Mongoose OS Installation on ESP8266 and GPIO Access

mongoose OS

This video is around ESP8266 module and how to flash mongoose OS to it.It also demonstrates some basic GPIO programming using javascript.Mongoose OS claims as an Operating System for commercial connected products with features like Security, OTA Updates, Remote Management. As Arduino framework is not reliable to run in production environment its a good alternative with  Arduino compatibility layer that allows using existing Arduino drivers for prototyping. It is both C/C++ ready for production and  JavaScript is for fast prototyping on the target hardware. The JS API calls C API.…

OpenHAB: Installation on Windows for Home Automation

OpenHAB on Windows

OpenHAB is a vendor and technology agnostic open source automation software for making home automation easier. This video is around how to get started with OpenHAB 2. In fact, this is going to be a series of video around it as I have completely shifted towards OpenHAB for my home automation system. Earlier actually I was using my own automation system built on PHP, JAVA, and MongoDB and it was becoming hard for me to manage that and so I thought of getting into already existing automation system and with…

Firmata with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

Firmata is a protocol that is used to communicate with microcontrollers from any tablet/pc over the serial interface. There are implementations of this for other platforms too along with Arduino. You can find support for this if you are using any Arduino IDE released after 2008.Use of this protocol lets you access GPIO of Arduino from any host device natively without uploading the sketch each time you change the sketch. You can use Arduino as ADC for your Pi as it doesn’t have native ADC pins, you can also interface…
