Connecting Arduino to your Laptop

In order to read data from sensors attached to your Arduino and connected to laptop the steps are simple:

• Connect USB Port of Arduino to your laptop
• Make a note of the port that is used: 
  • On MAC: You can find the new port by doing ls -ltr /dev/* before connecting the Arduino 
  • Repeat the command ls -ltr /dev/* after connecting the Arduino - The new file listed is the device port.
  • On Windows: You can check the port by looking at System Parameters. This is usually COM1, .. COM4
• Install the Perif protocol handler using the command:
  • tql -install -protocol -perif
  • More details on TQL CLI can be found here
• Instantiate your ThingModel/ThingFacet and you should start receiving data
