Enclosure temperature monitoring system for FANUC ROBONANO machine

Primary LanguageC++

Temperature and Humidity monitoring system using ESP32

The repository contains the scripts that are used to program an ATOM-Lite from M5Stack.

Highlights

  • Uses MODBUS RTU over RS485 to read data from the sensors attached.
  • The microcontroller used is an Atom-Lite from M5Stack.
  • The sensors used were TSH300v2 and TST300v2.
  • The data were collected sequentially from the sensors over a predetermined time interval.
  • Once data were collected it was sent to AWS servers over MQTT.
  • The number of sensors in the setup is 6
    • More sensors can be added by updating the variable const uint8_t num_sensors = ?.
    • For the above update, sensors should be of a similar type.
  • Fail-safe has been implemented for the cases of WiFi disconnect or AWS disconnect.

MQTT Topic Details

  • Publishing topic b1164/01/temperature_humidity
    • where 01 is the Device ID. The IoT devices sending data to the AWS servers were categorized by the Device ID
  • Subscribing topic b1164/01/parameters
    • Topic to control the IoT devices from the cloud

Running the Code

Steps

  • Use vscode with PlatformIO
  • Plug in an Atom-Lite through USB
  • Upload the program using the vs code's platformIO interface
  • Open Serial Monitor for verification

Dashboard

Consideration

  • Change the topics and AWS secret keys appropriately for your new IoT device.
  • Change the device ID appropriately, if you are uploading to multiple devices.
  • Change the WiFi credential appropriately.
    • If using UWNet, then make sure that the device's Mac Address is added to the UWNet. Otherwise, you won't be able to connect to the internet.
  • Verify the sensor's Slave address.
  • Ensure that the num_sensors variable is set to the correct number of sensors.
  • Different sensors will have different registers to read. This code is only for the sensor TSH300v2. If you are using other sensors, make sure to do the following
    • Update register addresses
    • Update the number of registers to read
    • Update the data conversion requirements
