[Sugar-devel] loT on Sugar and OLPC

[James Cameron]

Thanks, interesting.

I've been using ESP8266 IoT devices, with OLPC XO laptops.  Either
bare modules (ESP-01), Sparkfun Thing (ESP-12) or Adafruit Huzzah
(ESP-12).

They do work connected to serial port or USB serial adapter.

They do not work with mesh.

They do not work with ad-hoc.

They do work as access points, or clients on an access point.

I'm using Lua as the language on the devices.

The discovery of IP addresses can be made automatic using mDNS,
there's no need to remember 192.178.x.y.

The best activity for focus would be Turtle Blocks in Sugar or JS.
Easy to write plugins for blocks to access IoT devices.  IoT devices
can be directly accessed from browser too.
