Hi folks! It's been way to long. I didn't give any updates on my Reminder Bot. After planning and practicing for a while, I was able to build rough sketch on how to design the memory of Reminder bot.
As the robot should store and able to reflect the tasks, memory element or a place to store all this inputs is the main I need to get started with. So, After some research, I found MySQL tables in a SQL database would be great to get this job done. I started with some basics and was able to learn it very soon and my excited drove me very fast to practice that stuff.
In the entire robot kit, I also got temperature sensor (TMP 36), I used it to test my skills on storing responses in an MySQL table. In this blog post I share my initial journey of getting started with this storing responses stuff.
First, I connected the TMP36 sensor as show in the following circuit.
Next, I wrote few lines of Arduino code to read the analog response from this temperature sensor. See the code here.
Then, I wrote a python script which reads the analog response of the sensor from serial monitor and then logs those values into a MySQL table. See the script here.
Finally I was able to store some responses from Arduino into a database, which is going to be a key to build my entire reminder robot.
You can review my code and come forward with some great suggestions.
In my next post, I'll try to give complete architecture of my robot.
Thanks.
