ARDUINO! Let’s talk about
Why are developers cuckoo for arduino?
SIMPLE API

HELLO WORLD “ ”
Download the IDE http://arduino.cc/en/main/software
Wire up a LED
Blink 1: Arduino int led = 13; void setup() {
pinMode(led, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(led, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(led, LOW); delay(1000); }
Prototyping in C, Hey kids! is totally fun and easy.

Friends don’t let Friends PROGRAM IN C.
THE INTERNETS? How do I talk to “ ”
#include <Ethernet.h> #include <SPI.h> EthernetClient client; String data = '{"foo":"bar"}';
void setup() { Ethernet.begin({0x90,0xA2,0xDA,0x00,0x55,0x8D}); } void loop() { if (client.connect("www.someapi.com",80)) { client.println("POST /api/v1/endpoints HTTP/1.1"); client.println("Host: www.someapi.com"); client.println("Content-Type: application/json"); client.print("Content-Length: "); client.println(data.length()); client.println(); client.print(data); client.println(); } }
