“Plotly + Arduino Data Visualization” project video, featuring the Adafruit wifi shield! Thanks to Jack Parmer for sharing! “Some folks on the Plotly team hiked a mountain in BC last month, and streamed a bunch of environmental data at the top to Plotly using an Arduino, wifi shield from Adafruit, and cellular tethering. They made a short, artistic video about the experience…”
And here is the Instructable tutorial for the project:
Plot.ly + Arduino Data Visualization
I’ve been a fan of Arduino for years now, and have used it for building everything from MIDI controllers to simple LED flashers. One thing that has always intrigued me has been visualizing some of the data that I read off of the Arduino Pins.
Plot.ly makes this simple. Really simple.
The purpose of this instructable is to demonstrate how to hook up an Arduino + Ethernet Shield and send data to Plot.ly’s Servers and create beautiful graphs. We will be using a dual temperature+humidity sensor (DHT22), and sending the results directly to Plotly.
Featured Adafruit Product!
Adafruit CC3000 WiFi Shield with Onboard Ceramic Antenna: The CC3000 hits that sweet spot of usability, price and capability. It uses SPI for communication (not UART!) so you can push data as fast as you want or as slow as you want. It has a proper interrupt system with IRQ pin so you can have asynchronous connections. It supports 802.11b/g, open/WEP/WPA/WPA2 security, TKIP & AES. A built in TCP/IP stack with a “BSD socket” interface. TCP and UDP in both client and server mode, up to 4 concurrent sockets. It does not support “AP” mode, it can connect to an access point but it cannot be an access point. (read more)
