INTERACTING WITH THE REAL WORLDSunday, 24 June 12

INTERACTING WITH THE REAL WORLD • The Internet Of Things ... • Billions of small, low-powered, network connected devices • Sensors, e.g light, temperature, water ﬂow, electrical current • Actuators, e.g. turn on/off, open/close, adjust, move • Becoming more prevalent ... • Low cost, open source hardware and software design • Ubiquitous networking: 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee (mesh)Sunday, 24 June 12

NETWORK OF THINGS WAN Backend server Backend server LAN Router Server Router PAN Device Device Device Device Device Device Device Device Device Device Device DeviceSunday, 24 June 12

ARDUINO OVERVIEWSunday, 24 June 12

ARDUINO OVERVIEW • Arduino controller ... • Low cost • Easy to use (program and operate) • Flexible (different sizes and capabilities) • Large and active community • Open-source (everything visible and changeable) • Vast range of affordable sensors and actuators available • Hobbyist and commercial ecology (both important)Sunday, 24 June 12

ARDUINO DESIGNSunday, 24 June 12

ARDUINO DETAILSSunday, 24 June 12

ARDUINO DETAILS • What is an Arduino (some history) • System on a chip ... • Microprocessor and Memory (Flash, RAM, EEPROM) • 13 Digital Input or Output pins • 6 Analog Input pins • Simulate Analog output using Pulse Width Modulation • Standard board form factor (physical layout) • Shields (daughter boards) • Standard cross-platform programming environmentSunday, 24 June 12

ROUTER DETAILSSunday, 24 June 12

ROUTER DETAILS • Common Off The Shelf (COTS) • Cheap: Astonishing what you get for AUS$50 • Comms: 4 + 1 Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi, serial console • USB ports: expansion ... disk, printer, 3G • OpenWRT (Linux distribution): Many packages • Highly hackable :)Sunday, 24 June 12

PROTOCOLSSunday, 24 June 12

PROTOCOLS • Low-power devices and networks need small messages • MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) • Connect, Publish, Subscribe, Ping, Disconnect • Topics • Asynchronous messages • Last will and testament (in case of failure) • Aiko platform: Software for the Internet of Things (M2M)Sunday, 24 June 12

SMART ENERGY GROUPSSunday, 24 June 12

SMART ENERGY GROUPS • “We can’t effectively change, what we don’t measure” • Web site for monitoring and managing electric appliances • Open hardware (Arduino) for measurement and control • Puts you in control of your own data • Local company, based in Melbourne, owned by Sam Sabey • http://smartenergygroups.comSunday, 24 June 12
