Hardware setup
With a lot of information on IoT provided in the previous section, we are going to make a small IoT project of our own this time. This hardware setup will be a very easy setup compared to the previous chapters. The hard work we did in Chapter 5, Using an ADC to Interface any Analog Sensor with the Raspberry Pi, will be very helpful to us. We will be using the sensor station to get the data of the temperature sensor. Listing down the needs for this chapter, we will require the following:
A sensor station
A temperature sensor (LM35/TMP36)
A GPIO ribbon cable for Raspberry Pi model B (26 pin), A+ (40 Pin) or B+ (40 pin), or RasPi 2 model B (40 Pin); female-to-female
Male-to-female and female-to-female jumper wires
A Raspberry Pi, a power adapter, an Ethernet cable, a personal computer
Connect the sensor station using the ribbon cable. Power up the RasPi with the power adapter, and start the session in PuTTY using your personal computer. Cross-verify that your computer is sharing the...
