Hands-On Edge Analytics with Azure IoT

Summary

A lot was covered in this chapter. We started by introducing MicroPython. We compared development with MicroPython to that with Arduino. We also took a look at some of the various microcontrollers that MicroPython is run on.

Our project involved using two separate microcontrollers communicating with each other via the LoRa communication protocol. The project demonstrated a simple edge analytics approach to control the temperature with a heater. The LoRa component of our project emphasized the power of edge analytics in situations where a strong or non-existent Wi-Fi signal exists. The main takeaway from this chapter is how an edge analytics approach may be used to solve a simple problem.

In our next chapter, we will introduce and ...
