TI IoT Week, Sensor Node Project Part 7

As a final video for the week, let's get off the grid and go Solar with battery backup..and I will show you that "Size does Matter" This is Day 7 and the final day of Celebrating TI IoT week, This is the conclusion to building an IoT node that will monitor the Temperature of wherever you place it and control a fan in order to cool things down if so desired. It is also monitor and control from a smart device and supports manual control of the fan TI products will be used for this project as much as possible with the heart being a TI Launchpad CC3200. SMART control, "Cloud" enabled, LCD Display, Temperature sensing and Fan control has been added to our node and today we add the ability to remote control our sensor node using any smart device running a modern browser. Today is the last day of the project, 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 and if all goes well, it will be solar powered with a battery to last the night. It has a SMART interface and now will have unlimited power n the form of SOLAR and a Lipo battery backup. In this video we will look at adding a battery backup to our node and also a charger based on using a Solar Panel. You will see that contrary to popular belief... Size does matter. 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. + a Solar charge system 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/ Node-Red can be downloaded for most Linux systems, just google the board and Node-Red. for help with it, see my other videos or look here :- http://nodered.org/ and for plugins see here:- http://flows.nodered.org/ Chips used int he final Video can be found here: Battery Booster (Obsolete) http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slvua32/slvua32.pdf LIPO Charger http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq24210.pdf BUCK/Boost Regulators http://www.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/ds/symlink/tps63000.pdf Gas Gauge http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq27510-g3.pdf, MSP 430G Launchpad pinout http://energia.nu/Guide_MSP430LaunchPad.html FuelTank Booster Pinout http://energia.nu/pin-maps/guide_fueltankboosterpack/ 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
