Using a network of Arduinos to monitor various on-site sensors and control some actuators

  • I’m thinking we could make a brain-teaser / tresure-hunt, where UrbanCamp attendees need to interact with the mesh-networked Arduinos in some *secret* fashion to find clues, solve puzzles and obtain some goal.

    Clues could be provided and progress tracked via a web-site … which the Arduin
    os report to.

    I’ve got some ideas, but don’t make to make them visible to the other UrbanCamp attendees. But, willing to share with the organizers … and a few others who’d help put it all together and run the ”hunt” on the weekend.

  • Things to consider …
    - Number of Arduinos
    - Communications: PC/USB, Ethernet, ZigBee, 3G
    - Types of sensors and actuators
    - Web-based reporting, e.g. Smart Energy Groups
