pataNairobi 🌍 project

#Overview: pataNairobi project focuses on sharing directories to people who are in need of them. You might be stranded, you want to find someone or a place and you don't have any contacts or data/smartphone at the time. Maybe you are in a jungle with network issues. pataNairobi is the algorithm that takes care of that problem.

You will be able to do the following;

• Chat 💬 with pataNairobi over text messages Send texts not exceeding 12 characters
• Inquire on weather conditions e.g temperature and humidity of Nairobi through text message in real time to prepare for travellers
• Send real time data to Africastalking cloud for analysis.

#Note: Three Eris boards are used in this project;

• For sending and receiving sms (tophone board)
• Hardware resetting of the sms board (resetboard)
• The IoT cloud updating board (todashboard)

CONFIGURATIONS

• tophone board has a personal sim card, the number you send messages to
• resetboard doesn't need to have a sim card
• todashboard has an Africastalking sim card, to communicate with the IOT cloud

CONNECTIONS For now, tophone and resetboard are connected via;

• GND to GND - Common Ground
• PB1 - tophone connected to PB5 - resetboard
• PB1 - resetboard connected to RST pin of the tophone board
• Connect the DHT11 sensor to tophone board via PA7 for the signal

Currently the todashboard works independently It updates sensor data to Africastalking cloud which;

• Can be viewed from a dashboard
• Can be downloaded and analysed

The objective is to make todashboard read the serial data from tophone board and send it to the IOT cloud. Right now both tophone board and todashboard have sensors connected to them independently. With the serial exchange implementation, only the todashboard will be connected to the sensors. All the three boards will be connected and seamlessly working together. Feel free to do these improvements
