Research and finding

This week my research continue research about the IoT platform.From the article and video in the internet i found the another one of free cloud account for my project.The development platform is IoT Gecko Gecko is a free IoT system development platform for student ,researches and developer Gecko provide the tools and support to design user IoT based system with ease.

Features IoT Gecko

• Efficient GUI Builder
• Process Sensor Value over IoT
• Operate Motor Over IoT
• 2 way communication 
• Develop enterprise level IoT system
• Online Development Support 
• Easy debugging 
• API support

In this week I'm continue my research about the open source IoT platform.Most of the journal i read they used Things Speak as their IoT platform is an IoT analytics platform service that allow user to aggregate ,visualize and analyze live data stream in the cloud.Things Speak provide instant visualization of data posted by your devices to thingSpeak. Below is the block diagram of system IoT.

ThingSpeak Features

• Easily configure devices to send data to ThingSpeak using popular IoTprotocols
• Visualize sensor data in real time 
• Aggregate data on demand from third party sources
• Use power of  MATLAB to make sense of IoT data
• Run IoT analytics automatically based schedules or events
• Prototype and build IoT system without setting up severs or developing web software

Internet of Things IoT

In my project i will use IoT to monitor my system .The Internet of Things ( IoT) is a system of integrated computing device ,mechanical and digital machines , objects , animals, or people that are provided with unique identifier and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human to human or human to computer interaction .Basic understanding about IoT is a the equipment is install with sensor.The sensor is use to provide data.Sensor is the most vital element in IoT.

Internet and its application are increased in this digital generations make the device communicate interact and sharing over wireless media.In my project the bin is connected with the internet to display the information about the dustbin level .Below is the video how it work .

A successful project needs to have right steps.I have coming out flow chart that showing the process and steps that I have to  take.

Research and finding

In week 2 research is continue with micro controller Espresso Lite V2.0 .It is an affordable wifi development  board design by Singapore based IOT company .It uses the ESP 8266 chip-set as the main micro controller and support the the arduino environment.All the information about the Espresso Lite http://www.espressolite.com/let-s-get-started can be reach here

The board consists of following distinctive features:

• Espressif's certified ESP -WROOM-02 Wifi Module (which houses the popular 32-bit 80Mhz ESP 8266 SoC with 64kb RAM & 4Mb flash)
• Two user programmable buttons (connected to pin 0 & 13 ) and a reset button 
• Green SMD LED indicator 
• On board 3.3 V  voltage regulator with maximum current of 800mA continuos ,1A peak
• Input voltage Vin:5 -12VDC operating voltage at 3.3VDC
• Support arduino IDE with own board manager and libraries
• Auto program loading from arduino IDE ;no manual resetting required
• Custom-arranged 12 C pads for 12-C compliant sensor or OLED LC display
• Breakout point are breadboard -friendly

From my readers it recommend to use IDE to program and upload to sketches to Espresso Lite.I will install the software later.
