This is project I worked this weekend. The project use Intel Edison and BMP180 sensor for the weather data. Using Cylon.js I collect the sensor data display it on Freeboard.io using Pubnub real-time communication.
Cylon.js is a powerful JavaScript robotic framework based on Node.js and supports multiple development platform and different sensors. You can install Cylon.js on Intel Edison and use it to create powerful programs. In this project I use Pubnub for real-time communication and Freeboard.io is used to create beautiful dashboard. You can also send sensor data to IoT Cloud solutions and use it for processing. I am using Intel XDK IoT Edition for development.
Prepare and install on Intel Edison
To run this project, first you have to setup the Intel Edison, this link has the detailed instructions to setup the board. Then download install the Intel XDK Iot Edition from here. Download the project from GitHub, open and upload to the board. Please note that you have to use the XDK's Compile/Build options, this will fetch cylon.js and all the necessary modules and install it on Edison.
