The development process for the ourProbes distributed network Capabilities monitor. This shows development of a micro-controller based IOT probe that connects to Google Cloud IOT backend and the pub/sub of data to a firestore DB. Also a Angular based UI for viewing the data and configuring the probes.
A collaborative checklist application with social network tendencies. I created when first learning Firebase, using Firestore NoSQL database. One day I write this again , but as a enterprise level application, use material vs bootstrap components, use more existing libraries rather than write my own etc. Visit at https://ourchecklists.com/
A Lora radio based IOT application to monitor my boats' health. Checks on my boats'; location, bilge water level, heat and humidity and battery level. Uses LoraWan and The Things Network for connectivity to Google cloud services and my ourLora application. Demonstrates use of Long Range/Low Power radio connectivity for IOT devices, and microPython based sensor nodes. I will also use 3D printing to create a case for the LoraWan node. https://ourLora.com/
OurBoatMonitor is an IOT project to create hardware I can put in my sailboat to monitor its status while it is sitting in its dock. My marina is about 30km away from my home so I want to be able to get updates on things like; the battery voltage, water level in the bilge, humidity and temperature in the boat and location of the boat. It is based on much of the work done in the ourLora project. https://ourBoatMonitor.com/
OurBotManager is a system for managing robots I build, as well as being a catchall for blogging on robotics. The actual robot management system (ourBotManager) will be a way to inventory the robots that I build and to be able to check on their; current capabilities, status, and how to communicate with them. https://ourBotManager.com/
The Bayes Calculator is a 3 part project I did to learn more about Bayes Theorem by building a microcontroler based piece of equipment that would allow me to perform Bayesian calculations.
The Solar Shed project covers adding solar power to my garden shed and then adding automation and remote control for a Ham radio and web security camera.
The Solar Garden project uses a microcontroller to automate the care and feeding of my vegetable garden. It uses micropython, a microDot (WebServer) and an Angular frontend. The hardware is a combination of a pump, drip feeding systems , solar power and environmental sensors.
The OPIMidi project shows how to create a Midi controller using an Orange Pi Zero microprocessor. This will run as a Eurorack module. I will use it to control a Korg NTS-1 and other Midi instruments.
NetProbe is a follow on from the ourProbes project. The IOT Core services from Google are being decommissioned, so I needed a rewrite ourProbes. NetProbe is a simplified version of ourProbes that is used to perform network and host monitoring from a esp32 device.
