Video, Introduction to the K in platform. In this video, we will learn about the cane platform. Then we will learn about its features. And finally, we will set up and configure the Raspberry Pi for working with occasion. Till now, we've seen how to control the GPIO pins wirelessly over short distances using the Bluetooth. But what if you want a remote control for anywhere in the world comes the cane platform to the rescue.

So what is cane cane is a drag and drop IoT project builder that empowers developers to create and host their own connected devices quickly. It was designed specifically for the Internet of Things. It can do a wide variety of things than just control GPIO pins. It not only makes it possible to build programs using drag and drop but it also Also standardizes the connection of devices, such as sensors and motors, and makes sure that drivers are in place, it can display sensor data, it can store the data, analyze them, and even help us to visualize them. In this sense, it makes the programming and hardware interfacing much easier. The key and platform is a combination of four key components.

One key nap. This is an app that can be installed on your mobile devices that can be customized with drag and drop widgets for controlling your IoT projects to gain an online dashboard, this is a browser based user interface that can be customized with drag and drop widgets to control your IoT project. This gives you access to more customization and features than the key and nap We will be working on this dashboard, pre, K and cloud. This is responsible for storage and processing of your user data, sensor data, actions, triggers and alerts. For k an agent. This is what that enables the communication between the cloud server and the hardware for implementing commands, actions, triggers and alerts.

Each time you interact with a key nap or online dashboard, the data travels to the cloud where it is processed, and through the key an agent finds its way to your hardware as an action, a trigger or an alert. The cane platform was originally created for the Raspberry Pi, but now it's available for many new devices. It has a lot of inbuilt features for the Raspberry Pi. Some of the important features support By caring for the PI, the following remote access, reboot and shutdown, ad and control sensors and actuators, customizable dashboards with drag and drop widgets, set triggers for sensors and actuators. set up alerts via email and text messages. remotely test and configure hardware using GPIO.

Now let's start working with cane. The first thing we need to do is to create an account. Go to the link provided in the resources section and create my device's K and account with your name, email and password. As this is your first login, you will be redirected by default. To create a new project. Select Raspberry Pi, then in step two, before clicking Next, make sure your buyers are And running and is connected to the internet.

Now click Next. We now have to install the different components of the cane library onto your Raspberry Pi. We're going to use the terminal method. Open the terminal in the Raspberry Pi and copy and paste the commands given in the key and dashboard. When you enter the last command after some time while it gets installed, the key in dashboard will get remote access to your pie and shows the status of the installation. It will install the libraries the agent, the software and unnecessary drivers and soft reboot the system.

As soon as the installation process completes, the online dashboard will automatically appeal. Your Raspberry Pi is now ready to use. Yes It's that simple. How amazing right now the Raspberry Pi is up and ready for you. projects using k in summary. In this video we have covered the following topics, the K platform features of the K in platform, setting up and configuring the Raspberry Pi for working with K in.

In the next video, we will learn more about the cane dashboard and implement a simple IoT project using cane
