IOT project

For this group project we made use of an ultrasonic sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi to measure how much volume is present in a silo. This was realised to be able to know when the silo should be refilled. We made a web interface to represent the data.

My main contributions to this project were doing research on the best ways to visualise the data. Eventually we decided to work with Initialstate to make a website. Initialstate has integrated functions that make it possible to create "databuckets" which export data from a Raspberri Pi to the web interface. After making this decision, I also spent most of my time working on this interface. I took care of the visualisation, configuring the backend code and the variables in the code of the Raspberry Pi that exported the data, also the warning messages that had to appear when some values became too high/low.
