(Best view 1900 x 1200)This chapter I just sharing with all about component and sensor that plan to get. I will develop hardware in parallel for BBB and CC3200. Both system have pros and cons for example the CC3200 have an build in WIFI which BB...
In this week's post, I will be using a transceiver connected to a UART of BBB to collect data.Cool features of Beaglebone Black rev CHardware setupUsing UART of BBB Cool features of Beaglebone Black: This is the first...
Installing OpenHAB on a Beaglebone Black This post is about installing the OpenHAB home automation software onto the BeagleBone Black. The idea is to collect data from the AirVantage cloud and make automation decisions based on that dataFor Beag...
In this chapter I am going to write about dust sensor. If you follow my project then you will know I plan to use Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F dust sensor.Again I will provide the information here in case someone is not read my previous chapter. Link to El...
Design power circuitBacause the AirMobile sensor is going to harvest energy from waste heat by means of a Peltier cell, a proper power circuit is required to provide a reliable power supply to the electronic board.My choice was the Linear Technology ...
I've decided to use Code Composer for my development environment. So far I have all the software installed, the LaunchPad connected, and the example project from the Getting Started Guide built. Was able to establish a LAN connection and ping the...
I received my kit last week and have looked at the different IDE options available for the MSP430 and CC3200. The choices vary from (1) Energia which has the same feel as coding for an Arduino, (2) Code Composer Studio, an Eclipse-based IDE tha...
Power managementLow power mode is a feature for which the MSP430 is designed for. It is useful because it shuts down certain areas of the CPU in order to save power. Since most embedded systems need to be energy efficient, low power modes of operatio...
In this post, I will share a very high level architecture of the system and a brief description of its subsystems in the section below. The subsystems can be classified into five: (1) Indoor sensors, (2) Outdoor sensor, (3) Central Hub, (4...
Title: Low Cost Harmful Algal Bloom MonitoringIn post#2, I have identified the sensors, microcontroller and transceiver to be used for the sensor node. For this week to complete the whole system, detailed on the 2nd subsystem(the receiving end) will ...
Introduction: The flow chart below is my overall idea of how this will work. (Just the start) Here is the list of Items I have ordered from Element14 with the budget generously provided: TENMA-21-10115-SOLDERING STATION, ...
Downloaded CCStudio, after creating an account on TIhttp://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudioI am familiar with eclipse based IDEs (for java though), so I thought how hard can this be ?well... took me an couple of hours to find my way, and understand just the ...
Another day, another delivery. This time, a shiny Tenma pH probe has arrived - a delicate looking affair, with the tip sealed into a tiny bottle containing some liquid. This weekend I will hook up the parts to do some initial testing of the sensor.&n...
I had already proposed a design but it was a bit rough and after talking to some sensor vendors, I found that not only are gas sensors expensive but most of them might not be suitable for outdoor use at all. Hence I have cut down on the sensors and a...
Experimenting with the power source: Peltier cellIn 1821, Seebeck found by using two different metals that are connected by two separate junctions, they will develop very small voltage if the two junctions at maintained at different temperatures.In 1...
Sensors for the competetion :As i havent received the boards, to start with I am explaining in this post the sensors used in the competetion.Air PollutionFor air pollution I will be using MQ series of sensors. Which sensor i will use will depend on b...
Piecing things together and checking out some datasheets. Seems like an opportune time to add a more detailed overview and give structure to my project. I like to start with a basic flow diagram since its provides a quick visual representation of the...
R & D:Sensor, sensor, sensor and more sensor.Other already start with some sensor and testing but I still in progress looking for sensor . Maybe I should stop looking at other and just doing my own one he..he..Looking for good and affordable sens...
