A simple API for Arduino-based devices using flask, created for and with the Internet Of Things Club at NextFab

##what's inside

• A simple API for sending and recieving data
• Code for some simple sensors that connects to the API

##Running the API project

• You'll need python installed (version 3.4+)

• Consider setting up a virtual environment (google "virtualenv python")

• Clone this project

git clone https://path.to.this.project.git

• Install the requirements

cd iot-api-flask
OPTIONAL: activate virtual environment (something like source env/bin/activate)
pip install -r requirements.txt

• Run the app

python app.py

##Running the Sensor Code

• Open the code from the _sensors folder in the Arduino IDE

• Upload to your MKR1000 and go!

• You'll need to change WIFI credentials and server data, it's commented in the code
