Brandon Satrom and the LANoT

Brandon Satrom Developer evangelist for Particle The founder of Carrot Pants Press Loves to talk about Javascript, open source, microcontrollers, robots, and what ever new shiny tool or technology that is currently distracting him Kitchen Sink of badges designed for Maker Faire San Mateo. Favorite Bagel Blinky of IoT Parker unboxed a Particle Photon Included in the box is a photoresistor, a LED, breadboard, and some resistors Parker built the circuit and programmed the Photon in under 5 minutes Building an IoT Device Spec Sensors 3SP Ethanol 1000 Low Power Consumption of around 10 to 50 uW 0-1000ppm Ethanol range It has 3 analog outputs Vgas which is proportional to the gas we are measuring Vref which is around half the supply voltage and is used as a fixed zero reference Vtemp is the temperature of the sensor used to set the temperature compensation Particle Photon reading the analog outputs of the Spec Sensors 3SP Ethanol 1000 Posts to the cloud about the status of the sensors Code for this can be found here Issues porting the Arduino Code to the Particle Platform Floats -> Doubles Particle.Variable do not show up if you are doing Particle.Publish too fast The relay board is connected to an industrial light tower Light tower - NPTL5-W-E 24V Pull down I/O lines to turn on lights Discount codes for MEP Listeners Particle is giving MacroFab Engineering Podcast listeners a discount Use the URL https://store.particle.io/discount/MacroFabFam to get 15% off anything in the Particle Store For free shipping use the code “"ParticleFamShipping" Gets a free starter kit with the mesh Particle boards by using the code "ParticleFamStarter" Announcements
