I am super glad that the items I ordered from Element14 arrived overnight. I got not one but 3 MEMS Sensor board, and it is working well. Proof that I somewhat “overused” the previous board so much so that the temperature and altitude reading stopped working.

I got a new Raspberry Pi too, it’s for my co-worker, Clayton. It’s pretty simple to clone the micro-SD card from raspberryfai and write it on to the new one. Just use the Win32DiskImager. It works like a charm.
Just to make sure my ISS agent which sends the right telemetry data which consists of MEMS sensor temperature/altitude reading, here’s a good OData feed of the data all captured in the cloud.
I’m thinking of the next steps in my experimentation such as:
- Revert to plain old way of sending telemetry data from my Raspberry Pis to Azure Event Hubs using a friendly AMQP client/library.
- Do real-time analytics of multiple data streams from Fitbit, Strava, Raspberry Pi (temperature/altitude). I’ve been mucking around with the new preview of Azure Stream Analytics to some success.
I have 2 more packages of nice toys to be delivered. I’d ordered an Arduino Starter Kit, and 2 Intel Galileo 2, among other nifty breakout boards, sensors, and kits. Stay tuned.
