Like to Get an Intel Joule? Then Rate These Project Ideas

We received 188 applications for the Intel Joule RoadTest but only 5 units to actually RoadTest. The five official RoadTesters had great ideas. But there were many others with great, interesting and fun ideas. So, I went back to the supplier to see if it would sponsor some Intel joule projects. They agreed. These units would not be for a RoadTest per se but for project builds. The question is: what projects should we sponsor. And that's what I am posing to you. I have listed below the most interesting ideas offered by the Joule's RoadTest applicants. vote on which projects you would like to see built. the top ones I will forward to the supplier for sponsoring,

I had been pondering about suggesting survey and measured environment as a Project14 theme.

I've voted for the remote monitoring of large structural elements of buildings because it's something that really worries me, especially in ancient structures and ephemeral or temporary structures.

It doesn't have to be tough, for example. Looking at the USB bus with 'lsusb' in terminal can give you many types of information.

The most common to see how the devices are assign to a said USB hub is to use 'lsusb -t' in terminal.

You can also use 'dmesg' to see what has loaded into your system from the time it started up until the current time. Of course you can use the pipe and grep command with double quotes if you need to search the dmesg log for something specific.

You use 'lsmod' to check for loaded modules (drivers and memory resident libraries).

There is a ready made package that is called, "hardinfo", can be run as normal user or root to gather all the system information you may need to troubleshoot or if you're curious in a graphical setting that is searchable tree, can save it as well, view the end result in a web browser. It's like Device Manager in Microsoft Windows but with an attitude, it has a lot more than just Device Manager has.

Navigating a Linux device tree can be daunting, so I hear.

Use Intel Joule as an A.I. bot to gather user input on this site to write catchy clickbait titles.

Okay, that was an off the wall comment but hey, it's possible.

Cool!:) I would build a Video System. That runs on both a Battery and
AC-DC Adapter. I would use it for Shooting Project Videos. And for
Encoding Videos. The Sensors, could come in handy too. Perhaps, the
Joule could turn the video recording on and off Automatically. According
to Movement or Sound. Much like a Video Surveillance System. But, for
other purposes...

There will probably be some boards free of charge, in exchange for one or more detailed blog posts on the actual project you pitched.

Maybe good to add also the invite to users to make their proposal with the poll just as a starting point?
