Smaller voltage
○ Fewer pins
● Did I tell you it sucked at reading analog

17. How about cell phone?
● You can’t easily add more sensor easily
● To add sensor to phone you
○ a microcontroller to
○ USB interface (ftdi)
○ Sensor
○ Maybe battery

18. Many available
● Arduino
● raspberry pi
● pcduino
● beaglebone
● PIC
● etc

19. Arduino….
● This is the one I work on a lot, Sorry :-(

20. The arduino

21. These are arduino too!

22. Specification is released

23. You can make it on a breadboard!

24. Have a nice community

25. Easy to use software

26. Easy to experiment

27. What not so cool
● Not the most powerful around
● Only limited to C/C++
● Some of the recent design not so open

28. Example project
● http://blog.safecast.org/
● https://www.ardusat.org/
● http://reprap.

● etc

29. Lets Talk Component

30. Where to get components!
Online shop! Go to the earlier slide
p.s pasar road is good too, the experience
varies from people to people

31. You can get premade component

32. There is also shield to make prototyping easy

33. Some Pre-assembled one.

34. To use pre-assembled component
1. Find if someone already use it!
2. If not start here. Read data sheet
3. Understand what you have
4. Find out any extra component needed
5. Now connect it

35. The internet part
● You essentially have interface to the world
● Provide
○ API to read/write
○ used by device
○ UI to explore data
● 2 main one
○ Xively
○ thingspeak, it’s open source!

36. Xively

37. This is my project

38. Get the software part here
● https://gist.github.com/sweemeng/9663343
● https://xively.com/feeds/1068165020

39. What next
● Go on and explore!
● Make stuff, anything!
○ Except killer robot that attack human
● I did not do a lot of stuff. But there is a lot
more people done!
●

40. Idea
● Maybe we can map out pollution in KL ;-)
● A christmas light that light up with more
facebook like?
● Get more inspiration on learning page
