Coming into this assignment, I wanted to test a temperature and humidity sensor that I had laying around, but I think it is dead, which was not an encouraging start.
I swapped it out for a TMP36GZ temp sensor from the shop and my readings from the sensor were not what I was looking for, but I ignored that inaccuracy and jumped into the data dashboard lab. As long as I had data coming in, the sensor details could be fixed later.
I was feeling nervous about completing this lab, but once I read through it and realized it was basically everything Tom did in class, I felt more confident as I went through the steps with incremental success. Everything went smoothly!
Now I just have to finagle the sensor data to make it read what I want...
Starting to build a data device dashboard...
Step 1: Get a nano iot [borrow from the shop]
Step 2: Pick an environmental sensor... grabbed a TMP36GZ from the shop
Step 3: Talk to Martin, who offered some advice about how to go about this assignment
Step 4: Follow the Data Device Dashboard walkthrough
Borrow Tom's WiFiTCPClientLogger example
Build "arduino_secrets.h"
Connect to Terminal [success!]
Send data to json file [success!!!]
Use terminal to tee json file to localhost [success!!!!]
And then connect it to Tom's sample HTML dashboard [succcccessss]
