Discovering the Temboo platform
To interact with web services from the Arduino MKR1000 board, the easiest thing to do is to use a platform that will make the connection between the board and the web services themselves.
The first platform of this kind that we are going to use in this chapter is the Temboo platform, which was the platform recommended by Arduino when their first IoT product (the Arduino Yun) came out. We'll see how easy it is to create an account there and how to use it to connect to a lot of web services.
Getting ready
- The first step is to create a Temboo account. To do so, simply visit https://temboo.com/.
- You should then be able to create an account and log in:
- After that, you will be able to explore the Temboo libraries to interact with other web services, which are called Choreos:
- You can now click on a given Choreo to see what kinds of interactions are available. For example, this is the Disqus Choreo:
- For example, this is what you will see if you click on one possible...
