With the rise of the Internet of Things, more objects are becoming embedded with sensors and gaining the ability to\u00a0communicate though the web. Advances in wireless networking technology and the greater standardisation of\u00a0communications protocols make it possible to collect data from these sensors in real time from almost everywhere.<\/p>\n
The aim of this experiment is to build a prototype using a Raspberry Pi computer and an Arduino sensors board to\u00a0get an understanding of the process of extracting and reading data from sensors with a view to incorporate this\u00a0technology to processes in the university.<\/p>\n
The choice of hardware used for this experiment includes an Arduino board and a Raspberry Pi computer. This\u00a0choice was made based on the following criteria:
\n\u2022 Cost: the equipment is affordable and inexpensive
\n\u2022 Reliability: Arduino boards are widely used to support sensors and are robust platforms to collect\u00a0information and to test the principles required by the experiment. Raspberry PI as a low cost simplified\u00a0computer platform that can be used as the server\/web end.
\n\u2022 Access: both Arduino boards and Raspberry Pie are open source, what means access to the API to facilitate\u00a0the development.<\/p>\n
