The document is a presentation about getting started with IoT using only a laptop. It discusses introductory concepts of IoT and different hardware platforms like the BBC micro:bit, Arduino Uno, and Raspberry Pi that can be used. It also covers IoT software options for coding on these platforms using emulators and online editors. Example IoT applications discussed include monitoring cow heat cycles on a farm.

The Connected Cow

22. Getting started with IoT with only your laptop – © Pete Gallagher – PJG Creations - 2018
The Connected Cow
“To identify a cow in heat, you need to
spend at least 20-30 minutes in the
stables, four to five times a day”

23. Getting started with IoT with only your laptop – © Pete Gallagher – PJG Creations - 2018
 Oestrus only lasts between 12-18 hours….
 Only once per 21 days
 Normally occurs between 10pm and 8am
 Traditionally detected by visual monitoring
 70% Conception Rate
 Only 55% probability of correctly identifying oestrus
 Pregnancy Rate of 39%
