2014 is almost over, and one of the first big events for Eclipse IoT next year will be EclipseCon 2015, March 9-12 in Burlingame, California.

Eclipse IoT by the numbers

Wednesday, November 12, 2014 - 14:33 by Benjamin Cabé

Three years ago, Sierra Wireless, IBM and Eurotech teamed up to create a Working Group that would help address Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) market fragmentation by promoting the use of open source implementations and open standards.

It’s incredible how much our community has grown since then, and I thought I would put together the infographic below to make it more visual. Feel free to share it, and visit the Eclipse IoT portal to learn more about the initiative.

MQTT on the TI CC3200 LaunchPad thanks to Paho embedded client

Tuesday, August 26, 2014 - 06:33 by Benjamin Cabé

What I really like with MQTT and CoAP is that they both are very simple protocols. When dealing with MQTT, the client itself has almost no state to maintain (at least when you stick to QoS 0 communications) and granted that you have an MQTT packet serializer/unserializer, it’s very simple to stuff such MQTT packets into TCP sockets using the networking APIs that your IoT microcontroller is providing.

How to setup Eclipse for Android Wear development

Thursday, July 3, 2014 - 18:06 by Benjamin Cabé

Last week at Google I/O, the Android Wear platform was officially launched, together with two smart watches from LG and Samsung.

I wanted to play around with the new APIs for Wear devices for an upcoming blog post on how to use MQTT with you smart watch, but I had to do a few things to properly set up my environment, and I thought I’d share

Powering EclipseCon France with IoT magic

Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - 10:56 by Benjamin Cabé

In just about a week is EclipseCon France, and here’s one more reason why it’s going to be awesome! This year you will all be actors of a real-world Internet of Things setup, that leverages several Eclipse IoT technologies.

We have to great IoT events in Toulouse this week!

IoT Toulouse meetup

The recently created IoT Toulouse meetup group will have its first event tomorrow, Tuesday 13.

Turning a toy robot into an IoT device with Eclipse technologies

Friday, May 2, 2014 - 11:47 by Benjamin Cabé

The Rapiro is a nice open-hardware robot, controlled by an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi.

Earlier this week, I decided that he’d be nice if I could run Eclipse Orion directly on the robot, allowing me to write an app that would bridge the Rapiro to the Internet (there’s a WiFi dongle attached to the RaspberryPi so the robot does have Internet access), using MQTT.

New sandbox servers for IoT developers

Monday, April 21, 2014 - 10:12 by Benjamin Cabé

The most difficult aspect of developing an IoT solution is probably that one has to deal with the –embedded– hardware that will eventually run the application that talks to the sensors, thermostats, car entertainment, etc. Embedded is definitely complex: the resources are limited, the development tooling usually sets you back a decade, etc.

Videos of “IoT Theme Day” at #EclipseCon 2014

Friday, April 4, 2014 - 05:16 by Benjamin Cabé

On March 19, we were very lucky to host a great IoT event during EclipseCon 2014.
I think everybody in the room that day learnt a lot about the current challenges for IoT, and our speakers really did a good job at presenting the challenges for building an open, interoperable, and secure Internet of Things.
