I want a ticket!This isn't your grandfather's electronics shop - anyone can collect real-time data with Python! This talk aims to demystify the complex world of data and hardware, with real-world applications for the Western Australian electricity grid.
With the number of IoT devices expected to reach 29 billion by 2030, the significance of real-time data collection continues to grow. In this session, we will construct a basic microscale/hobby scale data collection system designed to serve as the backbone for an IoT application. Specifically, we will create a system to continuously collect voltage readings from a mini solar panel and record the data for future analysis. The system we develop can be easily adapted for different IoT applications.
This talk is designed to be conceptual, requiring only a basic understanding of Python and JSON. Whether you’re a beginner, hobbyist, or professional, join us to explore the exciting world of data and IoT!
