Previously we discussed basics around MicroPython and also configured to run MicroPython via IDE. Here is ESP32 MicroPython Setup with Adafruit Ampy for Windows, MacOS X and Linux. You need Python needs to be running and install few tools. An important note for this guide is to use the default command line tool for installation of Python packages such as Command Prompt for Microsoft Windows (do … [Read more...]

ESP32 Arduino : What is SPI Flash File System (SPIFFS)
The SPI Flash File System or SPIFFS is a light-weight file system for microcontrollers with an SPI flash chip. A flash file system is designed for storing files on flash memory–based storage devices optimized for the particular system. SPI stands for Serial Peripheral Interface. Flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage that is electrically eraseable and rewriteable. Flash memory is a kind … [Read more...]
How to Send Data from Arduino to MySQL Database
In our recent past discussions, we have send data from ESP32 Arduino to IBM Watson IoT by either using MQTT or by using HTTP POST. In the same way, we have discussed how with CouchDB we can send data from ESP32 Arduino. Also, we have discussed different types of cloud database for IoT. MySQL is widely used database for PHP driven web applications. We can send data from Arduino, ESP32 to MySQL … [Read more...]
HTTP vs MQTT for IoT Devices
Regular readers definitely noticed that in our IBM Watson IoT example codes for ESP32 Arduino, we have used both MQTT and HTTP. Also we talked about HTTP POST method. HTTP POST is easy, is not it? It is really easy to write code for Arduino to construct HTTP POST request. Because all of us more or less used with HTTP based API and cURL. It will appear that as MQTT is complex and HTTP is better to … [Read more...]
InfluxDB vs CouchDB for IoT Backend
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database with restricted features with support for processing data from Graphite. CouchDB purely a free software. InfluxDB is quite different from CouchDB. InfluxDB supports SQL style query. InfluxDB accepts data via HTTP, TCP, and UDP and directly supports Grafana. If you use TIG Stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana), within half an hour you'll get … [Read more...]
Which Cloud Databases Can Be Used for Internet-of-Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is delivering new challenges for data management and analysis. There are different NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, CouchDB, Redis. Although both SQL and NoSQL databases are viable for IoT data, different NoSQL databases considered for practical reasons. Various studies have checked database performance of different databases under workloads and it is concluded that … [Read more...]
HTTP/3 : The Next Protocol After HTTP/2 and HTTP
The word HTTP/3 will astonish many as HTTP/2 yet not widely adapted (34% world adoption rate). HTTP/3 or HTTP-over-QUIC is the next protocol after HTTP/2 and HTTP 1. HTTP/3 will be a combination of SSL and TCP. HTTP/3 will use QUIC for transport. HTTP/3 will be the third major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol and based on previous RFC draft "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over QUIC". … [Read more...]
