Simple Internet Of Things (IOT) Project For Home (part1)

This is a simple project we have done in Short Semester. You can try this at home. Trust me this is simple with some little coding. But in part one we are done some small job. But this small step has the essence of the big idea of IOT.

First Let's see what is the IoT concept...




The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data.

Above definition is on the Wikipedia. So let's get the simple idea of it. In IOT we are making every day-today equipment as a thing of the internet. So as an example imagine if you want to lit a bulb of your home when are in your office you can do it with this technology...

okay, I think its enough with definitions... Let's keep our hands dirty.....

What you will need for part 1 ???

In this part first, we are creating the IOT hub. Which is the box which we use to connect all of our IOT devices? Don't think much about this Hub for now. After creating you will get the idea.
1.)   Raspberry Pi with Micro SD card


2.)  Arduino Uno R3



3.) Arduino  WiFi shield



4.) Led Bulbs for Testing

 5.) Breadboard with jumper wires 
The first step is we have to prepare the raspberry pi. So we have to configure the raspberry pi you have to a little bit of digging on the internet.

Here I give you some links to configure the raspberry pi

You need to install an OS to raspberry pi... I suggest you install the Raspian os

Then you have to configure the network settings...

So guys for the first day I think this is enough... So hope you will do these steps and ready your raspberry pi for the IOT project. See you soon with Next step in that step we are going to ready our Arduino with wifi-shield. So goodbye for now...


Please ask if you have any trouble with today's lesson...

IOT Greenhouse project part 1

Image
How to build Simple IOT Greenhouse (Part 1) This this project we are going to control a stable environment to the plant inside the greenhouse.  With using mqtt protocols and latest IOT suff. And also we can monitor plant conditions using digital image processing. So let's start this step by step. Part 1 is all about setting up the sensors and hardware part. So what do you need to this project ? Components 1.) Arduino Uno with wifi shield 2.) Raspberry PI 2 Board and wifi adapter. 3.) DHT 21 (AM2301) Temperature and humidity sensor 4.) Soil Moisture Sensor 5.) Light intensity sensor 6.) Water pump 7.) Raspberry PI Camera or web cam for image processing 8.) 16 in to 4 LCD display Don't be scared i'm going to explain bit by bit how to build this system. First of all you have to design the hardware part. plug the sensor to the arduino in correct way. Simple Arduino Code to get sensor data and display here this code is without the arduino w

How to fix FirebaseApp with name [DEFAULT] doesn't exist issue with flutter This is a very common issue when we try to google authenticate our app with flutter. Please check the following are done in your app. Updated the android build.gradle file Updated the android\app build.gradle file Added dependency to pubspec.yaml Placed the google-services.json file Check Updated the android build.gradle file Add the following line to the android/build.gradle file please add the following line to that file. classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2' // Google Services plugin Check Updated the android\app build.gradle file Add following line to the following location apply plugin : 'com.google.gms.google-services' Check Added dependency to pubspec.yaml firebase_auth : ^0.14.0+5 google_sign_in : ^4.0.7 Placed the google-services.json file make sure you have added google-services.json from the firebase

Node.js how to work with Serial ports and display data on a beautiful frontend using Highcharts API Part 2

Image
Now you have some basic idea of the technologies we are using here. So let's get our hands dirty. First, we have to set up the Node js libraries correctly to handle the serial data and open a WebSocket. So simple what we here going to do is getting data from USB and put them into a GUI to visualize our data nicely. So for this tutorial, I'm going to use Arduino as my data source. Piratically this will be your sensor or devices which you are using. Here http://www.highcharts.com/  Highcharts makes it easy for developers to set up interactive charts in their web pages. This has good community support and this is best for our works. 1. First step clone this repository https://github.com/akilawickey/nodejs-serial-frontend/tree/master Here is the Arduino sketch sample.ino which I'm using to emulate data which you can find inside the repository 1: /* 2: * This code will emulate USB data 3: * 4: * 5: */ 6: // the setup function run
