Automated Zen Sand Garden on a coffee table comes to life whenever someone comes into the room. New pattern created.

I would like this board to learn about stepper motors.  With the included sensors, I think I would make a hunting decoy that has some movement.

Interesting board.  Not uncommonly, I need to run extended testing on electronic subsystems in environments (DO-164) wherein opening and closing the environment is detrimental to the testing itself.  IoT boards such as this have the potential to allow remote automation of a number of both sensor and control within the sealed environment.

when battery conditions at my off-grid home dictate need for running the diesel system it will run unattended for hours or even days. Unexpected things often happen causing an error shutdown. Some of the unexpected happenings in the past could have been addressed with large solenoids or stepper motors making adjustments instead of causing a shutdown. One of the next projects will be automated oil and filter change if I’m not around when the 300 hour deadline is exceeded.

I’m hoping to use this board to help develop a new controller for my Nissan Leaf which will allow, shall we say, some performance improvements in the areas of acceleration, top speed, and road-holding.

Do you not have proof reading where you are? Is Donald Trum in charge? It’s ‘fill out’ not ‘fill our’. Generate automated sensing and behavioral protocol responding for survey data acquisition.

I would use this board to develop low voltage systems for converting a combustion car to an electric car. I would also like to use the sensors to automate most functions like temperature control in the car

I’m helping a teacher at my wife’s school outfit a crash dunny with sensors to demonstrate the effect of different impacts on the brain. The device board with built in Bluetooth LTE would help us plot the data on an Android real time. Pretty exciting!

I would build an interactive slot machine.

Automated Speed Breakers for vehicles
whenever a moving vehicle will approach a point where the speed breaker is supposed to be implemented an IoT system will detect the vehicle and its speed. If the speed of the vehicle is more than a predefined limit then the IoT system will command the system in the vehicle to lower its speed. in this way a vehicle will always stay in the speed limits.

This is perfect for greenhouse/aquaponics project I’m working on!

WiFi /BLE support can be used to configure the system wirelessly in addition to retrieving logged data.
Touch sensor for manually toggling controls.
PIR sensor to turn on the lights when I walk in 😊
Ambient light sensor for logging the average light the plants receive.
Stepper motor: control the blinds/sun shades in addition to the aquaponics automation system motors.
LED shield: For powering the lighting.

All these work pretty well for a home automation/smart building system too.
Automatic lighting to save power: based on motion in the room and the light coming in through the windows.

A robot that automatically measures the frequency response of a room by moving to different points, making the measurements, and reporting the measurements to software to calculate the response.  Many times the measurements are made, adjustments to the room are made (acoustic treatments or EQ), then the measurements must be made again.  This is repeated until the desired response is achieved -  a time consuming process.  Having a faster, repeatable method of measurement and analysis would save the acoustic engineer many hours.  Also,  for quick live deployments, the robot could do a quick area sweep to find the desired EQ curves to optimize response.

Small solar panel array control.  Indoor hydroponics LED grow light control (time on/off), humidty and temperature plots (24 hrs). Other needs:  water acidity level and nutrient scheduling.

To design a Smart home IoT device this IoT development kit is a suitable to utilize all the functionalities such as:
PIR Sensor: PIR motion sensor can sense the human movement so it can be used to switch ON/OFF lights when we enter inside or leave the room automatically in smart home.
Ambient light Sensor: This sensor help in automatically switching ON street lights when there is a light fall, it will switch OFF in morning as soon as it receive the sun light.
Dual Stepper motor shield: 1. Stepper motor is used interfaced to this board to open and close the windows or ventilators for proper visibility or for air circulation. 2. Other stepper motor interfaced to shield can be used to open the cupboard doors by touching the touch sensor instead of pulling the cupboard.
Touch Senor: It has 8 channels of touch interface so after using one for cupboard we have seven to switch ON/OFF home appliances like tube lights, ceiling fans, geezer, water pump, coffee maker, entertainment system etc.
Dual LED+ Ballast shield: This can be used to turn ON/OFF lights in living room, kitchen as we wish.
IoT Development Kit Base Board: is the host of multiple hardware combination of Sensor, Actuators and Connectivity defined for the IoT application hardware.
This device is the best suitable IoT device can be utilize in homes, shops, offices, hospitals, schools, industries, etc. It will be good chance to showcase its importance by programming and can control remotely using the wireless connectivity features. As on my experience in programming to MCU this will be good piece of IoT kit to design Smart home IoT device to control home appliance remotely using API and at home manually.

In every home we have pets like dogs, cats, ducks, hens, goats, sheep, alpacas, Shetlands, llamas, rabbits, Parrots, etc for a person’s company or protection. A separate shelter like kennel, coop, hutch, cage, and nest are arranged for them to live. Keeping animals as pets may be detrimental to their health if certain requirements are not met. An important issue is improper sheltering, which may produce clinical effects. Health monitoring and automatic care should be taken to reduce the clinical effects of pets. Proper ventilation for air circulation regarding to day and night, depending on seasons should be done when the pets are in their shelters. In order to make the pet home smarter we are using IoT development kit to monitor health and automated the pet home as the pet requirement. The on-board sensors are used to monitor the pets and their health conditions during their stay in their homes. The sensor purpose is explained in below for making the smarter pet home/shelter.
PIR Motion Sensor: To identify whether the pet is arrived to its shelter or not. If arrived then the windows shutter will open or exhaust fan ON or Mini AC/cooler temperature range is set depending on the surrounding temperature. Once the pet comes out they should have to switch OFF automatically.
Temperature & Humidity sensors: The temperature and humidity of the environment is measured and accordingly the fan or Cooler or windows shutter are operated for pet health care. In winter cold they should not expose for snow and in summer they should not expose for warmness. Appropriate temperature and humidity maintenance is important for pet to avoid clinical effects.
Ambient light sensor: This sensor helps the solar charger to start charging to batteries depending on the available light. Pet shelter can be smarter if we are using solar energy to power the pet appliances. It can save energy to batteries and alert when it requires the line power during cloudy conditions/nights.
Touch sensor: Signal to feed food if they are hungry than the normal timing or use to open the solenoid valve for drinking water. For this we need to connect buzzer to raise alarm.
Dual LED+ Ballast shield: This can be used to turn ON/OFF lights in pet home.
Stepper motor shield: Stepper motor is used interfaced to this board to open and close the windows or ventilators for proper visibility or for air circulation.
The on-board sensors in IoT development kit are very much helpful to design smart pet home. In my opinion this is the appropriate development kit which will fit for the pet home to me smarter. Thus we can keep proper health conditions for our beloved pets. The status of pet house can be monitored remotely using the wireless connectivity.

I would like to use the system for controlling antenna rotation on radio direction finding systems.

Could be good kit for testing data reading and functionalities of sensors at heavy moist areas. And how moist affect on sensors and actuators in long term.
