Robotics Sensor Station IoT
Cloud Computing
In the next chapter we want to show you how
to work with a cloud. The objective is for you
to control the “Sensor Station with Movable
Camera” model via a cloud connection.
But what does “Cloud” or “Cloud Computing”
actually mean?
What does computing have to do with “clouds”? The term means that
an IT infrastructure is made available to a user as a service. This can be
user software, computing power or memory space. It also means that
the IT infrastructure can be installed at the service provider’s, rather than
locally on your computer.
Project 3
The objective is to connect the sensor station to the cloud and
display the data there on the dashboard. Any motion detected by
the camera triggers an alarm.
Before you can start the program, you first have to connect to a cloud,
similar to connecting to your WiFi router. The next steps show you how
to proceed.
