The basics of functioning


In this project, our BeagleBone Black will collect the weather data through two sensors. But this time, instead of writing a dedicated software, we are going to use ready-made weather station software on our BeagleBone Black board to do the job. While on the remote side, we're going to use the well known Google Docs cloud system to store the data and then present them to the user.

In this manner, we can achieve a (quasi) professional result with minor effort!

In this scenario, our job is to connect the sensors, adapt the weather station software to our hardware in order to read the data from the sensors, and then add the proper code to send our data to a Google Docs spreadsheet.
