Developing IoT Projects, Visually
Unlike most other IoT platforms, Digi-Key IoT Studio is code-less - all sensor interaction and storage is done automatically by the drag-and-drop IDE. You do not need to install toolchains, code editors or compile any code on your computer! Digi-Key Studio runs in your web browser, handles all aspects of developing an Internet-of-Things project, and even compiles your code remotely.
IoT projects involve programming firmware into a device, sending data from a device to "the cloud" and then interacting with the data and device using a website or application. Digi-Key IoT Studio comprises of three workspaces which simplify development:
- Embedded Workspace to build logic which runs on your device.
- Application Workspace to design, build, and program an application for your device.
- Cloud Workspace to construct flows for sending data to the free DK IoT Studio Cloud or Amazon Web Service.
This high-level integration is possible because IoT Studio has built in support for a range of transport boards, and sensors. Note that not all boards and devices are supported - lucky for us, there’s plenty of Adafruit products supported, including our series favorites: the ESP32 Feather and the Analog Devices FeatherWing.
However, instead of just a simple temperature sensor data logger, we’ll make a complete home automation system that you can follow along by picking up our IoT Studio Kit.
