Implementación de microservicios en proyectos de IoT con Arduino

This article focuses on the implementation of a system to send and receive data using an Arduino MEGA and an Ethernet Shield, with an emphasis on communication with a microservices-based API. The relevance of this study lies in the growing demand for accessible technological solutions for automation and education, allowing the integration of low-cost systems with modern data management tools. The objective is to provide a detailed description of the components and configurations required to establish this communication, offering practical examples of the most common HTTP services: GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. For the creation of the microservices, a MAMP server is used, and PHP is programmed using the Slim Framework. A comprehensive explanation is provided on how to implement each of these methods in Arduino projects, accompanied by code examples and practical demonstrations that facilitate understanding and application in various contexts. The results obtained demonstrate the viability of this technology in educational and automation projects, highlighting the effectiveness of combining Arduino with microservices for real-time data management. In conclusion, the combination of Arduino and microservices presents itself as an effective and adaptable solution for implementing technological projects in educational and automation contexts, offering a robust and efficient alternative for data handling.
