Welcome to the Internet Of Things page. Here you will find details of some new IoT experiments, each of which is designed to support learning in the classroom through the provision of data that is:
current
relevant
real-time
informative
easily accessed
from a specific environment
This is the Enviro+ being attached to a tree in Northern Ireland. It is now live – recording particle matter; various metrics; and images of the nearby environmentally sensitive ancient woodland.
We use the MongoDB platform to display the live data in graphical form:
This is the Enviro+ being attached to a Raspberry Pi 4 with the particulate sensor also connected.
The configuration script can be seen along with some example LCD displays.
Next will be testing in the outdoor environment, then connectivity to the MongoDB hosting platform.
