Pachube Support & Sharing Sensor Data

Update #3 · Jul 11, 2012 · 6 comments

Although most of you understand that Sensordrone is a platform for all kinds of sensor and Bluetooth connected device apps, we continue to get asked about what apps will ship with Sensordrone. We will be making available all of the apps we showed in the videos and in the descriptions. We are hard at work making new apps and some expansion modules, and we’ll work with people to develop new apps/modules. 

One of the new apps we’ll make available after shipment is a Sensordrone Pachube app. What is Pachube? well, Pachube is a site that allows you to store a historical record of your sensed data and share it with the world. This could be weather data, pollution data, or any other data.

www.pachube.com

Last weekend, we made a trip from Buffalo to Erie, PA and back. Along the way we collected Altitude data from Sensordrone’s pressure sensor, and combined it with GPS data from our phone. The data was posted in real time (at that time) to Pachube. With the Sensordrone-Pachube app, you’ll be able to do the same with whatever data you wish to record. The attached picture shows the data gathered/stored on Pachube, as well as the route in Google Maps.

If you’d like to check out this data stream, here’s the link: 

Sensordrone Pachube Stream

This just illustrates 1 potential application. We’ll also be making other data sharing apps, e.g. you’ll be able to tag pictures with sensor data, like weather or pollution data combined with GPS, and post this picture & location/time/sensor data to Google+ or Facebook. Module demos are coming next...

      Peter,

      I used Pachube before. I wonder how the data gets from the Sensordrone to Cosm.

      Is it Sensordrone -> BT -> Smartphone -> 3G/Wifi -> Cosm

      ?

      Stefan,
      Yes, but not yet. Sensordrone will have support for Android, then iOS, then we will build out support for Windows. ETA is still tbd, but we're shooting for sometime next year. That said, we are open to partnering with people to port over to other platforms.

      Stupid question: Is there any SDK available so that I could code a cosm uploader for Windows? I mean can I interface Sensordrone with Windows,( that was what I was essentially asking).

      Forgive my rudeness - but I think Cosm is a far better name than Pachube - it sounds perfect! =)
