Understanding Variable and Function Primitives with Particle IoT Development

Watch this video to learn how to create your first circuit using Particle’s 3rd-generation Argon device and the hardware included with every device kit.

IoT Projects often need to share the data they collect, or enable external systems to trigger actions. That’s the “I” in IoT, after all. To make connectivity easier, Particle provides a number of “primitives” in the built-in Device OS, including variables, functions and messaging with Particle publish and subscribe.

In the video above, walk through a simple project that shows you how to use the Particle Variable and Function primitives with a Particle Argon, and two Grove sensors (Grove Temperature & Humidity Sensor and the Grove Chainable RGB LED).

With the variable and function primitives, developers can access local device state, for instance, to retrieve the latest reading from a connected sensor, or call firmware functions to take action on the device, for instance, to turn on a light or move a servo. Because these primitives are mediated securely through the Particle Device Cloud, they can be accessed from other devices, the Particle console, or even in web and mobile applications.

The Particle Argon and out-of-the-box support for Particle Device Cloud provides everything you need to build Wi-Fi connected products. The Argon is a powerful Wi-Fi and mesh-ready development kit designed for IoT. Featuring the Nordic nRF52840 for mes hand Bluetooth communications, and the Espressif ESP32 for Wi-Fi, the Argon gives you powerful radio options and keeps battery consumption low.
