What is it?

Single board Microcontroller

8-bit Atmel AVR or 32-bit Atmel ARM

UNO offers 6 analog input pins

14 digital I/O pins

Initial release in 2005

Where did it come from?Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea, Italy

Looking for a cheaper solutions for their students

Built the platform using open source tools in less than a year

I was hooked after my first program

Sample of BoardsMega

Uno

Due

LilyPad Total of 16 official boards produced...

Why is it popular?Easy - Programmed based on a language called Wiring

Cheap - clones can now be bought for $9 or less

Low energy - .1 watt

Durable - fanless, little to no heat

Open source - schemas are all online and free

Makes it excellent for prototyping!

Internet of ThingsTerm goes back 1999

Born from areas of M2M, but now connections are online!

Increased in popularity as NFC, Bar/QR Codes evolved

ABI estimates 30 billion connected devices by 2020

Devices are connected by BLE, Wifi (6LoWPAN), Cellular

Driven by lower costs of Sensors, HW Networks and Cloud

Internet of ThingsEnvironmental Monitoring - Atmospheric Conditions

Infrastructure Management - Repair & Safety

Industrial Applications - Productivity

Medical and Healthcare - Healthy Living

Building / Home Automation - Convenience & Power Saving

Transportation Systems - Safety

Internet of ThingsLots of measurement today. Final stage of IoT is where the network adjusts and takes action

Still in the early days, but IoT is happening today! Look at your power meter and manufacturing companies

Consortiums are forming today with Google, Intel, Microsoft

Number of cloud and hardware companies are being acquired by larger players.

Internet of Things

Billion dollar companies are being started in garages and at user groups today.

Arduino and IoT

Partnerships with Intel SoC ( Galileo Project )

IoT is all about measuring things. Arduino is positioned to help everyone do this.
