Configuring Adafruit IO

To use this example a free Adafruit IO account is required. To sign up, visit:

https://accounts.adafruit.com/users/sign_up

After signing up, go to your Adafruit IO settings page and get your AIO API key:

Setup Gateway

Simply power up the E20 and load the software onto the E20 (put it in the snap user directory). You must edit the provided adafruitio/settings.py file to use your personal AIO key:

This example also uses several 3rd-party Python libraries. Install them onto your E20 using

Once both of these steps have been competed, execute the adafruit_example.py Python script as sudo.

Now that Adafruit IO and the E20 have been configured, the Feeds page should new values that were transmitted by the SNAP node.

Now take some time to explore Adafruit IO by creating your own dashboards.

Configuring Amazon AWS IoT

To use this example, an AWS developer account is required, and your account must have full AWS IoT privileges. To sign up, visit:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-set-up.html#cli-signup

You must install and authenticate with AWS CLI; this is a Python package that is installed when you install the Python requirements file.

Setup Gateway

NOTE: You must be using Python 2.7.9+ in order to use this example.

Simply power up the E20 and load the software onto the E20 (put it in the snap user directory).

This example also uses several 3rd-party Python libraries. Install them onto your E20 using

To authenticate your user with AWS, type /usr/local/lib/python2.7.9/bin/aws configure and specify your AWS Access Key ID, AWS Secret Access Key, and region. For more information, see Configuring the AWS Command Line Interface.

Update the THINGS variable in aws_iot/settings.py file to specify your device IDs (these need be the SNAP addresses of your SN171 boards). Once you have updated this file, run python2.7.9 setup_aws.py from the aws_iot directory to create your devices, policy, and certificate.

Run the AWS example using the following command:

Configuring Exosite Portals

To use this example, a free Exosite Portal is required. To sign up, visit:

https://portals.exosite.com/signup?plan=2692704445

From the welcome screen choose Add a Device:

In the dialog that appears, choose "I want to create a generic device":

On the next step, "Device Setup", please fill any details that you want. In the final step it will ask for a name, which can be anything (such as "SN171"). Once the setup has completed, it should list your device in the devices table:

Click the newly added SN171 device and its details should be displayed:

In the "Alias" text box, fill in the SNAP address of the module that is installed in the first SN171 board.

NOTE: To be compatible with the example code, the addresses should be entered without any separators (no "." Or ":", etc.) plus the hexadecimal digits a-f must be entered in lower case.

Where the CIK value is displayed, copy this somewhere for later pasting into the CIK dictionary in exosite_connector.py.

Next choose "Add Data" to define the information the SNAP node will be sending. In the "Data Setup" dialog that is displayed, fill in the values:

The dialog should now look like this:

Submit this form and add two more data sources:

Setup Gateway

Simply power up the E20 and load the software onto the E20 (put it in the snap user directory). You must edit the provided exosite_connector.py file to change the EXOSITE_CIKS dictionary to match your SN171 MAC addresses and Exosite CIKs. Find the following code snippet and update it:

This example also uses several 3rd-part Python libraries. Install them onto your E20 using

Once both of these steps have been competed, execute the exosite_example.py Python script as sudo.

Now that Exosite and the E20 have been configured, refreshing the "Device Information" on the Exosite website should show new values that were transmitted by the SNAP node.

Repeat the same process of adding a device and data sources for the other SN171.

Now take some time to explore Exosite's Portals website by creating your own dashboards.

Configuring Initial State

To use this example, a free Initial State login is required. To sign up, visit:

https://www.initialstate.com/app#/register

From the welcome screen choose Create HTTPS Bucket:

In the form that appears you can choose any name that you wish for the bucket. A possibility would be to use the node's SNAP address.

Once the bucket has been created you will need to find your Bucket and Access keys. To access these keys, click on the settings link:

You should see a panel like this:

Copy the "Bucket Key" and "Access Key" somewhere for later pasting into initialstate_connector.py.

Setup Gateway

Simply power up the E20 and load the software onto the E20 (put it in the snap user directory). You must edit the provided initialstate_connector.py file to change the INITIAL_STATE_BUCKETS dictionary to match your SN171 MAC addresses and Initial State keys. Find the following code snippet and update it:

This example also uses several 3rd-part Python libraries. Install them onto your E20 using

Once both of these steps have been competed, execute the initialstate_example.py Python script as sudo.

Now that Initial State and the E20 have been configured, the Initial State website should show new values that were transmitted by the SNAP node. Repeat the same process of adding a device and data sources for the other SN171.

Now take some time to explore Initial State's website by viewing data sent from your SN171s.
