We'll connect an Arduino MKR to AWS IoT with an Ethernet cable and the MKR ETH shield.I've done this before on a MKR1010 with WiFi. This post uses the same example, with a wired Ethernet solution.With this example, you can safely connect to AWS and i...
After breaking something, how many times have you wished a band aid or duct tape could fix the issue? When I was in college, my classmates and I had an inside joke saying, “If it can’t be fixed with duct tape then you’re not using enough duct tape.” ...
In an IoT sensor application the sensor usually sleeps most of the time and wakes in regular periods for a very short time to send its measurements to the cloud. This should reduce the average current consumption to 10 - 100 uA and enable a long batt...
Arduino IoT cloud Connecting a Arduino to the Arduino IoT Cloud is very simple and straight forward. As long as you have the right Arduino board. At the moment there are only Arduino MKR 1000, Arduino MKR WIFI 1010 and Arduino MKR GSM 1400 suppo...
It seems like I am a little bit late for the IoT: In the Cloud challenge. Nevertheless since I received a Arduino MKR WIFI 1010 board from element14 and that my project is now almost I finished I will present it anyway. Introduction and IdeaFor ...

About a couple of months back a work buddy of mine, moved back to Canada and gave me 4 Sonoff switches, he was using the Sonoff to control his lamps using the default sonoff mobile app. I dint want to use the mobile app, to send data to the clo...
I have used the myDevices Cayenne IoT platform on a couple of previous projects and I like its capability but I've discovered that for the Sprinkler Control that it has a number of shortcomings. One of the major differences is that because I a...
I've been distracted and just realized that the deadline for the IoT: In the Cloud project is fast approaching.
Time to get back to work to connect and test the relay module.
Here are pictures of the RPi 3B and 5 inch touchscreen displ...
Story behind the project:I believe that a project without a story is stale and tasteless and doesnot have a vivid connection with the author/maker.Last year I was diagonsed with measles and jaundice at the same time.I was taken to a hospital nearby w...

The basic idea was to create a temperature monitor based on DS18B20 sensors with support for remote access. I have used a kit called AVT-1705 which allows to read data from two DS18B20 sensors via RS485 protocol. As master controller I have used a ...
