![]() It may not work for all cases but for small systems that do processing at the node and send data to an aggregator :perfect.īut surely at some point - SOMEONE has to get drivers for the processor up and runnning? someone has to get libraries included, compiling, and more importantly thoroughly debugged. i can write, edit, trace directly over the bluetooth or wifi serial port emulator. no stinking wires no stinking serial port. i don't need no stinking compiler, no stinking debugger, no stinking ide, no stinking jtag dongle. Development tools needed : a computer with a terminal program. including network protection and encryption. the whole program is barely 30 lines of code. hardware cost : 4 to 5$ Development time : open i2c port, read bytes, send them through json packager and blast them into a socket instance. ![]() let's look at a few things: - development time - development tools - cost of the hardware i can do it with an epsressif ESP32 ( 180 MHz SOC with wif and bluetooth embedded ) and a bosh BM280 environmental sensor. ![]() scatter 20 of these things around a building. hook up a temperature/humidity/voc sensor. Here is a nice task to do : pick a cpu, slap on wifi and bluetooth. All the annoying crap nobody wants to deal with is already handled. The nice thing is that micropython comes with a full blown networking stack, encryption and the whole hoopla.
