Software apps and online services

Clouding.io
To have an account in Clouding.io is only necessary if you want to use your own web app in your mobile instead of using the Particle App. Using your own server will make the App a bit faster, much more appealing and you will also learn more with this proyect.

Particle Code

Arduino
This code creates two Particle functions that will be called by our web app to turn on or off the pin D2 of the Photon.
const int led = D2;
int on(String command);
int off(String coommand);

void setup()
{
    Particle.function("on",on);
    Particle.function("off",off);
    pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() 
{

}


int on(String command)
{
    digitalWrite(led,HIGH);
}

int off(String command)
{
    digitalWrite(led,LOW);
}

Node.js code

This is the code that builds the web app.
