Global IoT Day Team Challenges

Since there will many people at the event with many different skills we are planning for several team challenges to more easily help each other out.

If you feel for it why not try one team out first and then join another.

Team 1: Script sensing and control

Skill easy

In this team you don’t use any hardware. Just python scripts

• Use python to read sensor data from provided XMPP available sensors
• Use python to send control messages to XMPP available actuators
• Make logic based on sensing information and send control messages to other teams

Team 2: Led control

Skill easy

• make a switch turn on a led locally on a raspberry
• Use XMPP to make the switch turn on a led on another raspberry

Team 3: Light intensity sensing

Skill easy

using a light sensor mean that you have to do an analog input and to create that on the raspberry you need a capacitor and measure time.

• create the software to read the light level.
• create the software to set a trigger level of light so when the light reaches a level you turn a Led light on
• Use XMPP and interact with another raspberry to control the led

Team 4: Humidity, temperature sensing

skill medium

The humidity sensor is a serial device which needs serial programming towards a GPIO pin on the raspberry

• Create software to interact with the sensor to read humidity and temperature
• make the values available over XMPP

Team 5 Industrial IO

skill medium

In industry applications dedicated IO equipment is used to sense and control signals in the factory these are based on a serialbus called RS485

• create software to use a usb serial port and communicate the serial protocol towards the devices
• model the signals and create a XMPP model of the data to be able to remotly read and write data in the IO devices.

Team 6 Infrared lego train

skill hard

Lego is controling the lego train with infrared signals

• Connect the infrared sensor and sender to the raspberry
• create software to learn infrared signaling
• create software to send back the signals
• Make the control of the train available over XMPP standard

Team 7 Infrared light control

Skill hard

There is many cheap led lights on Jula and clas ohlsson learn the infrared codes and control the led strips

• Connect the infrared sensor and sender to the raspberry
• create software to learn infrared signaling
• create software to send back the signals
• Make the control of the lights available over XMPP standard

Team 8 Extending the frameworks and integrate another protocol

Skill hard

• extend the python XMPP environment with the extension concentrator and integrate another bus system that you have knowledge about
