Building fully open climatic monitoring system

OSGeo's Open Monitoring System WG hackathon

This event was held in Italy, in San Michele all'Adige at Fondazione Edmund Mach OSM. The event is a workshop to learn how to create a open climatic monitoring system. The dates are 6th and 7th December 2016.

Hackaton in FEM

Program

Day 1

• 09:00 Introduction, Open Software and Open Hardware (Talk)
• 10:00 introduction to OGC Sensor Observation Service with istSOS (Talk)
• 10:30 coffee break
• 11:00 Arduino IDE: troubleshooting, compiling (Talk+hands-on)

   Download the IDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
   Blink example (hands-on)
   //BLINK EXAMPLE, switch on and off the Arduino board LED
   void setup() { 
     pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); // Will connect to the board LED
   }
   void loop() {
     digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
     delay(3000);                       // wait for 3 seconds
     digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
     delay(2000);                       // wait for 2 seconds
   }

• 12:30 Lunch
• 13.30 Arduino hands on: blink (cntd) and temperature, temperature and humidity, other sensors like CO2 (Hands on)
• 14:00 Introduction to weather station (Talk)

   Each station consists of an Arduino microcontroller, 
   a weather shield, a GSM board, weather sensors, and 
   a micro-SD card. Access to the manuals for assembling, 
   maintaining and programming the stations can be found at:

• 14:30 Discover weather station components (Hands on)
• 15:00 coffee break
• 15:30 Building weather station (Hands on)
• 17:30 end

Day 2

• 09:00 Soldering workshop (Hands on)
• 10:00 Prototyping your own sensor system and introduce arduino enslaved to raspberrypi (Talk)
• 10:30 coffee break
• 11:00 Prototyping your own sensor system and introduce arduino enslaved to raspberrypi (Hands on)

   import serial,sys
   ser = serial.Serial("/dev/USB0", 9600)
   while 1:
       sys.stdout.write(ser.readline())
       sys.stdout.flush()

• 12:30 Introduction about communication: GSM, Wifi, RF, USB (Talk)
• 13:00 Lunch
• 14:00 Connecting to istSOS for data management, analysis and distribution
• 15:30 coffee break
• 16:00 Connecting to istSOS for data management, analysis and distribution (cont.)
• 17:00 end
