Creator Kit - This is the name of the kit available here that includes the hardware you need to complete the projects detailed in this guide.
Ci40 (Marduk) - Ci40 is largest board in your kit and is the IoT hub. It connects to the Internet, and has many connectivity options for constrained devices to connect to (WiFi/6LoWPAN/BlueTooth). See full details of Ci40 on the FlowM2M website
IoT - Abbreviation of "Internet of Things". IoT is a concept in which many devices are connected together to work more efficiently/effectively. Any system in which multiple devices are connected together and connected to the Internet can be considered to be an IoT system.
Constrained Device - This term is a catch-all for very simple devices that connect to your Ci40 in a local network. Your Clicker boards included in the kit are an example of a Constrained Device.
OpenWrt - This is the Linux distribution used on Ci40 for the Creator Kit projects. Ci40 can run a variety of operating systems, but OpenWrt is used in these examples. Visit the OpenWrt website
6LoWPAN - 6LoWPAN is an acronym of IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks. It is designed for connecting small remote devices together.
6LoWPan Clicker - 2 6LoWPAN Clicker boards are included in the Creator Kit to allow you to complete the projects. Each Clicker connects to the Ci40 over 6LowPAN and acts as a remote sensor/actuator by using Click boards
Click - 3 Click boards are included in your kit (Thermo3, Relay, PIR Motion Sensor) and many more are available from MikroElektronika. These boards can be used to add new functions to your Clicker and Ci40 boards.
