Rapid IoT Development with the relayr Android App and SDK

Relayr is an IoT platform as a service, aiming to help IoT developers centralize and aggregate the data generated by IoT connected devices. By installing their hardware and software SDKs you don't need to worry about specific SDKs and data types generated by various devices, but instead code against the Relayr APIs.

PHP, Arduino And… Minecraft? Combining Minecraft with PHP!

IoTWeek_Gray

It's IoT Week at SitePoint! All week we're publishing articles focused on the intersection of the internet and the physical world, so keep checking the IoT tag for the latest updates.

Some of the most interesting programming I've done has been in Minecraft. It's an open-world, sandbox game developed by Mojang, (recently acquired by Microsoft). Minecraft began as a canvas for creative expression, and while I do very different things in it these days, it still is that for me.

I'm going to take you on a journey, as we build a Minecraft mansion, and then secure it with a real-world alarm system. There's quite a bit of ground to cover, and though I plan for this to be a two-part series, I'm going to have to leave some of the tangential details for you to discover!

Crash Course in Minecraft Programming

Minecraft began as the combination of two simple ideas. The first is that players can harvest resources from the map in which they find themselves. Some of these resources, like food and wood, are common above ground. Others, like gold and stone, require a bit of virtual elbow-grease.

This is where the "mine" (in Minecraft) comes from. One of these resources is called Redstone. It's found deep underground, and it's a conductor of sorts. When harvested and placed on the ground, it resembles the silvery lines on the flip side of circuit boards. There are also power emitters, similar to batteries or mains power, which take many forms in the game.

Using these harvested resources, players can build dwellings, cook food and even wire up virtual circuitry. This is where the "craft" comes from.

I talk about all of this, as well as basic circuitry and programming, in my conference talk Zombies and Binary. I presented it most recently at php[tek] 2016, but the recording was lost. Here's a JavaScript-themed version, from FluentConf 2016: https://youtu.be/APJRBZUxADQ.
