Sensor Data Monitoring With Edison (Intel IoT)

This instructable is for integrating the grove sensors and actuators with Intel Edison by NodeJS and monitor the data of the sensors like air quality, Sound, Temperature, Light, Touch and LED, Buzzers.

This requires node modules:

mraa: GPIO,

moment-timezone: Date in specific timezone,

mathjs: logarithmic and mathematical calculations,

upm: LCD & i2c connectivity.

Step 1: Sensors and Actuators Connection to Intel Edison

Connect the sensors and actuators as:

Temperature Sensor - Analog Pin 0,

Light Sensor - Analog Pin 1,

Sound Sensor - Analog Input 2,

Air Quality Sensor - Analog Pin 3,

Touch Sensor - Digital Pin 2,

Buzzer -Digital Pin 3,

LED -Digital Pin 4.

Step 2: Programming Edison

Clone the repository -

git cone https://github.com/Shachindra/edisonProjectIoT.gi...

from https://github.com/Shachindra/edisonProjectIoT

check the file named as: SensorActuatorTest.js

install the modules (if not installed)

npm install mraa

npm install mathjs

npm install moment-timezone

after installation

node SensorActuatorTest.js

& see the code running in console.!

Step 3: Extras

Use forever to run the program continuously;

npm install forever

forever start SensorActuatorTest.js

Check for Forever Process:

forever list

Getting GPS Data Serially:

Hook up your GPS Device as-

GPS TX - Edison RX

GPS RX - Edison TX

then install serialport module as

npm install serialport

node ReadSerialData.js

See the GPS data in Console.

I used a u-blox NEO-6 GPS Module (as seen in the picture).

More sensors can be connected and Data can be monitored.

Moreover the data can also be sent to the cloud for realization and graph plotting using iotkit agent, plotly, xively, etc. but that is going to be in my next instructable :-)
