When IoT Really Is a Challenge
0Open source hardware, rapid prototyping, public code repositories and enthusiastic engineers are crucial for the evolution of the Internet of Things.
Challenges approached from a different perspective can bring innovative solutions that improve efficiency of industries and enhance our quality of life. The Eclipse Open IoT Challenge is an initiative that encourages this innovation, by looking for new ideas and concepts around the world.
I decided to take part in the competition just a few hours before the deadline. With little knowledge about electronics and hardware prototyping, I started the implementation of my project… This talk presents the IoT journey of someone who entered the Open IoT Challenge as a complete IoT “newbie”, and how open source and open standards helped me along the way—I won the contest!
