The Yún has a number of built-in capabilities for networking, but some of the most exciting
aspects are working with other online platforms. Arduino has partnered with
Temboo
to make
connecting to your favorite services easy as possible. Temboo provides normalized access to
100+ APIs from a single point of contact allowing you to mix and match data coming from
multiple platforms (for example Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare but even FedEx or PayPal).
There are a number of examples in the
File > Examples > Bridge > Temboo
folder, these are a
great place to get started working with your Yún in the cloud. you can learn more about the
integration of Temboo and Arduino on the
Temboo getting started pages
.
Spacebrew
Spacebrew is "a simple way to connect interactive things to one another." It relies on a
client/server model and uses WebSockets to communicate between the two. It runs a custom
webserver on the Yún in python that allows for easy communication.
There are a number of examples for Spacebrew on the Yún included in the software. For more
on Spacebrew, see the
project documentation pages
.
Install additional software on Linux
The Yún comes with several pieces of software pre-installed on Linino, including "curl" and
"python". You may want to install other software on the Yún. On Linux systems, additional
software can be installed using a tool called the "package management system". For more
information, refer to the
package manager tutorial
.
Next Steps
Now that you've gotten the basics down, you can dig in deeper with the
Bridge library and
examples
. You can also check out the
