Nios4 and IoT: experiment at the workplace




Can management software and IoT be combined?

We started a new adventure towards a type of technology that it is usually never associated with management software: the Internet of Things!


Given the modularity of Nios4 and the architecture designed to be as horizontal as possible, we decided to develop the libraries in Python for the data interchange between Linux devices and our Cloud.


This way, it is possible to elaborate data collection equipment that will download information directly into Nios4.



Python


We completed the beta version of the libraries in Python.







To test the system, we created a hygrometer using one Raspberry Pi Zero device and measured the humidity of the plants in our office.


Every day the sensors sent new information to the Cloud and shared it with all the clients.


We chose an example outside the usual concept of the management system because we wanted to show the versatility of the Nios4 platform.
