By -
Orange Pi is a series of cheap single-board computers. It can run  It can run Android 4.4, Ubuntu, Debian, Rasberry Pi Image.
In this post, I tried to install Eclipse Kura on a Orange Pi Zero which has  the AllWinner H2 SoC, and has 512MB DDR3 SDRAM.
This board will be the next generation for our system (Agrinode project).
The fist step, we install Kura on the board and test is to verify that it can work correctly as the Raspberry Pi.

OpenHab2 - MQTT binding demo This demo demonstrates how to use MQTT binding addon in OpenHAB2 installed into Orange Pi zero. The idea is very basic. A switch is created on default sitemap. When you turn on the switch, it sends "ON" message to Topic  /office/light  via MQTT broker that is installed on Orange Pi. When you turn off the switch, it sends "OFF" message to Topic  /office/light . Require Openhab2 MQTT broker installed. First, install MQTT binding via paperui Define all the brokers which you want to connect to, in your  services/mqtt.cfg  file. cd /etc/openhab2/services sudo nano mqtt .cfg Edit the file as follow # # Define your MQTT broker connections here for use in the MQTT Binding or MQTT # Persistence bundles. Replace <broker> with an ID you choose . # # URL to the MQTT broker, e.g. tcp://localhost: 1883 or ssl://localhost: 8883 mosquitto.url=tcp://localhost: 1883 # Optional. Client id ( max 23 chars) to us...

My latest publication: Environment monitoring system for agricultural application based on wireless sensor network

By -
Image
This paper proposes an Internet of Thing system architecture based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for agricultural applications. The system consists of sensor nodes and a gateway, which allows a user to monitor environmental data for agriculture using a web browser. The sensor node is a microcontroller based Arduino including wireless module and connected sensors such as temperature, relative humidity, luminosity, air pressure and other sensors. A WiFi interface is deployed to exchange the environmental information from sensor nodes to the gateway running Linux. The gateway manages and transfers data to a Cloud where data were stored and visualized as graphs. For more infomation: https://goo.gl/zhRQze
