Using a Raspberry Pi to Store Environmental Data on the Ethereum Blockchain

Image
Environmental data is critical for understanding the impact of human activities on our planet. However, the accuracy and reliability of this data are often questioned due to the lack of transparency in the data collection process. Blockchain technology can help address this issue by providing a tamper-proof and transparent way of storing environmental data. In this blog post, we will explore how to use a Raspberry Pi to collect environmental data and store it on the Ethereum blockchain. Use Case: Suppose you are an environmental scientist studying the impact of air pollution on a particular region. You want to collect data on the concentration of various pollutants in the air and store it in a way that is transparent and tamper-proof. You decide to use a Raspberry Pi to collect the data and store it on the Ethereum blockchain. Hardware Requirements: Raspberry Pi: A small, low-cost computer that can run Linux-based operating systems Sensors: Sensors to measure air pollution such as carb

Unleashing the Power of Raspberry Pi: How Raspberry Pi, Blockchain, and AI are Revolutionizing Tech

Image
The Raspberry Pi is a small and affordable computer that is gaining popularity among hobbyists and professionals. It can be used for a wide range of applications, from simple DIY projects to complex data analysis tasks. Combining the power of a Raspberry Pi with emerging technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence can open up new possibilities and opportunities for innovation. Blockchain Node A blockchain is a type of secure and transparent digital ledger that can be used to record transactions and data. A Raspberry Pi can function as a node on a blockchain network, which means it can participate in the network's decision-making process and help verify transactions. This can improve the security and decentralization of the network. Smart Contract Execution Smart contracts are digital agreements that can execute automatically when certain conditions are met. They can be used to automate business processes, like supply chain management or digital identity management. A R

The Game-Changing Trio: How IoT, Blockchain, and AI are Transforming Industries

Image
The Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technologies are two game-changing technologies that are transforming various industries. IoT refers to a network of interconnected devices, sensors, and machines that communicate with each other and share data through the internet. On the other hand, blockchain technology is a decentralized ledger that stores and verifies transactions through a secure and transparent network. The combination of IoT and blockchain technologies can revolutionize industries by enabling secure and efficient communication and data management. By using Artificial Intelligence to analyze the data collected by IoT devices and store it securely on a blockchain network, companies can unlock new insights and efficiencies. Here's how companies are using the trio of IoT, blockchain, and AI to transform industries: Walmart is using blockchain technology to track the movement of food products from the source to the store shelves. This enables the company to identify th

Lightsail Containers: An Easy Way to Run your Containers in the Cloud

Image
When I am delivering an introduction to the AWS Cloud for developers, I usually spend a bit of time to mention and to demonstrate Amazon Lightsail . It is by far the easiest way to get started on AWS. It allows you to get your application running on your own virtual server in a matter of minutes. Today, we are adding the possibility to deploy your container-based workloads on Amazon Lightsail . You can now deploy your container images to the cloud with the same simplicity and the same bundled pricing Amazon Lightsail provides for your virtual servers. Amazon Lightsail is an easy-to-use cloud service that offers you everything needed to deploy an application or website, for a cost effective and easy to understand monthly plan. It is ideal to deploy simple workloads, websites, or to get started with AWS. The typical Lightsail customers range from developers to small businesses or startups who are looking to get quickly started in the cloud and AWS. At any time, you can later adopt th

PRIMM: encouraging talk in programming lessons

Image
https://ift.tt/3eZQTLN from Raspberry Pi Blog – Raspberry Pi Author Oliver Quinlan Whenever you learn a new subject or skill, at some point you need to pick up the particular language that goes with that domain. And the only way to really feel comfortable with this language is to practice using it. It’s exactly the same when learning programming. In our latest research seminar, we focused on how we educators and our students can talk about programming. The seminar presentation was given by our Chief Learning Officer, Dr Sue Sentance . She shared the work she and her collaborators have done to develop a research-based approach to teaching programming called PRIMM, and to work with teachers to investigate the effects of PRIMM on students. As well as providing a structure for programming lessons, Sue’s research on PRIMM helps us think about ways in which learners can investigate programs, start to understand how they work, and then gradually develop the language to talk about t
