Build Your Own IoTshirt - Jo Franchetti (Ably Realtime)

/ infobipshift Remember tshirts that changed color with temperature? Now we can build ones that change with any data input! It could be the music you’re listening to, the weather, texts from your friends… We’ll cover how to make a flexible, Wifi enabled, LED display and make it respond to a data stream. We'll talk about how to connect a microprocessor to wifi and how to use the MQTT protocol, a small amount of C (for the microprocessor) and some JavaScript to connect it up to a realtime data stream. For our talk demo, the data will be coming from the audience using a web app that allows them to select pixels on the tshirt and change their colour. All hardware hacking experience welcome, none required! The aim of the talk is to demystify hardware for software developers and to encourage everyone to give IoT a try.
