Using more accurate temperature sensor with my Raspberry Pi

When I stumbled upon the MCP9808 precision temperature sensor, I was sold based upon its promise of up to 0.25 degrees Celsius accuracy. Just like my Freescale Xtrinsic sensor board, there’s a Python library that that allows me to use the MC9808 temperature sensor with my Raspbbery Pi. My one and only challenge was doing… Continue reading Using more accurate temperature sensor with my Raspberry Pi

How to send sensor data from Raspberry Pi to Azure Event Hub using a Python script

This post follows what I intended to do which is to pump sensor data consisting of temperature and altitude readings from the Xtrinsic sensor board to my Azure Event Hub named getfityall. The sensor board comes with some Python scripts already as you have seen in my earlier posts. Coupled with Microsoft Azure Python packages from the SDK,… Continue reading How to send sensor data from Raspberry Pi to Azure Event Hub using a Python script

Fresh raspberry pi at my service

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. pi@raspberryclay ~/rpi_sensor_board $ sudo python mpl3115a2.py MPL3115: Alt. 100.24 Temp:… Continue reading Fresh raspberry pi at my service

Sending sensor board data from Raspberry Pi to Intelligent Systems Service (ISS)

I have been mucking around with the Xtrinsic-sense board which is an add-on to my Raspberry Pi. In my previous post, I had executed the Python scripts that came with the sensor library that I cloned out of this github. There is a good article that explains about how to enable Xtrinsic-sense board in Raspbian. However… Continue reading Sending sensor board data from Raspberry Pi to Intelligent Systems Service (ISS)
