 Blog 3 - BinBot/Node-RED


For the Node-Red lab George did an amazing job and creating a lab enviroment to help us understand Node-Red and its uses.

    1. Download Email using Pallette Manager
    1. Create an injection to an email node
    1. Create an MQTT out connection injection that sends drives to the microbits
    1. Create an MQTT in connection and separate them from eachother
    1. Do you have a webhook? Try send some messages to it using injections

these were the exercises we were given the last one was optional as not everyone knew how to operate a webhook.





first execise was done by simply following the UI here

following this screenshot will allow you to complete the first part. Then connecting using Docker . running this command in the cmd
    docker run -it -p 1880:1880 -v node_red_data:/data --name mynodered nodered/node-red




In the injection email section. we embedded a message in the email node and for the injection node we added these fields


the second exercise is being able to send an output to an MQTT for example we used Igors' MQTT and i sent the number 3. this was done using the below fields and using the injection node.

 


BinBot Ideas

 

Above is a rough assignment and ideas we have for the Binbot


BinBot pitch


The BinBot is a project that we will be working on is a fun interactive, inclusive, purposed based waste management. Even though Waterford has been Irelands Tidiest Town. We won't stop at some rubbish! We all want as much rubbish as possible to be properly disposed, roughly 45% of rubbish in Ireland is improperly managed.


We have Binbot. An interactive, intelligent, group-based design to help with our issue with rubbish. With our use of IoT tech. Using our mechanical eyebrows that give our binbot a muppets-esque look, a friendly look that encourages schools to use them for the kids all around Ireland. 


We have all schools in Ireland compete in friendly competition with a ranked leaderboard where schools can use their ranks as leverage for funding and will be known for having a clean school for future students. 


Using Node-RED we can formulate ways for people to check updates on the binbot such as how full the bin will be and where they rank in the leaderboard


Binbot, a fun cleaner future for our kids!

Blog 1 - Igor Kapusniak    About Me My name is Igor Kapusniak, I am currently in my 4th year of studying Applied Computing in S.E.T.U. with a specialisation in Internet of Things and Automotive. My hobbies include running, 3d modelling and 3d printing, and reading books on astronomy/physics.      Bin Bot Project Ideas  Fullness Tracking Track how full the Bin Bot is using ultrasonic sensors and display the information on a dashboard. Audio from the microbit could play when certain fullness thresholds are reached. This could also include automatic notifications when the bin is ready to be emptied. Remote Control Control the Bin Bot remotely from any where using microbits, MQTT, and a dashboard. The Bin Bot could be made to look in a specific direction and make a facial expression using its eyebrows. Text to Speech Implement a text to speech system that allows the Bin Bot to give audio updates or warnings. For example, it could say: I’m almost full, Thank...
