Hello everyone,
Continuing from my previous introduction of the Realtek RTL8195 development board, I would like to inform everyone of a new service provided along with the board.
AmebaIoT development board users are now able to register for a free cloud-based MQTT broker service at
https://www.amebaiot.com/en/. MQTT is a message passing protocol commonly used in connecting internet of things (IoT) devices together, allowing the devices to send and receive data to achieve the desired actions. Follow the guide
here to register for your own MQTT broker service to test your applications.
Realtek's RTL8195 Ameba-1 development board is an IoT-ready MCU powered by a ARM Cortex-M3 core. It is specially designed to be pin-compatible with the Arduino UNO, can be programmed using the Arduino IDE and supports most of the Arduino base examples and expansion boards. It includes support for many useful features targeted for IoT projects, such as:
WiFi
Low-Power mode
USB host
USB camera support
NFC
I2S for audio
To get started with using MQTT, you can follow the basic example guide
here for the RTL8195 development board. This example uses the MQTT protocol to allow for control of an LED over the internet. Source code for the example can be found at
AmebaIoT's GitHub repository.
A
YouTube video guide for this example is also provided for those who prefer watching more than reading.
Thanks for reading.
