I recently received an MXCHIP IoT DevKIT and I experimented the Azure connectivity functions available in the Arduino library for this platform.
The "DevKit -Get Started" section of the github gives detailed description of each step:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-iot-workbench/blob/master/docs/iot-devkit/devkit-get-started.md
I'll summarize the actions I had to perform to establish an MQTT exchange between my MXCHIP board and Azure IoT Hub:
I first installed two tools on my machine:
- Ardunio IDE
- Visual Studio Code
VS Code contains all specific entries required to handle Azure functions, which are not in the Arduino IDE, moreover it is a pretty efficient IDE compared to Arduino.
Two extensions must be installed in VS Code: "Azure IoT Workbench" and "Arduino". Then the specific platform for the MX board must be installed from Arduino Board manager.
At this point I had all the tools to build and run the GetStarted applicat ...
The last leg, of 8, of the world Build tour was held in Sydney this week. What can I say .. it was great. A lot of new and coming Creators features were covered, Insight into the latest Windows technologies was dished out. Here are some of the highlights and summary links.
In the previous blog in this series, using Flash for non-volatile program data was covered. One aspect of this was the F( ) macro that enables Serial.print/println strings to be accessed from Flash where the program is stored. That is, they do not consume RAM space allowing for more volatile programming space. This blog compares using and not using the F( ) macro. In the Telemetry sketch this allows for nearly double the number of name-value pairs
