IoT Development: How Easy is It to Develop with the MangOH?

rscasny

element14 provided to one of our element14 community engineers a mangOH Green Starter Kit and asked him to build a device to cloud solution with the mangOH’s pre-built platform. Then we chose a different kind of product, the Texas Instruments' MSP 430 LaunchPad plus the CC3100 Boosterpack, and asked him to build a device to cloud solution. We were interested in learning just how easy it was to develop IoT solutions with the mangOH. is blogging about his experience.

  • Ow. A microcontroller and a single chip linux machine compared.

    It's certainly an odd comparison the core module in the Mango is an Air Prime  WP8548WP8548 at$85 for 250 which is being compared with a TI processor and RF chip that cost under$10 with the necessary extra bits in the same quantity

    These products are not aimed at the same applications - I can't see that comparing them makes much sense - you wouldn't consider the two of them for the same product in real life.

    I knew they were different products. But we were trying to do a comparison between building a device-to-cloud solution from scratch versus doing it with pre-built, tools. That was the main focus. So, the mangoh came out this year. It's pre-built with a cloud platform (AirVantage). The Launchpad was our build from scratch choice; TI doesn't have a M2M/IoT Cloud per se but it has cloud partners.  So, the question is: which one is easier to use. Which one is easier to get to the cloud? Advantages/Disadvantages, etc. Good point about price. Perhaps a better title would be: IoT Product Development: Build from Scratch or Use Pre-Built Tools? Thanks for the comment.
