Arduino – A Cry from the D6 in DCU

-
What is Arduino, well it’s an open source project which focuses on building micro-controller boards.  The idea behind the project is to make physical computing more accessible.  Best way to think of this is a very small computing device that allows you to create small programs that interact with the physical environment around them.  For example environment sensors.   These micro controllers are made up of a small CPU, some RAM and flash memory.  

Typically you will create the program on another computer (PC) running either Windows, Linux or MAC OS.

Ardunio has its own programming language which is a dialect of C++

Typically the host computer on which you compile the code will interface with the Ardunio via a USB cable.

Configure Database Connection using MyBatis

-
Step 1: Create a propertiese file and store the relevant MySQL connection details here.

In my case the config.properties file contains the following
username=mysqluser
password=1234mysql
url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/bankrecords
driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Step 2: Create a configuration.xml file, this should contain all the required information needed to connect to your MySQL instance.  you need to reference the above propertiese file in the XML config file.

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
< !DOCTYPE configuration PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Config 3.0//EN" "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-config.dtd">
<configuration>
<properties resource="config.properties" />
