AgriNode Project

AgriNode project: Building A Wireless Sensor Network for Agricultural Application AgriNode project goal is to build an Internet of Things – IoT solutions for various agricultural applications. We successfully developed the AgriNode system which is a Wireless Sensor Network – WSN consisting a gateway and sensor nodes. In the project, We utilized   Low-cost devices (Arduino, Raspberry) and Open-sources IoT platforms (Eclipse Kura, Reactive Blocks).

I also sincerely thank Mr. Tim Jagenberg and Miss Anne Nevin from Bitreactive for the help of building AgriNode project software.

Summary.  This tutorial demonstrates how to build a Kura application into a bundle by using Reactive Blocks . About Reactive Blocks. Bitreactive provides the visual development environment that allows java users build their own IoT applications by simply connecting building blocks. Each Reactive Block is designed for a specific purpose such as connecting to Cloud platform (IBM Watson IoT, Xively,...), providing MQTT protocol, LoRaWAN interface,... Reactive Blocks is a Plugin for Eclipse , which provides a development environment for a developer build a complex application by drag and drop reactive blocks from the Reactive Blocks libraries. For me, I have a very basic knowledge of Java but I can build a complex java application with Reactive Blocks. Each block has a description in the form of input and output pins and contract. In addition, Reactive Blocks provides the analyze and animation tools which are helpful for testing the applications. References: Block b...
