IoT Toolkit is an open source reference implementation of an Internet of Things core platform for horizontal interoperability based on the Smart Object API.
The IoT Toolkit implements an event-driven architecture, consisting of self-describing distributed Smart Objects. These Smart Objects are virtual representations of physical objects and the people who own and control said objects along with other data resources, that collectively make up the Internet of Things.
The Smart Object abstraction enables composite IoT applications to be constructed from data and resources of various origins, linked to software agents, which in turn control physical processes, produce outputs, or link to other software agents.
Figure 1 shows how the event-driven web object encapsulation provides distributed graph-structured applications connecting to physical things.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I just had to make sure I was getting the resistor value right to prove I am human.
