Live Data
It was always my intention to have live sensor reading from the orb streamed directly online in some way and to accomplish this I’ve used Pachube.This service allows the user to become a member in order to connect and share real time sensor data to anyone in the world. I’ve set up three livefeeds from one light sensor and two temperature sensors (one located inside the orb and the other located outside). Pachube easily collects this data at an update rate of every five seconds and collates the maximum and minimum averages of each feed. As well as this each feed has it’s own graph which collects data over 24 hour periods to view.

It will take a couple of hours for the graphs to be populated with a great deal of information but it’s all running live from the board sat right in front of me.
I’m also taking interest in Pachube’s ability to alter arduino behaviour by reading other external feeds from around the world…
Here are some updated production images:
