IoT Technical Guide
IoT Technical Guide - Building a High-Performance IoT Platform
IoT Technical Guide is a Chinese-language learning repository for understanding how high-performance Internet of Things platforms are designed and built. It walks readers through the architecture, concepts, and engineering stack behind IoT systems instead of only listing isolated tools. The guide covers topics such as IoT market context, device models, ThingsBoard source-code learning, MQTT broker setup, CoAP services, message peak shaving, data modeling, and database selection. It is intended for developers who want to learn how real IoT platforms organize devices, messages, protocols, and backend services. The repository is especially useful as a structured study path for readers preparing to build or customize an IoT platform. It functions more as a technical tutorial and roadmap than as a single installable software package. -

AWS IoT Device SDK for Java
Java SDK for connecting to AWS IoT from a device
The AWS IoT Device SDK for Java enables Java developers to access the AWS IoT Platform through MQTT or MQTT over the WebSocket protocol. The SDK is built with AWS IoT device shadow support, providing access to thing shadows (sometimes referred to as device shadows) using shadow methods, including GET, UPDATE, and DELETE. It also supports a simplified shadow access model, which allows developers to exchange data with their shadows by just using getter and setter methods without having to serialize or deserialize any JSON documents. A new AWS IoT Device SDK is now available. It is a complete rework, built to improve reliability, performance, and security. We invite your feedback! The SDK is built on top of the Paho MQTT Java client library. Developers can choose from two types of connections to connect to the AWS IoT service. -

pyrpl
PyRPL turns your Red Pitaya into a powerful analog feedback device.
The Red Pitaya is a commercial, affordable FPGA board with fast analog inputs and outputs. This makes it useful for quantum optics experiments, in particular as a digital feedback controller for analog systems. Based on the open source software provided by the board manufacturer, PyRPL (Python RedPitaya Lockbox) implements many devices that are needed for optics experiments with the Red Pitaya. PyRPL implements various digital signal processing (DSP) modules (see features below). It allows to arbitrarily interconnect the available DSP modules and retrieve signal values on timescales below 1 ms. The graphical user interface (GUI) provides a realtime display of the various measurement instruments and allows the easy configuration of DSP signal chains and feedback controllers. At the highest abstraction level, arbitrary feedback sequences can be defined to fulfill tasks as complex as approaching and locking a resonance of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity (tested up to finesse=100,000). -
