We’re hard at work on developing and bringing the world of IoT to your raspberry pi, and we’re excited to show off some of the work we’ve been doing. Today we released a video showing compatibility with an LED matrix screen. While this alone is a cool use of the technology, essentially being able to draw on the matrix to show patterns, there’s something else unseen that is being shown off in the video: Speed.

The video shows both the cell phone and the Pi right next to each other, but they are communicating half a world away! The mobile device is sending commands from Poland, to a server located on the West coast of the United States, which is then sending the commands back to the raspberry pi, again in Poland. Once the led status has changed on the pi that information is published back through to the server in the West coast, and back to the cell phone. That’s over 10,000 miles of a round trip in almost as much as it takes you to blink. All this traffic secure and encrypted.

IoT One Cloud from Tigase is poised to give you internet connectivity to devices you’ve never thought could be controlled, or deliver information over the web. What will you create?
