A Raspberry Pi can offer a quick solution to do some prototyping but if you need additional storage, an external hard drive can be very handy.

A friend came to me and told me about his garage box problem. He owns garageboxes that are centrally accessible through a main entry which is controlled by a single garage door. This door is open during the day and closes in the evening until 6 AM in the morning for security reasons. Not every owner of a garage box has a remote control so sometimes it happens those persons call him to open the main gate when they need to get to their car.

As a developer, we’re always looking for simplification when it comes to deploying code. We like to concentrate on writing code without worrying about infrastructure components. In this article, I will explain how to deploy a sample VueJS application to a IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster.

This post describes how to create your own GPS tracker using Pycom LoPy microcontrollers. You will also learn how to build your own single-channel LoRa Nano Gateway.

In my previous blog, I explained how to create a simple NodeJS application, Dockerize it and deploy it on IBM Cloud using the public DockerHub as a registry.

If you are an experienced developer already familiar with Docker, here’s a quick way to just deploy your containers into the cloud without having to worry about setting up and managing a Kubernetes cluster and important also … it comes for free using Cloud Foundry !

Continuing from the previous blogs, I will explain how to connect a treadmill as a sensor within the IBM Cloud IoT Platform.

In my previous blog, I explained howto to get access to the the bluetooth service provided by the treadmill.

In order to keep exercising my runs during the dark and cold winter months, I decided to buy a treadmill to be able to train at all weather conditions. Of course running on a treadmill can be quite boring so I was looking into gathering the data from the treadmill and using it to create my own custom dashboards and to connect it to Strava, the Social Network for Athletes.
