Control ESP32 Arduino LED from IBM Watson IoT
Anthony Elder published a guide on developerWorks Recipes on how to "Build your own Watson controlled kettle" for ESP8266. This article's code is shamelessly ripped-off from him for broader usage. This guide will show how to turn on and turn off a LED connected with ESP32 Arduino from IBM Watson IoT platform. That "remote control" over the internet will be shown by using a simple bash scripts - … [Read more...]

ESP32 Arduino IBM Watson IoT Pulse Sensor Amped
In our previous two guides, we discussed how to create graph on IBM Watson IoT Dashboard, also provided code for DH11 sensor and in last guide how to use Pulse Monitor amped with ESP32 was shown with minimal theory. Here is Simple ESP32 Arduino IBM Watson IoT Pulse Sensor With Easy Coding and Default Graphing Widgets of IBM Watson IoT. It is important to realize that I am using a cheap China pulse … [Read more...]
How To Use IBM Cloud CDN and Cloud Object Storage
Previously we published various guides on Rackspace Cloud Files to use CDN and Cloud Object Storage for hosting static website to hosting jQuery powered video players. Lately, Rackspace Cloud Files has been very costly with a fixed per month fees for just having the account. We have similar guides on HP Cloud CDN (HP Public Cloud has been closed). Other CDNs like KeyCDN not exactly cost effective … [Read more...]
