Using IoT on edge devices
Now let's consider a case study on edge devices in IoT.
IoT has recently been adopted in several industries, for example, in the fields of weather forecasting and agriculture; however, the basic composition is the same. Various data acquired by the edge device is sent to the server-side platform, such as the cloud, and the data is handled and visualized on the server side, which is full of resources. There are various ways to visualize, but in the simplest case, it will be to output the necessary data values to the log as a standard output.
In this chapter, I would like to consider the edge device part in the use case of IoT. This is about handling the sensor data, acquired using the sensor module, before it goes to the server side for formatting and narrowing down.
What are the different kinds of sensors?
The following sensors are often used at the experimental level of IoT:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Gyroscope (acceleration, angular...
