IOT Wifi with ElecFreaks Bit

This component allows you to demonstrate simple Internet of Things projects with your microbit by connecting it to WiFi and sending event messages or data (e.g. temperature readings at regular intervals) to web service hooks such as on IFTTT or ThingSpeak.

Sample project code to trigger an event webhook on IFTTT

  • Note: you will first need to sign up for a free IFTTT account and create a webhook which will provide you with a web key and also an event code for that particular webhook which together are inserted into the sample URL shown in the code here
  • For example you might create a simple webhook to 'send me an email' based on a webhook trigger. A more sophisticated example would capture a reading from a microbit sensor and save it to a google spreadsheet.
