The DragonConnect project demonstrates recording events originating from the DragonBoard™ and managing an LED. The events are generated by pressing the volume up and volume down keys on the DragonBoard™. When one of the buttons is pressed, a client application written using the Amazon IoT C SDK for embedded platforms uses MQTT to transfer the event to an Amazon data center where it is stored in a DynamoDB table.
The LED is managed through the General Purpose IO (GPIO) of the DragonBoard™ and uses AWS IoT Device Shadows.
The functionality of DragonConnect and how the application is configured is detailed. The documentation includes information on how to execute the client and visit the dashboard.
Please have the following information available:
- Amazon Account Number - (https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home#/account)
- Stage - Amazon API Gateway deploys to a stage, so it must be specified, By default 'dev' is used. (http://arrowelectronics.github.io/aws-iot-dragonconnect-c/admin/api.html)
- S3 Identifier - S3 is used to host the client, it would be best to give it something unique. By default the last 5 characters of the machine id is used. (http://arrowelectronics.github.io/aws-iot-dragonconnect-c/admin/dashboard.html)
After the setup has completed, there are a few urls that are provided. Please make note of them: AWS Endpoint, AWS API Gateway, and Dashboard
