Building fully open climatic monitoring system

OSGeo's Open Monitoring System WG hackathon

This event will be 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.

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
