In Tuesday's Big Data Analytics class, I invited Gayathri Srinivasan to kick off the Internet of Things (IoT) module. Gaya is a Business Development Executive of IoT at IBM. Gaya introduced the benefits of Internet of Things, the IBM IoT Foundation, how students could leverage IBM Bluemix to build IoT applications. Gaya also presented a Hackathon opportunity for students to win cool prizes for their semester projects.
During the class, I presented a demo of the little temperature/moisture sensor I built that is able to connect to Cloud and the IBM bluemix application to visualize realtime capture of the temperature and moisture data sent from the sensor. Below is a picture of the major devices used, mainly the Arduino Uno R3 board and a Arduino ethernet shield. The little blue thingy is the temperature and moisture sensor. Students went through a lab exercise of building a Twitter Bot using IBM Watson personality module and a temperature sensor App using simulated sensor.
