Demonstration of Drogue IoT using Node.js
Posted on August 25, 2022, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
The goal of the Drogue IoT project is to make it easy to connect devices to cloud-based applications. This article will demonstrate how to implement firmware in Rust based on Drogue's device support. This way, a device can communicate with the cloud using the low power LoRaWAN protocol. We will also illustrate how Node.js handles the server side. By Daniel Bevenius.

Elixir like a local
Posted on August 22, 2022, Level advanced Resource Length short
