[https://ubidots.com Ubidots] is ''a codeless IoT Platform designed to help you prototype and scale your IoT projects to production''.
This application notes example consists of three step to connect SBC-LYNX to ubidotssteps.The first part describes how shows*How to connect the sbc-lynx SBC Lynx to Ubidots *How to ubidots and send upload data to the platform (ubidots)cloud.The second part describes how to visualize on the dash board dashboard of the ubidotsThe third part is Ubidots. That last shows how to setup set up events so as to get a notification.====Sending Connecting and uploading data to Ubidots====The SBC LYNX board used specification: CPU: based on NXP/Freescale i.MX6UL2xRS232-2xRS485 on Serial Multi ProtocolOperating Systems: LinuxAs stated before, Debian (Jessie)IEC-61131 PLC runtime Cross Checking it is assumed that the Sbc-lynx board runs a Debian distribution used and the command used to check the distribution is lsb_release –a and looks like the below one:<pre class="board-terminal">
root@arm:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Release: 8.7
Codename: Jessie

I) Connecting the SBC-LYNX devices to the Ubidots IoT cloud
pip install ubidots
Now we have installed to our target device (local gateway/device=sbc-lynxSBC Lynx) the necessary library python api ubidots client
II) To connect our SBC LYNX board to the ubidot IoT cloud we need to have user account on the ubidots cloud platform and get the API(a unique key for each account ) and token from the website, very simple.
When we execute this python code from the sbc-lynx SBC Lynx board, it will send random data to the ubidots (to each variable, in my case it is three variable)
====Visualizing data on the cloud dashboards====
In this way, we can connect our device (sbc-lynxSBC Lynx) to the ubidots cloud with Ubidot’s python api client and send data to the cloud then visualize it on the cloud in way we configured and also get notification by means of different ways.
