So finally I think I’m generally done with my Edison wireless weather station, parts of which I’ve described in earlier posts. After some tweaking and polishing the code today + finally assembling all the sensor modules and the base module into their enclosures, it’s now in “production” :) Here’s a peek at how modules look like in enclosures:
As the title says – I’ve just added a cloud upload functionality. I’ve picked ThingSpeak for now as they are the only of a literally handlful, who still allow for free accounts *and* private data channels. Another one I was strongly considering was enableiot.com, but at the end of the day ThingSpeak won by a small margin (mainly because there … Continue reading
Just a quick update on sensor modules. I’ve prepared two out of four sensor modules with enclosures and sensors attached. See below for photos, but general idea is simple – sensor on the outside, attached by a drop of glue from a glue gun, Arduino 101 inside connected by standard male-to-female cables. I had to solder pins extracted from a … Continue reading
Further progress on the Edison wireless weather station project I’ve described in an earlier blog post. I’ve added the base module sensors and even though I initially looked at using the same DHT-22/AM2302 I used on sensor modules, it turned out to be not feasible on Edison’s Kit for Arduino. Due to all the muxes, it’s not easy to toggle … Continue reading
It’s been a while since my last post, the time was well spent though. Aside from adding various packages to the Edison and Galileo repositories, I’ve created materials for an Edison workshop – short training intended for everyone to get a basic understanding of what this board can do with a hands-on Python project. See details here. Another thing I … Continue reading
