Following the theme of yesterday’s article about Hacker Lab’s Internet of Things (IoT) summer program, here’s another upcoming opportunity to get involved in the rapidly growing IoT field – Sacramento Open Hardware Meetup’s Project Noiseometer. This program of 4 working sessions will walk you through building your very own IoT-enabled device to graph noise pollution.
Noiseometer is a project to setup a network of noise level detectors to allow visualizing noise pollution across a wide area. The project will use the new Arduino MKR1000 that is natively IoT capable along with the Sparkfun Sound Detector to sense noise level data and send it to a cloud data visualization system.
The program starts this Thursday evening at 7:00pm at the new MakerHQ Makerspace. Whether you want another chance to get involved in IoT technology or you just want to do something about noise pollution in your area, join the Sacramento Open Hardware Meetup and RSVP for Project Noiseometer.
