IoT Food Scale with Azure and CircuitPython #azureformakers @Azure

New guide! IoT Food Scale with Azure and CircuitPython.

There are many IoT platforms out there, including Adafruit’s own Adafruit.IO, but if you want to build really big projects or run a business using IoT, you’ll need to use a platform that provides support for projects that scale. Microsoft Azure has resources for these types of applications and the best news is that you can use it with CircuitPython.

You can build a food scale using CircuitPython, a NAU7802 STEMMA board and a strain gauge and in this guide, you’ll take that project and connect it to Microsoft Azure to log the weight measurements over time. Additionally, you’ll setup a text alert when it looks like you need to refill the food container.

Tracking inventory usage over time is a great way to utilize IoT tools. It can help you see patterns and better plan for the future.
