Inside the Internet of Things - Bryon Moyer Blog
[From the last episode: we reviewed and summarized our discussions over the last few months.] OK, so we’re back on track with sensors. And, specifically, we’ve been looking at motion sensors, starting with accelerometers. But we’re done with those (for now); we move next to a necessary companion to the […]

[From the last episode: Meglab uses IoT technology in mines to keep miners safer, keep track of equipment, and manage ventilation.] OK, we’ve covered a lot of ground since May. Let’s take a big breath and review! We took a quick detour to look at an Alexa bug that ended […]

[From the last episode: We saw how we could take mechanical motion and turn it into an electrical signal.] Today we take a break from the technical stuff and look at another industrial example of the IoT. We’ve already looked at a couple of farming ones (SoilCares and Hands-Free Hectare). […]

[From the last episode: We can design an accelerometer that measures all three dimensions, or degrees of freedom.] OK, so, so far, we’ve seen that we can use small movements in our accelerometer proof mass to detect acceleration. And we can tell how much acceleration there is by how much […]

[From the last episode: We can measure inertia in six independent ways (degrees of freedom): 3 in a straight line and 3 with rotation.] We saw a couple posts ago that we can build an accelerometer that senses when we move up or down. But last time we saw that […]
