Loom

Project Loom & The Internet of Things (IoT) | Updates | Github

Overview

Loom is an IoT development framework implemented as an Arduino Library. It aims to help creators working within the Arduino environment get their devices up and running as quickly as possible, and with as little additional programming as possible. It accomplishes this through a top-level manager class that automates all common device functions.

Objectives

• Design a "plug and play" sensor/actuator system
• Simple enough for K-12 students and non-technical users to use
• Extensible and programmable enough for engineers to customize
• Create a wide variety of applications by simply connecting modular components
• Make the system wireless, low-power, low latency
• Configure all sensors and actuators on a wireless network using an intuitive graphical user interface
• Interact with data and control signals on a network in realtime
• Make data transmitted from local and remote locations available instantly from anywhere around the world
