IP: 10 : Status Update

ipv1

I was hoping the contest end date would be extended since the parts I requested have still not completely arrived.

As of now, my IOT Container is working, logging temperature and sending data happily over serial. I am taking the data and sending it over an XBEE and onto a beaglebone Black.

Now here is the magic, I am sending the data over wired ethernet using MQTT to a raspberry pi. A mosquitto server is running over the RPi which creates the message stream. I was also able to store data on a database as well using PHP.that would take the data as arguments to GET requests on the web server. Will be doing a demo video tomorrow...

 

The things done are:

image Container Circuit and Software

image Wireless communication to base station. I tried using the CC2500 solution but ran into problems with the word lengths.

image Beaglebone MQTT Code

image Battery Management on the Base station. This was basically a boughtout

image Connectivity to a server, I am using wired ethernet since the wireless CC3000 module never showed up.

 

What remains.

image GPS module. This has arrived, but I have not played with it yet.

image Wireless Internet Connectivity. The GPRS module will work with an arduino but I was hoping for a better CC3000 based solution.

 

I will post a Video tomorrow.

 

Thanks

  • Given your other projects/Challenges you're doing well.

     

    You've still got a few days and there is 24hrs in each ....image

    Thanks for the support. It is much needed and appreciated.

     

    I was stuck for the longest time with battery management IC I2C Communication Driver Code. Over than now and moved to other goals... Thankfully I now have a dedicated student working on side projects which gives me some time to work on this again. I would like to finish this irrespective of whether I win or not.

     

    Many thanks again.

    I spent too much time on software and upskilling, along with a pile of other unrelated tasks that came up.

    Luckily I wasn't held up by supply and delivery issues.

     

    I get the impression that everyone would like to finish their project.image and the information gained will help others with Wireless Charging.

    Every time I mention it, people are confused so IMO it should be called " Intelligent Inductive Charging ".
