Electric Imp
The Electric Imp platform allows us to connect devices to the cloud via wifi. Develop packages through the Squirrel language (a high level, object-oriented, light-weight scripting language). The package consists of two modules: the tool module that runs on the tool, and the agent module that runs within the electric powered Imp cloud. The platform facilitates communication between modules and sends gadget messages with a simple call.
agent.send("message_name", data);
Listen to the messages in the agent with the following code:
device.on("message_name", function(data)
{
//Data operations
});
