Explore the intersection of IoT hardware and Scala programming in this conference talk from Scala Days New York 2016. Dive into a unique project that uses Lego trains equipped with Raspberry Pi, cameras, and various sensors to demonstrate the power of remote actors in IoT applications. Learn about the architecture, components, and challenges of building a remote actor-based system using Scala, Akka, and AngularJS. Discover the advantages of using actors over REST endpoints, and gain insights into performance comparisons between the two approaches. Follow along as the speaker discusses wireless remote control, camera integration, automated switch tracks, and even a Lego Ferris Wheel controlled by Raspberry Pi's. Understand the implementation of lighting effects using Particle Photon's and explore the message protocol used in the system. Gain practical knowledge about overcoming challenges related to hardware limitations, battery life, RFID integration, and WiFi connectivity. Witness a live demo showcasing the capabilities of this innovative IoT project and learn valuable lessons for applying similar concepts in your own IoT endeavors.
