Executive Summary
This project involves setting up sensors of different kind around our campus (IIT Mandi) and collecting the data for further analysis. The sensors are of various kinds like temperature, pressure, altitude, anemometer, rainfall, gas sensors. There will be multiple sensors of each type, collecting data after every few minutes and then going off to sleep. The data collected by sensors is send to a server over WiFi and most reasonable values are selected and graph plots are displayed over the internet on a website or web-portal.

A simple prototype has been built that has been gathering temperature and pressure data on a Beagle Bone and logging the data on a separate server since 18-Aug-2015 by Mr.Mark. The current data can be seen [HTTP://10.8.7.185/weather/plotWeather.html here].

The data received from different sensors widely differ from the actual values.

Packaging
Sensors we used are Temperature and humidity sensor(SHIT15)

Dallas Temperature sensor(DS18B20)

Altitude and pressure sensor(mpl3115a2) wifi module(esp8266)

Temperature and humidity sensor(HIH6130)

Infrared temperature sensor

Hydrogen sensor (HQ 8)

Methane sensor(HQ 4)

Temperature and humidity sensor(SHIT15), Dallas Temperature sensor(DS18B20), Altitude and pressure sensor(mpl3115a2), wifi module(esp8266),Temperature and humidity sensor(HIH6130),Infrared temperature sensor, all are well protected we cannot add some outer packing to them because when we tried doing this it was giving us wrong values,eg SHIT15 was giving raised temperature inside the packing.The extra packing which we could only give was keeping all the sensors in a box and making the main sensing equipment exposing out to the environment.

Installation Instructions
Our project git repo.

This where you get what all we have done for our project setting up. If you are using the bone for the first time, refer the | Beginner's Guide for detailed instructions on how to setup your Beaglebone,

1. Setting up Proxy (Skip this step if you have a direct connection to the internet)

Any installation or downloads are done via the proxy server, so remember to set the proxy in your BeagleBone(after you install Debian) and host machine. Add the following lines in /etc/environment http_proxy="http://10.8.0.1:8080" https_proxy="http://10.8.0.1:8080" This is the proxy server in | IIT Mandi. Set it to point to the proxy server of your university.

2. Installing Debian

This project uses a BeagleBone Black running Debian Wheezy. For instructions on how to install, follow the instructions | here

3. Installing required Modules

For cloud connectivity, install the 'require' module on the host by running npm install -g require

That is what is required for starting up

User Instructions
This information will be provided in future as our project is in beginning stage

Highlights

 * The sensors are placed all over our campus to get ideal values

Theory of Operation
This information will be provided in future as our project is in beginning stage

Work Breakdown
This information will be provided in future as our project is in beginning stage

Future Work

 * To learn to use various sensors with beagle bone
 * To use WiFi module to connect all sensors together
 * To choose ideal locations to place the sensors
 * To choose a correct method to analyse the data received from all sensors

Conclusions
Its just a beginning ........
