RuffChain: Complete IoT Application Developing System
Recently I've discovered an exciting project called RufChain which look to become the standard for developers looking for an Internet of Things (IoT) development system. I'll cover what RuffChainis shortly but before I go into that, let's take a look at what Internet of Things actually is.
What is Internet of Things?
A network is made up on physical devices which contain embedded electronics which job is to talk and exchange data, creating a more efficient way of getting data from these devices into a computer based system. This could be for a example a car, a fridge, lighting, heating ... In short, it's everywhere.
Benefits of IoT
If you think about the current buzz around your house, it's all about having a 'smarthome'. IoT plays a huge part in this, you can set your heating to come on and off at times when it's only needed, the same with your lights. Moisture sensing devices to detect the first signs of a link, potentially saving you a nightmare and a huge bill. The reason we do this is for the the bigger plan to save money. Vehicles will be communicating all sorts of information about fuel economy. The end goal again is a more efficient, cost saving solution.
So how does RuffChain come into this?
All of this technology we speak about needs a platform in which to create a mechanism for the hardware and software to exchange data. RuffChain is providing a complete IoT Application Development system. Ruff is a JavaScript runtime specialised in IoT development.
The aim is to provide an easy to use system for their users. They do this by basing the coding on Javascript, a language which is so familiar with developers, but don't worry if you've never used this but are intrigued, it's one of the most easiest languages to pick up and learn.
Where to get started with Ruff?
RuffChain make it incredibly easy to get started .. Like seriously easy. Would you believe me if I told you that you can use RuffChain to create your first IoT application in 3 minutes? Well you should, because you can. RuffChain actually provides you with so much information right out the box, they give you a whole host of documentation, tutorials and video guides to sink your teeth into.
Here's a video tutorial in creating your first IoT application where you turn on the LED on the Ruff development board.
There is a prerequisite to you being able to get started with RuffChain, you need to order development kit if you do not already own this. You can get the kit from the following link;
Once you have the kit, you'll need to go ahead with setting up the SDK and configuring this ready for use, I won't go into this now but you can find the easy guide to set this up on the below link;

More benefits of using RuffChain
As additional to the points listed above about using a very simple programming language, a system that is designed with ease in mind and a plethora of help to get started, let's take a quick look at some other points;
Ruff repositories contain Modules, Drivers and dependencies.
For deployment there's no more cross-compiling as you can instantly deploy your work.
Testing your work is a cinch, you can focus on your ideas and requirements, instantly deploy this and then run your application.
Ruffchain Unifies IoT
Ruff Tokens
Being integrated with Blockchain technology, RuffChain has its own tokens which you can trade on Cryptocurrency exchanges, aptly named RUFF. The token is an ERC20 tokenand can be traded on such exchanges as Huobi and Gate.io. You can view all the information of the Ruff token, it's historical price and it's current price as of now by visting CoinMarketCap (CMC) on the below link;

Partners
Ruff boast some very good partners along their way including Microsoft, Baidu Cloud and Shneider.

Ruff chain will really become a valuable asset to IoT devices. It is bringing a revolution that is going to change IoT for the better.
Exactly, the price will surely hit the roof, the market that they tend to work on is a very profitable one and futuristic too
I think Ruff token is still very greatly undervalued at this time... I agree with you price will moon when market gets set
You have a minor grammatical mistake in the following sentence:
It should be its own instead of it's own.Thanks for the great writeup. RuffChain is certainly one of the standout IoT blockchain projects that i've seen, can't wait to see how it progresses.
I was surprised to read that they were able to land some big names to work with. The team seems capable given that was possible.
if they can work on building a solid core community of developers, and continue to expand their knowledge base, i'll think it'll do great.
Great post; One thing is certain and is the fact that iot devices require a costly infrastructure and the blockchain could very well elevate that and minimize barrier of entry.
I agree, blockchain technology will help reducing cost of IoT network
this is the first really simple description of RuffChain. Thanks for that, sure helps many.
and only 3min for an IoT app? WOW!
Nice article. Ruff lot of things are made too much easier like. We can create our own IoT application in a just 3 minutes which is saving lot of time to develop from starting.
Yep, true high level programming must offer plenty of standard templates to start from. Ruff is making exactly this thing - standardizes many aspects of IoT development.
This is indeed something that the IoT industry needs and i have no doubt that the value will continuously increase
I agree. Ruff is a platform designed to improve commerce by combining the Internet of Things and blockchain technology
Thanks for this. Didn't know before now that the token is listed on another platform other than huobi.
I also miss it again and again when an interesting token is listed on other exchanges. I often have to look at CMC
Yea. At times CMC take time to add some new token's to their list too.
Really helpful post and thanks for the video with such simple tutorial for the Ruff development board.
Nice article, the video was just brilliant and very educating.
I love seeing the videos and articles like this as they really do a great job of setting the project aside from the other ones as it really did a great job I think
It's nice to see more video orientated reviews, it really helps with getting the project more known - people prefer to look at videos rather than article
