Real Time Sensor Data | Email | Raspberry-Pi

          Raspberry Pi is an single chip tiny computer board which comes up with the several internal features. It's been used for several purposes. Today I came up with the Idea of Sending the Real Time Sensor Data via Gmail. Work begins... Before jumping into it. Setting up of your pi is important

Hardware Required

Required Items

Software Required

  • Python Interpreter   (No need any Special Download. Built-in with Raspbian)

Pi - Python

Wiring to Sensor

          As mentioned earlier I used HC-SR04 Ultrasonics sensor to read it's data. The connection between the sensor and the R-pi is shown.

Pin Connections

 Coding Time...

          We are going to write the code in Python. Make sure you have an updated version of python in your jessie of your R-pi. If you don't have, do this

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install python3

after this is done, just copy the code and paste in your python Editor window not in Interpreter window. Save the file.

Note: For the sender's mail, the less security app should be allowed in the Gmail to access it through Python

Coding

          After this, the code is complied and Runned by either simply pressing F5 or from the Terminal window of your R-pi. Save the file in the home directory so that we can run from multiple windows.

Running From Terminal

python filename.py

Terminal Run code

Received Mail

          Wow... Worked. Here we go.. I got a mail from the Sensor.

Mail

Prototype

          The below shown is my prototype. If you develop one. Share your prototype design also in the comment below.

Thank you

A2XWY; A2XFY Cables meaning; XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables

Technical Specification of Aluminum Cables in terms of codes So many times you have seen coding while specifying cables technical such as A2XWY now what does this means. Now there is nomenclature for the same which is used while describing the same. Where A -  Aluminium 2X- XLPE Insulation W – Steel round wire armour F- Steel Strip Armour WW- Double Steel round Armour FF- Double Steel Strip Armour Y- PVC outer Sheath Wa- Non Magnetic round wire Armour Fa- Non Magnetic Strip Armour AW- Aluminum Wire Armour Now As per A2XWY – This describes that it is Aluminum cable, XLPE insulated, With Steel round wire armour and having PVC outer Sheath. This coding is as per IS 7098(Part1):1988. You have also seen that there is coding for copper so there is no coding required in case of copper cables. XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables/ Thermoplastic cables:- 1.       XLPE cables have higher Power rating about 1.2 times PVC cables 2.       XLP...

Digital Multimeter working principle; DMM working

Image
Digital multimeters are most widely used in every industry as it used for measurement of Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance and various other parameters. DMMs have been available for very several years. Yet it is still challenging to locate advice about how a digital multimeter works. The operation of a digital multimeter is comparatively uncomplicated, although there are obviously differences in how digital mulimeters work if they're from different makers.Despite this, there are several similarities and some general principles of how digital multimeters work. Fundamentals of how a DMM functions The key process occurring within a digital multimeter for any measurement is that of voltage measurement. All other measurements are derived from this basic measurement. So the best technique for understanding how a digital multimeter functions is in understanding this procedure. There are many kinds to digital converter, ADC. Nonetheless the one that is most widely used DMMs in di...

Wireless voltmeter using Arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter

Image
In this project i showed you how to make a wireless voltmeter using arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter. You can use this code and concept for many other projects, any project which used sensor with analog voltage output to sense temperature, gas leakage or light , etc. For example you can put a LM35 temperature sensor rather than potantiometer, you just have to putting its formula which convert LM35 output pin voltage to exact temperature. You also can make a wireless AC or DC power meter by doing some change in code and hardware (using hall effect current sensor and single phase voltage sensor). This type of RF module has distance range up to 200 meters according to datasheet but when i bought this RF module from Aliexpress its distance rang was very low, but i set its adjustable RF coil very carefully and i get very higher distance rang.(Don't play with RF coil if your module works good), You also have to use a 6 inch antenna to increase distance range to max as possi...
