Application for integrating microcontrollers to Internet of Things

摘要

Internet was introduced to the common people over two decades ago and over the years we have witnessed its massive growth into the mass population through personal computers, laptops and cell phones. Until recently, the Internet was a commodity of the people, i.e. end users of the Internet were primarily humans. In the past few years we have witnessed that the end users of the Internet are no longer only people but devices as well. With the advent of IPv6 addressing, it is possible to connect countless devices to the Internet with unique IP addresses. Thus scientists and engineers have been able to hookup all kinds of devices to the Internet, a concept known as Internet of Things (IoT). Another domain of recent interest is the use of microcontrollers to build various home and laboratory projects. In this paper we propose a model that will allow home grown engineers as well as professional engineers to easily control their microcontroller based devices globally via Internet.
