asset and weather monitor of a park using NXP's Rapid IoT kit and Raspberry pi as the gateway
Preparing the Software There are few things needed to do for the software:
Raspbian just follow this link to install the os
Python 2 or 3 Already built in for the raspbian
Pygatt and few of its components $ pip install pygatt $ pip install "pygatt[GATTTOOL]" $ pip install pexpect Pygatt is needed to read the advertisements data from the Rapid IoT kit using the ble connection
cloud4rpi $ pip install cloud4rpi
This is needed to connect the data to the Cloud4rpi iot service I already try various kind of online iot dashboard service such as ubidots, adafruit, thingspeak, etc. For this projects I am gonna use cloud4rpi because of its simplicity and easy to build dashboard system Program the Rapid IoT Kit The code and firmware that used for this projects are attached below. To reserve power I turn off the backlight and only send the data I need for the project. If you want clone the project just import the .atmo files attached above
