TI IoT Week, Sensor Node Project Part 5

Communing with "The Cloud" is the order of the day, so let's now add WIFI functionality and start sending data to the internet and while we are at it, get setting from the internet too. Celebrating TI IoT week, I am building an IoT node that will monitor the Temperature and Light Levels of wherever you place it. TI products will be used for this project as much as possible with the heart being a TI Launchpad CC3200. LCD Display, Temperature sensing and Fan control has been added to our node and today we add the ability to send sensor data and status information to the Internet (Cloud) and also receive updated High and Low limits for our temperature controlled fan . After this our CC3200 based node will truly be an IoT device. By the end of the week we will have 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 will go through the process of setting up the WIFI and MQTT libraries and overview a few concepts regarding Publish and Subscribe based systems. 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. you can find the sketches here https://github.com/thebreadboard/SampleSketches/tree/master/IOT_Week_2016 The launchpad selected for this project is the CC3200. http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/launchpads-connected-cc3200-launchxl.html#tabs TI Temperature sensor selected for the project is the TMP275 TMP275 http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tmp275.pdf The Display is the 430BOOST-SHARP96 http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau553/slau553.pdf and purchased from here http://www.ti.com/tool/430boost-sharp96 or other vendors of your choice MQTT Libraries are included with the Energia download but for more information you can go here http://mqtt.org/ and here http://iot.eclipse.org/. If you want to set up your own local MQTT server then refer to this resource:- http://mosquitto.org/ I would like to thank Texas Instruments for their support and sponsorship with this project Other videos for this series can be found here:- Day 1 https://youtu.be/im-ip8ZAXjY Day 2 https://youtu.be/QfE8kPg5cWk Day 3 https://youtu.be/feak2L_gM_w Day 4 https://youtu.be/AwO9qjMBsiE Day 5 https://youtu.be/5RdPFRs1cAc Day 6 https://youtu.be/f48pHgzB6VE Day 7 https://youtu.be/fpYWajndIOQ
