Securing the Internet of Things | #CyberSecurity #Coding #Arduino #IoT

Securing the Internet of Things | #CyberSecurity #Coding #Arduino #IoT | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Aside from cool cat feeders, it is possible to find multiple maker projects for controlling garage doors, blind windows, smart locks, tracking cars, control temperature and humidity levels, and so on. However, the security aspect of these devices needs to take some extra attention, starting from the connection between the device and the Cloud infrastructure.

 

Most microcontrollers today are not powerful enough to handle secure connections, like SSL or TLS, so all the communication between the device and the server is open to attacks, like sniffing values, tacking device credentials, faking values, granting unauthorized access to physical facilities, unlocking doors, and many other possibilities. This way, securing the communications for all the Internet-connected devices should be a priority, especially if they can jeopardize our security or privacy.

The security of the Internet of Things does not only rely on secure communications, but it is a great start. The maker community must be aware of the security concerns of untrusted communications, and must have the appropriate resources to handle it. This way it is common to see different alternatives to offer secure communications in the microcontrollers, like porting SSL/TLS libraries to cheap devices like ESP8266, or device vendors that already integrates a crypto chip that process all this stuff by hardware, like the recent Arduino MKR1000.

In thinger.io we are concerned about this security aspect, so our cloud supports secure connections for any device with this capability. In the recent Arduino library update, starting from version 2.4.1, we have introduced support for the Arduino MKR1000, including secure TLS connections by default. Just start with the following sample sketch for the MKR1000, and you will have encrypted connections by default.

Using a PIR w/Arduino | PIR Motion Sensor | Adafruit Learning System | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces

Reading PIR Sensors
Connecting PIR sensors to a microcontroller is really simple. The PIR acts as a digital output, it can be high voltage or low voltage, so all you need to do is listen for the pin to flip high (detected) or low (not detected) by listening on a digital input on your Arduino

Its likely that you'll want reriggering, so be sure to put the jumper in the H position!

Power the PIR with 5V and connect ground to ground. Then connect the output to a digital pin. In this example we'll use pin 2.

Cayenne IoT is fairly similar. It is necessary to pass through the servers of myDevices.com which can cause a small delay of latency (quality of Internet connection, server load …).

Guide for 8x8 Dot Matrix MAX7219 with Arduino | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces

Guide for 8x8 Dot Matrix MAX7219 with Arduino | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The dot matrix that we’re going to use in this guide is a 8×8 matrix which means that it has 8 columns and 8 rows, so it contains a total of 64 LEDs.

The MAX7219 chip makes it easier to control the dot matrix, by just using 3 digital pins of the Arduino board.

I think the best option is to buy the dot matrix with the MAX7219 chip as a module, it will simplify the wiring. You can check the dot matrix at Maker Advisor and find the best price.

You can control more than one matrix at a time. For that you just need to connect them to each other, as they have pins in both sides to extend the dot matrix.

Animating Multiple LED Backpacks | Adafruit Learning System

Animating Multiple LED Backpacks | Adafruit Learning System | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Adafruit LED backpacks make it incredibly simple to add small bitmapped displays to a project. Each requires just four wires: power, ground and two communication lines to a microcontroller.

Two common questions we receive:


How can I use more than one 8x8 matrix backpack in an Arduino sketch?


Can I have two (or more) matrices always showing the same image?


This tutorial demonstrates both.

We’ve had spooky Halloween displays on the brain lately, but the concepts here are equally applicable to more innocent schemes!

KidBright32 Board is Thailand's BBC Micro:Bit Equivalent | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces 

KidBright32 Board is Thailand's BBC Micro:Bit Equivalent | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

BBC Micro:Bit board was first announced in July 2015. Designed for STEM education, the board was then offered to UK schools in March 2016, and a few months later UK store would start selling it worldwide. It’s now available pretty much anywhere, and you can likely find it in a local store or online.

The Thai government must have seen this, and thought to themselves “If the British can do it, we can do it too!”, as the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) part of Thailand’s Ministry of Science and Technology designed KidBright32 board and courses to teach STEM to Thai students.

What will you make:

In this article, we will learn how to monitor temperature and humidity with your smartphone device, using a platform called Blynk. Blynk allows you to control Arduino, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi and other such boards through their iOS and Android apps. It provides an easy to use dashboard through which you can monitor various sensors and control actuators. If you are completely new to Blynk, checkout our Getting Started with Blynk guide.

Exchange any data between Blynk app and your hardware.

 

What is Virtual Pins
Exchange any data between Blynk app and your hardware
 

Virtual Pin is a concept invented by Blynk Inc. to provide exchange of any data between hardware and Blynk mobile app. 

Virtual pins are different than  Digital and Analog Input/Output (I/O) pins. They are physical pins on your microcontroller board where you connect sensors and actuators.

 

Blynk lets you control any hardware connected to Digital and Analog pins without having to write any additional code.

For example, if you need to turn On/Off LED connected to Digital pin, you don't have to write any code: 

  1. Just use BlynkBlink code for your hardware. 
  2. In the Blynk app - add Button Widget and set it to pin D8
  3. That's it! No additional code is required. Simply press Play in the app.

Controlling a MAX7219 dot led matrix module with an Arduino Nano | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces 

Controlling a MAX7219 dot led matrix module with an Arduino Nano | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

An 8×8 dot led matrix is a very interesting device because with proper instructions the individual leds or any group of leds can be programmed to fire. This characteristic, plus the feature that up to eight modules can be daisy chained, forms the basis for a nearly endless series of visual effects. Here we discuss the very basics of working with one MAX7219 dot led matrix module. A simple sketch is provided that creates a ‘smiley’ followed by a simulation of a bouncing ball.

DC Electronic Fuse Circuit Construction & Working | #Electronics #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces 

DC Electronic Fuse Circuit Construction & Working | #Electronics #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Fuse is a vital protection device for many electronic devices. They simply monitor the current consumed by the circuit/load and in the event of unsafe current flowing through the circuit the fuse will blow itself and thus prevent the load/circuit form getting damaged by that high current. This type of fuse is called a mechanical fuse and there are many types of fuse such as fast blow, slow blow etc, but they suffer from one common draw back. When a fuse is blown it has to be replaced by the consumer/operator to make the device function normal again. This is the reason why many old electronic devices like toaster or electric kettle had a spare fuse provided along with the product.

To overcome this drawback, most of the modern electronic devices use an Electronic Fuse. An Electronic Fuse serves the same purpose of that of a mechanical fuse but it requires no replacement. It has a power electronic switch inside with closes and opens the circuit as required. In the unlikely event of a failure the switch is open the circuit and isolate it from the power supply, once the favorable condition returns the fuse can be reset by just clicking on a button. There is no hassle of purchasing a suitable value of fuse and replacing it for the old one. Interesting right?!! So, In this tutorial we will learn how to construct an Electronic Fuse circuit, how it works and how you could use one in your designs.
