Internet of Things
Perception+
Computation +
Networking
inside everyday objects
might be aware of location, people, objectsmight be on the Internet, might on totally private Net
might be stand-alone or use a “gateway”

Moore’s Law
the graph we are used to seeing

Moore’s Law, also
per-transistor cost of CPUs
![Page 15: Intro to the Arduino Entrepreneurial System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555952c1d8b42a93708b474b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Information Processing as
Material
1989: $900 2009: $0.4733 MHz, 20 MIPs 20 MHz, 20 MIPs
We are headed towards computation being a nil cost add-on

Arduino
■A microcontroller board
■A collection of add-ons (code & hardware)
■An open source application for Mac / Windows / Linux
■A community
What is it?
![Page 17: Intro to the Arduino Entrepreneurial System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555952c1d8b42a93708b474b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Arduino
■But most importantly, it is:
■a community-focused way of encouraging rapid-prototyping
What is it?
“What’s the quickest way to solve this problem?”
not:
“What’s the cheapest / smallest / most efficient way to solve this problem?”

Arduino Shields“shields” = stackable add-on boards
for sensors, actuators, communication, etc.
“317 shields from 125 makers, and counting!”

Arduino as aHardware Lingua
Franca■No need to know the
details for the common-case or to hack perturbations
■Use it as a way of describing product topologies
■If new tech exists, likely an Arduino example for it

Arduino + Hackerspaces
= Try Out Things Fast■Arduino provides a huge standardized repository
of extant code and hardware
■Hackerspaces provide tools, expertise, & friends to help out
■Using both you can rapidly iterate new ideas
■Rapid iteration necessary to experiment with latest Internet of Things technology
