The costs associated with industrial heating and the disposal of industrial biomass can be significant; both to businesses and to the environment. Ranheat, a leading provider of biomass energy management equipment, design and manufacture wood waste b...
Condition monitoring allows engineers to understand the health of key assets; whether they are machines in a factory, or for Govia, the UK’s largest railway franchise delivering 24% of all passenger rail journeys, the trains that make up their fleet....
Built on a floating ice shelf in the Antarctic, the British Antarctic Survey’s Halley VI Research Station collects important data to aid in the study of global problems from climate change and rising sea-levels, to space weather and the thinning of t...

Introduction
This blog is to close out this project for the purposes of the remote monitoring competition.
In blog 1, I presented an old project, which was based on fuzzy logic and used analog moisture sensors which corroded over time....
I tried the GridEye sensor outside last night where the temperature dropped to about 10 C, which is actually better for detecting the cats as they would stand out more from the background ambient temperature. I did have to make a few tweaks to the se...

For an IoT (Internet of Things) project to be truly remote it needs to have Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware up...
There's not much time left before the end of the Remote Monitoring and Control Project14 competition so I'm rushing to get finished, or at least, nearer to finishing. I have combined the two Arduino programmes I have been working with; one fr...

For remote monitoring and controlling of any device required internet access, MQTT broker, storage for remote & local data loggin...
I made all the changes needed to the case assembly and I trimmed down the proto PCB and wired the connections to the sensors.
Here is a picture of the completed assembly:
Not pretty, but looks like a prototype..... At the ...

Intro:
Over the last few years I had different types of succulent plants but due extreme outdoor environment I have lost many of these. After a lot of experimentation now I know exactly how to take care of these plants in alien conditions. The most ...
As I am having trouble processing and interpreting the data obtained from the GridEye sensor when trying to detect a cat I decided I needed some artificial Intelligence to help me as all my intelligence is worn out. There is a programme for Arduino t...
Well, I am running out of time to complete this project. All the usual excuses, out of town guests and other distractions. I am going to do well just to finalize all the construction by next week. I did a test print of the componen...
The GridEye sensor is working so now I have to work out how to recognise when a cat comes along (or a dog or a fox). To help with my own understanding of what the GridEye sensor data will look like I have set up a simple experiment of the GridEye and...

I decided to do some initial RSSI testing at various locations inside my house and outside in the backyard to see how much loss I was getting due to the structure of my house. This is to get a baseline for further outdoor testing. There ar...
The temperature sensor that I selected is the BME280. It measures humidity and barometric pressure in addition to temperature. The particular version that I'm using interfaces over I2C. There are other versions that will interface ...
Now that I've gotten some runtime on my new 3D printer and used the new workflow with Cura - I'm ready to start printing the component mounting for the sensor case. Since I've decided to use the larger case, I can mount some of the components ...
