Ship IoT with Kinoma Create and PubNub

This demonstrates reading a Texas Instruments LM35 precision temperature sensor with a Kinoma Create, and sending the data to an exchange on PubNub.

Usage

Setup instructions: IMPORTANT! You must set the pins before every time you start the app! If the app crashes, you should check the pins again before re-launching it!

Connect the temperature probe

Connect the LM35 to the left-most pins on the front
The flat face of the TO-92 case should face you and the screen

Set the pins

From the Kinoma launcher, select the Front Pins app
Make sure the switch for the left block of pins is set to 3.3v
Tap on the left block of pins to open it up
Tap on pin 51, and select Power
Tap on pin 52, and select Analog
Tap on pin 53, and select Ground
Tap on the back arrow, in the upper-left of the screen
Tap the Apply button, and then the Apply button again
The temperature probe should now be powered; check with a meter

Load the app to the Kinoma

Open Kinoma Studio
File -> Import... -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace; then hit Next
Select shipiot-kinoma-create-pubnub as root directory, click Finish
Edit the src -> main.xml file and put in your PubNub keys
In Project Explorer, open shipiot-kinoma-create -> src -> application.xml
Make sure your hardware Kinoma device appears (must be on the network and running)
Click the little gear for the hardware Kinoma
Check the box "Install on Launch"
Click Apply, and then Run
The app should be uploaded to the Kinoma
Click Stop in Kinoma Studio to stop the local debug session

Notes

The trouble with the LM35 directly in the Kinoma pin header is that the Kinoma dissipates enough heat to keep the sensor at about body temperature. This makes it hard to demo the temperature changing much by touching or breathing on the sensor.
Use a short cable if you have it handy. A long cable may cause instability or oscillation; be careful.
