Unit 1. IOT

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects—“things”—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet. Smart Home is a great case using IoT.

1.1 Where can we find the IoT of VinciBot?

1.2 The MUST-Do Step:

Enter the 2.4G wifi name and the password of your environment.If you want to make sure if the network is connected? The subprogram could be used.

1.3 Two Main Fuctions of IoT for Nous

Call the current air quality, temperature, as well as the sunrise or sunset time of a certain location from the Internet.

When VinciBot A created a topic, all other VinciBots could join the topic. They all can broadcast a certain message or receive messages on the topic. Thus, they could communicate with each other. A typical case using this function is group control.

Unit 2. Bluetooth Controller

There is one Bluetooth Controller, which is an add-on package for both VinciBot & Nous.

Unit 3. Matata Arcade

Matata Arcade is designed to let us design games on the Nous Screen.
