Hardware for IoT - Microcontrollers and Microcomputers

Image
Internet of Things (IoT) is a topic that involves automating or controlling (not only) households from intelligent devices. Under the term IoT, it is possible to imagine everything around us that communicates in some way, and it is possible to acquire information, manage and know about these devices, such as whether they are turned off or turned on. This is your television, your computer, washing machine, mp3 player, appliances, sockets, lights. Their data must be sent to the network by hardware if they do not have a certain connectivity or if they do not support the IoT standard. As a hardware we can use a chip or a minicomputer that performs this function. Consequently, these devices can be managed with the hardware that they can communicate with the device and then send these device values / statuses to the IoT network gateway. In this article you can read about the most famous IoT hardware platforms, but most of the hardware is only used for local projects without having to conne

Web application for user hardware

I've been looking for something to find in webtechnologies, which will allow me to get interesting information about the user's computer. I needed something on the client-side. After a tedious search, I used Javascript for common things like operating system, resolving, browser. I have also encountered WebGL technology that works exclusively under Chrome, but it offers a deeper view of the user's computer. WebGL can detect the depth of the color buffer, the number of processor cores, including virtual ones, the name of the DirectX graphics card. The application utilizes a total of 8 javascript files that allow you to obtain this specific information about the client's hardware. The web app also works on Android smartphones. Note the interesting thing that computers have a 24-bit buffer and Android phones 32-bit. Where does this application have use? Internet contests for the most powerful graphics card, player rankings based on graphics card and processor cores, O
