Primary LanguageArduino

JMSS Sensoring Project 2.0 - MQTT & NodeMCU Edition

Code is currently not functioning after Monash network changes

###Synopsis

The Sensory Project of JMSS is a joint project with three Australian schools. Each school has there own version of the project in their own school and are individually developing their projects.

The Sensory Project uses sensors, and other hardware (see below) to measure the humidity, light, temperature and sound in the school. Currently we have two sensory systems set up in the school - in Blackburn (west side of top floor) and Wood (east side of top floor).

The data from these sensors are updated onto a real time graph which can be accessed through Monash.

###Motivation

There are a few main motives for this project:

  • to contrast with the sensory data from the schools in Queensland and compare differences in our schooling environments,
  • to compare locations around the school and climatic environments
  • to record issues with the climatic system so we can improve the school's climate (e.g. better implementation of climate systems around the school based on location of students, time, and the like)
  • to see how certain factors in the school affect the school environment (e.g. number of students, weather, time of day etc.)
  • to develop the students' skills in computer science

###Technologies

Client Hardware:

  • 1 x ESP8266 Based NodeMCU Development Board
  • 1 x MCP3008 Analog to Digital Converter
  • 1 x HDC1008 I2C Temperature and Humidity Sensor (or other I2C Compatible)
  • 1 x Freetronics Light Sensor
  • 1 x Freetronics Microphone Sensor
  • 1 x Breadboard
  • Many Breadboard Wires

Broker Hardware:

  • 1 x Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

Libraries used in Arduino Client:

Software concepts used in Raspberry Pi Python Broker:

  • MQTT (MosQUiTTo)

###Tests

Raspberry Pi MQTT Server Setup Steps:

Boot your Raspberry Pi and connect it to the either Eduroam or Guest Wireless.

Type in the terminal commands in order in terminal:

wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-wheezy.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mosquitto

Now the MQTT server will be running on the raspberry pi!

Now do:

sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients python-mosquitto

  1. To test the mqtt server is running, open two terminal windows side by side.

  2. In terminal one:

sudo service mosquitto status
sudo mosquitto_sub -t /test

  1. If this doesn’t say the server is running (in green text), we have a problem, tell someone loudly.

  2. In terminal 2:

sudo mosquitto_pub -t /test -m “THIS IS A TEST!”

In the first terminal, the message “THIS IS A TEST!” should appear.

This concludes the Mosquitto server setup for the Raspberry Pi.

###TO-DO

  1. Computational Averaging
  2. Make it work
  3. Server over WPA2Eduroam
