Simulate GPS / read Photoresistor with MKR1000 #ArduinoMonday
Thanks to Juan for sharing this project with us! Check out more on hackster.io
How to face IoT, the best is trying and making by your self with real hardware, in my case I began with MKR1000 – Arduino, the second challenge is to send to the web the information, in this case I find the platform from Adafruit.
With this context I decide to read a photo-resistor with the MKR1000 and publish the information with Adafruit IO https://io.adafruit.com/
The idea is to learn by your self how to publish data with Adafruit IO, they have a lot a examples and here is also a way to learn.
The Adafruit IO has a GPS viewer and also a GPS an cellular hardware from FONA
Before to buy such a hardware is a good idea to simulate the data interface, the in this case I generate simulated coordinates but prepared according to the FONA 808 and sent in the right format to Adafruit, in order to have a feeling before to test with real hardware.
The serial monitor from the MKR1000 is showing information to control if all is running OK.
Each Monday is ArduinoMonday here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Arduino related products. Adafruit manufactures the Arduino right here in the United States in cooperation with arduino.cc. We have a huge selection of Arduino accessories and all the code and tutorials to get you up and running in no time!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
