The Arduino Connector allows your device to connect to the Arduino Cloud, and push and receive message through the MQTT protocol. You can see and control all your cloud-enabled devices via a web app called My Devices.
Follow the Getting Started guides to install the connector and allow your devices to communincate with the cloud via Arduino Create. You can install the connector onto a Up2 board or a generic Intel-based platform running Linux.
The Arduino Connector gets installed on a device and does the following things:
- Connects to MQTT using the certificate and key generated during installation
- Starts and Stops sketches according to the received commands from MQTT
- Collects the output of the sketches in order to send them on MQTT
The Arduino Connector is tied to a specific device registered within the Arduino Cloud. The getting started guide does everything for you.
