TI IoT Week, Sensor Node Project Part 1

Using the Texas Instruments CC3200 Launchpad for an IoT project. Celebrating TI IoT week, I am building an IoT node that will monitor the Temperature and Light Levels of wherever you place it. Based on TI products of course and will be built upon the foundation of a TI Launchpad. Adding components and sensors day by day, culminating with a fully working IoT node that will post the data upto an MQTT server (The Cloud) and provide you with the means to subscribe to that data and present it in a useful way on a Smart device via an HTML5 browser. In this video we will select the board (LaunchPad) from the many that I already have and I give a brief description of each one's features with regard to our needs (Not a full board review). The final selection will be the board we use for the entire project. If you want to replicate this project, it should not cost you more than 50-80$ depending on your current parts and options you choose.
