I am a fairly seasoned embedded programmer, but the Cloud is new to me. Is there a good resource to learn (top down fashion) about cloud functions etc. I have put together the over-the-net LED blink code, and embedded the HTML code on a page on my web site. It works, but I understand why only on a s…

I’m not entirely sure whether there are resources available (yet?), but I can attempt to explain it crudely. I’ll throw a bunch of terms around which you can either Google about, or ask for more info here :smile: So, you’ve got the devices (Core/Photon/Electron/whatever), the Cloud (servers), and t…

Thanks, that’s one step on the way. I want to get where I am fluid at putting together the HTML code I need to embed into my web pages - and write the photon code accordingly. And understand why it works. Erlend

In that case, I’d suggest using the Javascript library , since that should abstract away quite a bit of the messy HTML requests that you have to make. You don’t really need to understand what’s going on ‘inside’ the cloud to get it to do what you want it to do. You can see it as a magical black box w…

@Moors7 Jordy, you description of the Cloud is somewhat nebulous. tee hee hee! :grin: I couldn’t resist!

Hi @Erlend , A good place to start would be to checkout the Cloud functions available in the firmware here: https://docs.particle.io/reference/firmware/photon/#cloud-functions and the api reference will also help you discover what’s available: https://docs.particle.io/reference/api/#devices The …

Thanks - I am busy reading. Erlend

This is daunting. JSON is new to me. JS I know only superficially. The concept of webhooks is new. And more. Is there an easy way for me to create a web page which will display some of my photon’s variables, and will have buttons to command some of it’s functions? One that is annotated preferably? …

I’ve made a page like that using the javascript library, should you be interested. You can find it over here: http://jordymoors.nl/interface , along with the code on GitHub (check the link at the bottom of the page). It’s not as daunting as it may appear. JSON is simply a way to structure data, and …
