IoT, in short for Internet of Things is a modern technology that’s revolutionizing the electronics landscape. With more applications combing onboard, it provides endless possibilities for what one can build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
List of simple IoT projects to try:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore I begin, I want to introduce Wio, a platform with its products that are designed to create solutions in an easier way. It allows for developing without having to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Solder<\/li>
- Use jump wires<\/li>
- Know what’s electric engineering<\/li>
- Know Micro-controller programming<\/li>
- Know Network programming <\/li>
- Know IoT protocols handling<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Some of my recommended projects are build via Wio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
