The Internet of Things (IoT) is fundamentally changing how we interact with the digital world. In this session we’ll explore the implementation of real examples which bridge the gap between the physical and digital world using PHP: asking Alexa for information within a PHP application; displaying API data on an Arduino-powered display; using PHP to control LEDs on a Raspberry Pi to monitor application uptime; and connecting IR sensors to Slack to see whether a conference room is in use.

Firmware library for Adafruit's USB + Serial Backpack Kit with 16x2 RGB LCD.
This library only supports the TTL serial connection. Currently this library only supports the Particle Photon, though it should be possible to support other boards with minimal adjustments (if any).
