Abstract
Most IOT solutions, whether they are built by hand or mass produced for commercial sale, are prototyped from basic designs using discrete components. Most hobbyists and enthusiasts base their solutions on components they can buy from retailers (or wholesalers if they produce many units for sale). Much of the commodity hardware therefore is readily available.

Or as my grandmother used to say, “A twenty-and-five-cent piece.”

TinyCircuits also makes a LilyPad-compatible module line the size of a U.S. dime (ten-cent piece) called the TinyLily ( http://tiny-circuits.com/products/tiny-lily.html ).

Well, permanent until you unsolder it!
- 7.
Mini-computers is not a very good name because some of these boards do not include video controllers or support for common laptop or desktop computer peripherals.
- 8.
As you will see, I have an enthusiast’s passion. There’s always room for one more board!

At this time, the Windows 10 IOT kit has not been officially released, but beta versions have proven interesting and promising.
- 11.
The Intel Edison is a minor exception when used with the Arduino breakout host board.
- 12.
Cover that thing up, there may be children nearby!
- 13.
The case is a 3D-printed affair, so you’ll need to find someone to print it for you if you do not have a 3D printer. A full tutorial on how to build it is included.
- 14.
Shocking, isn’t it?
- 15.
This depends on the width of the parallel buffer. An 8-bit buffer can communicate 1 byte at a time, a 16-bit buffer can communicate 2 bytes at a time, and so on.

I for one can never tell which detector is beeping, so I replace the batteries in all of them.
- 19.
Accuracy may depend on environmental variables such as elevation, temperature, and so on.
