LED blink circuit using BoltIOT -
Now take a quick look to the product we received. So here is the main bolt module, which will be used to transmit the data to cloud. Also you can see some other circuit components like – resistor, transistor, buzzer and LED. Inside the box we also get two stickers from Bolt IOT.
Bolt IOT Module -
Now take a quick look to the Bolt module. In this module, you will get the GPIO pins, which will be used for collecting digital or analog data. Now let’s make a circuit using this module.
BoltIOT Circuit Connection -
At first take one bread board and connect the jumper wires in the bread board. Then connect one LED in the bread board. Now take the other end of the jumper wires and connect with the A0 and Ground pin of the bolt module. For better understanding, you can also refer the circuit diagram shown on the screen. Once the circuit is ready, connect the bolt module with any power adapter. Finally you can see the blue light is glowing slowly.
BoltIOT and Cloud Setup -
The next step is to connect the bolt module with cloud. For this you have to download the Bolt application from play store and then follow the steps I have done here. Copy the password and open wifi. Then connect it with Bolt wifi. Once it is connected the LED will blink faster. Now you can use your house broadband connection to connect the module with cloud. Now you can see the active symbol, shown in my phone screen. Also in the other side the green LED in the module is glowing, which means the Bolt module is connected to cloud.
Now open your laptop and visit www.cloud.boltiot.com. Once you sign up with your account, you will see the device which are active. Now to create a new project, you have to create a new product. So click on product, then add new product. Now provide a product name, set the pin type, and click on ok. Once you created the product, click on the customization symbol. In the first page you can give some description of your project. Now, here you have to provide the variable names to your GPIO pins, that are used in circuit. And in the last section you have to do the coding.
Bolt IOT has already provided us with a demo project and today I will show you, how to implement that project. Click on this button and then it will take you into a new page. Here you can see the buttons for LED on and off. Click on the buttons and the circuit will start working.
