Repository

This repositor has a number of sub-projects seperated by directories.

• diagrams/ - PoC schema, breadboard, and other supporting files
• xbee/ - MicroPython code for the XBee3 Cellular Module
• server/ - Golang code running on AWS lambda to process incoming requests
• bin/ - CICD bash scripts. Can be ignored.
• Makefile - Controls cicd testing, packaging, and deployments from local dev machine(s)

Sensors and GPS

We will be connecting all sensors and GPS devices directly to the XBee module for parsing with MicroPython. The advantage of MicroPython is that it allows us to process and format the data in real-time, while also minimizing the data being sent.

For the type of sensors and GPS, and how they be used, please refer to the diagrams below.

Schema

Breadboard

Building

make setup # tip: use python virtualdirs

TODO

• Add pipelines
• Git tag (per CICD)
• Is there an X
