IoT Development Board Setup
After assembling the hardware and software, connect the development board to your computer through the USB cable. Your computer should automatically recognize the board and install any crucial drivers. If the drivers do not install automatically, manual installation may be required, particularly for boards specific to your needs.
First, verify the functionality of your chosen sample code or projects. You can do this by uploading the code using an IDE such as Arduino, PlatformIO, or the command line. It is important to adhere to the specific instructions provided by the development board manufacturer. Once the code is uploaded, ensure the onboard LEDs are lighting up, or other simple actions are occurring, confirming the hardware’s proper functionality. Achieve further expansion by integrating sensors, actuators, or cloud services.
