Temperature Monitoring using Python

Mayank Pathak — Sat, 17 Jul 2021 10:33:22 +0000

Hello guys👋, so this post is going to be super excited and useful for those who are trying to find and implement some basic projects to increase and upscale their technical skills and knowledge.

Here is one of the simple projects, which I did during my college project season and it is super useful and easy to implement, with basic knowledge of python and some of the technical tools you can try out this project and can also list it to your Resume or CV, you can also take this project and show to your project’s coordinator during your project season.

What’s the Project About?

The project is about the Temperature Monitoring where we will monitor the temperature of a closed environment, for example – like a closed room. Since, Environment temperature should be a comfortable one, where the people can work comfortably and can go up to their efficiency and can work comfortably whether it is machinery or manpower. One of important factors that are needed be monitored is the temperature and humidity of the room, because if any one of the two goes mismatching it creates an unpleasing and uncomfortable environment.

Where it can be useful?

This project has so many uses from a real-time perspective, let me list some of the uses-

It can be useful in a room where’s temperature needs to be in between certain range.
A factory or industry where people cannot present at all the time and there’s temperature need to be fixed between certain range.
While transporting some of the goods where they need to be in certain temperature range with limited power supply.

Hence these are some of the useful parts of the project where it can be implemented with full control over the temperature and best results.

🔎Let’s know the Project in Detail

Controlling temperature of a controlled environment is an important aspect of any workspace whether it is a commercial space or a domestic space. If temperature or humidity is either increased or decreased of any area, it becomes very difficult to be there and thus, if possible, should be kept in comfortable conditions at all times. One way to do it is to monitor and control the temperature of the closed surroundings using the concepts of Machine Learning and IoT.

This research’s purpose is the same to find an easy and an inexpensive way to find an alternative to it which is based on microcontroller, a Wi-Fi Module, Buzzer, few Temperature sensors and a Solderless board. The system is designed in such a way that the temperature can be monitored whether it is in the given range of temperature as prescribed by the user.

We are also enabling to predict the temperature which will predict the temperature according to the temperature graph being made as by the input taken by the Temperature Sensors using Polynomial Regression Algorithm. Also, if the temperature of the enclosed area is not in the threshold range as suggested by the user, the System will automatically send a notification to user(s) via SMS, E-Mail or even through a Telegram Channel.

Note : To do this project completely you will need some technical tools and access to some of the software and online services.

Introduction :

The main scope of this project is to measure the temperature of a closed environment let’s say we want to measure the temperature of a room.

Basically, a range is fixed that is, the minimum and maximum temperature values are fixed and if the measured value is not in this range, then the system alarms and sends a notification to the user’s device through SMS, email, telegram etc.

Components required to work the project

Bolt WiFi Module(microcontroller)
LED (generic)
Buzzer-to alarm the area
Jumper wires (generic)
LM35-temperature sensor
Breadboard (generic)

We are using Z-Score analysis which also help in detecting the anomaly of the temperature sensor which means a variable’s value going beyond a certain range of values (upper and lower bound).These bound can be calculated using input values, frame size and multiplication factor, where frame size is minimum number of input values needed for Z-Score analysis and these predictions as well as the old values, all will be plotted on a graph, which the user can easily understand what could be the next game of plan. So, we going to use a formula to find any kind of anomaly that can happen in the proposed system.

So in the above listed formula,
r = Frame Size
C = Multiplication factor.
To do so and implement the project, you have to register at a platform called Twilio this will help us to get the notification on the device.

🧾Creating & Setting up an account on Twilio

Twilio is a 3rd party PaaS (Platform as a Software) company that provides cloud communication. It uses web APIs to make calls and send and receive messages to registered mobile numbers. The following gives step-by-step instructions to create a Twilio account.

Because when, knowledge_is_shared = (knowledge)2

Hence not taking your much time and making you bored let’s check which are those platforms on which you can write and find great audience to you blog or the article.

List of Platforms to write the Blog or Articles✍

The list of platforms is in decreasing order based on the features they provide you as a writer.

5. Blogger

Blogger is an American online content management system owned by Google. It provides you to write the blogs and articles in the easiest way with a free sub-domain named as blogspost.com. Like if you want to keep the name of your blog as XYZ then the domain for your blog can be xyz.blogspost.com – it is the name through which the audience will find your blog posts.

Blogger provides you to upload images, videos, text etc, you can use different templates provided by Blogger which can change the view of your blog or you can map your own template by finding it on google or writing the coding by yourself.

It also provides you a way to earn from your blog posts through connecting your Blogger account to the Goggle AdSense or any web monetization platform or to any Ad network to show ads to your blog. But for this you have to be somewhat wait as it has to meet certain requirements.

You also have to connect your blogger to Google web master like Google search console, Google analytics, Goggle tag manager, Bing etc to reach your content to a greater number of people.

You can check my Blog that I made using Blogger – https://thecodingbro.xyz/

4. WordPress

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. It is much popular than the Blogger and provides many more features than Blogger. Here you can create your website or the blog for all free. But need have some basic knowledge of using the WordPress platform as it is not easy and confusing to use.

It also provides a free subdomain named as wordpress.com. Like if you want to keep the name of your blog as XYZ then the domain for your blog can be xyz.wordpress.com or the available domain name – it is the name through which the audience will find your blog posts.

It has many more functions and extensions than Blogger which are called as plugins. You need to have some good knowledge to use these plugins and if you can use them pretty well then, a great number of audiences can end up to coming to your website or the blog.

Same as Blogger you have to connect your WordPress domain to the Google web master to reach more audience and better list your posts and articles on google. Also, you can earn by connecting your domain to any web monetization tool or the Ad network, but again here came the play of plugins because through only plugins you can show something to your website or blog while using WordPress as a platform.

Start your Blog or website using WordPress - https://wordpress.com/

3. Medium

Medium is an open platform where readers find dynamic thinking, and where expert and undiscovered voices can share their writing on any topic. It’s a place to write, read and connect. It accessed and used by a very large community of writers, readers and learners and all of those are professional, hence you get a quality content to read on the medium.

It also provides a free subdomain named as medium.com. Like if you want to keep the name of your profile as XYZ then the domain for your blog is xyz.medium.com or the available domain name – it is the name through which the audience will find your blog posts.

It doesn’t provide you more features like WordPress but what makes it better then WordPress is its popularity and ranking of the posts on any search engine. If you write a post on medium then it will rank very high on the google and hence people notice and reach to your post. Also, the available community of people that are registered on medium find your post on the homepage of medium and hence if find interesting many of them comes to read to your blog.

You don’t have to do much on medium just have to focus on writing the articles and other thing will happen automatically, you can also earn by using their medium partner program where you get earning by the readers who read your posts.

Want to start at Medium or Check my Medium Blog - https://mayankpathak4513.medium.com/

2. Dev Community

DEV Community is a community of 650,754 amazing developers. They are a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers. It’s a great platform to write your articles and blog posts. You can read thousands of articles on their feed as published daily by several others – that’s what I love about dev community, because you don’t know which great article can help you to grow your knowledge.

It provides you a lot of features like you can write your article using Markdown feature – this is truly amazing, a dashboard where you can check your post views, comments and likes, link to your personal website or portfolio, web monetization, import your articles using RSS and GitHub. You can also connect your GitHub profile to Dev community.

As of now you will be provided with a username of your choice and you can land on this page, where all your posts, comments and activities will be visible to the other users, this page will help you to connect with thousands of developers registered on Dev Community.

Let me tell you, on their new updates they have provided a feature where you can make your own website or the blog using the free domain name by netlify and stackbit. They mentioned something like “Generate a personal blog from your DEV Community posts”. You can check this and then surely you will have a separate blog for all your posts on dev community.

There’s a lot more features to try and I insist you to check the Dev Community platform as it helps you to create a great community and helps to meet developers from different part of the world.

I'm bringing my new article which is focused on the A, B, C's of Competitive Coding and to bring the top 10 competitive coding platforms where you can learn, practice, master and compete with others based on your coding skills.

Note : This article is going to be long but you will enjoy reading every bit of it.

Many of you would have master some of the coding language and may be want to particularly check where you stand with the skills you have developed among the others who are deploying their skills in this small world. Because the level of competition is very high, since each one of us is better than other and becoming more and more better. Hence to make a count on yourself Competitive Coding provides the best outcome which will have you to access and know better of your coding skills. But before that let’s know what actually Competitive Coding Means.

What is Competitive Coding 👨‍💻

As Wikipedia says, competitive programming is a mind sport usually held over the Internet or a local network, involving participants trying to program according to provided specifications.

Basically, it is a type of contest where a number of programmers attempt to solve programming questions in a limited amount of time with under some preconditions set by the organizer. You can write your solution in any programming language that you’re comfortable with. Solutions should pass all of the test cases (given and hidden) in order to be accepted under certain time and space limits.

Time and Space Complexity plays a very major role in competitive coding. You might pass all the public and hidden test cases and your code would have satisfied all the given conditions, but if the written code is not efficient in the time and memory aspect then you can’t win any competitive coding contest. Best Code should take the least possible time and memory (i.e., space) to compile and run to provide the best outputs.

Big tech companies, like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc hire through competitive programming competitions. As an added bonus, various online competitions offer some amazing prizes for the winners.

Major Benefits of Competitive Coding 👨‍💻

Helps you to do a coding task in a stipulated time – Need to Complete a given task with in the given time range, hence it indirectly increases you thinking and working capabilities.
Cracking the Job Interviews – It definitely helps one to prepare for technical and coding interviews as the questions and the contests held make you more ready to crack any interview.
Strengthen your programming and software knowledge – As you practice more and more on certain portion it indirectly makes you master of that thing.
Helps you to land a job in Dream Companies – There are many examples of this where a lot of aspirants got their dream job after practicing, coding and competing in such platforms.
Increases your Problem-solving skills – As you solve an enormous number of problems it makes problem solving as your habit and you are able to think and come to the logic quite fast, that is why it increases your problem-solving skills.
Helps you better to work in a team – Since most of the coding contests take place as a group of some coders, hence it taught you how to work better with a team and lead to success.
Better self-assessment and correct the mistakes – All of the platforms provide you to keep track of your activities and the mistakes that you have done, hence it helps to assess yourself and not to repeat a mistake again.
Makes you faster and more focused – With continuous practice and time on these platforms you become faster and more focused to solve the particular problems.

Hence, what we can say that the benefits from Competitive coding is endless as it helps us to make better day by day, here only some of the main benefits have been listed which are mainly to motivates you and dive directly to the choice of your platform to prepare and compete with all the coders and programmers out there in this world.

Prerequisite for Competitive Coding 👨‍💻

There are some basic and important conditions that have to meet before you start for competitive coding, this is because if you start without these condition then at each point you will stuck with some or the other problem and at last, finally you will give up with the competitive coding. So, the prerequisite are –

Pick a suitable language to code, in my opinion C++ is best for competitive coding.
Choose a powerful code editor to run and compile your code, VS Code is best suitable to use in my opinion.
Select a few platforms to practice, some of the best platforms are listed below.
Make clear with the Data-Structures and Algorithms, good hands on these are very much required in competitive coding.
Solve different kinds of problems to build a great confidence on your coding skills.
Most important is to have continuous involvement in practicing.

Note : Remember one cannot master a skill in a night, it takes continuous passion and determination to master such things.

Now let’s list down the competitive coding platforms where you can show case your skills and knowledge among all others.

Note : Most of the below listed competitive platforms are not suitable for beginners. But you can at least try to explore these and gain some basic knowledge.

Discover Max element of each column in matrix

Mayank Pathak — Sat, 12 Jun 2021 13:06:53 +0000

Hey guys👋, In this post we will be discuss the Program to find maximum element of each column in a matrix i.e., to find the maximum value in each column of the given matrix. Since it is considered as an important problem to solve while practicing, hence thought to share🤝 with you all.

Problem Description

In a family, the people are arranged in rows and columns. Male persons in the families are arranged in a row and females are arranged in a column. Find the eldest women in each column. (Write a program to find the maximum element in each column of the matrix.)

You can find the same set of problem in different way on the various coding platform.

Input Format:

The input consists of (m*n+2) integers.

The first integer corresponds to m, the number of rows in the matrix and the second integer corresponds to n, the number of columns in the matrix.

The remaining integers correspond to the elements in the matrix.

The elements are read in row-wise order, the first row first, then second row and so on.

Assume that the maximum value of m and n is 10.

Output Format:

Refer to the sample output for details.

Sample Input:

3
2
4 5
6 9
0 3

Sample Output:

6
9

Explaination :

In this we will be discussing the Program to find maximum element of each column in a matrix i.e., to find the maximum value in each column of the given matrix. This can be achieved by simple loop and conditional statement. Initialize the max variable to first element of each column. If there is only one element present in each column of the matrix then the loop did not execute and max hold the only present value in the matrix, thus that element becomes the maximum of each column. If matrix has more than one element, than loop executes and if any element found bigger than the previously assigned value, then that element becomes the largest.

Logic to follow to come-up with the solution :

Declare the required sets of variables to use in the code.
Initialize the max variable to first element of each column.
If there is only one element present in each column of the matrix then the loop did not execute and max hold the only present value in the matrix, thus that element becomes the maximum of each column.
If matrix has more than one element, than loop executes and if any element found bigger than the previously assigned value, then that element becomes the largest.
At last maximum value of each column is displayed as the result output.

Coding Time 👨‍💻

#include<iostream>
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

void largestInColumn(int mat[10][10], int rows, int cols)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < cols; i++)
    {
     int maxm = mat[0][i];
     for (int j = 1; j < rows; j++)
     {
        if (mat[j][i] > maxm)
         maxm = mat[j][i];
        }
        cout << maxm << endl;
    }
}
int main()
{
  int n,m;
  cin>>n>>m;
  int mat[10][10];
  for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
  {
    for(int j=0;j<m;j++)
  {
    cin>>mat[i][j];
  }
  }
    largestInColumn(mat, n, m);
    return 0;
}

Input :
3
2
4 5
6 9
0 3

Output
6
9

Hence with the above set of logic and code you can easily understand and solve the problem to find maximum number in each column of a matrix.

Hope with this you learned and acquired some basic knowledge of C++ Programming.

Do you Know What is Harshad Number

Mayank Pathak — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 12:45:08 +0000

Hello👋 Guys, In this article we gonna know about an interesting concept which merely known to some of the learners out there. The Concept is about the Harshad Number. Here we will be discussing about what is a Harshad Number and how to verify if a number is Harshad Number or not.

What is Harshad Number🔢

In mathematics, Harshad numberis basically the sum of the digits of that particular number and the number has to be divisible by the summation value. Harshad numbers in base n are also known as n-harshad numbers. Harshad numbers were defined by D. R. Kaprekar, a mathematician from India. It can also be called as Niven number.

For example - 1729 is a Harshad Number Because sum of its digit is (1+7+2+9=19) and 1729 is completely divisible by 19. Hence this way we can check whether a number is Harshad or Not.

The same can be applied in a programatic way where we can the suitable code which can tell the inputted number is Harshad Number or not.

🔍Logic to follow to come-up with the solution :

Declare the required sets of variables to use.

Take the input number from the user keyboard.
Assign the input number to a declared variable.
Apply the loop and find the last digit of the number using modulo operator.

            i.e., n = t % 10 ;

Now sum that digit and put the value in the sum variable.

             i.e., sum = sum + n ;

Now compute the remaining number using dividend operator.

            i.e., t = t / 10 ;

This will follow until the condition becomes false inside the loop.
Now if the number is divisible by the sum value of the digits then print harshad number else print not harshad number.

           i.e., if( a % sum = = 0) then Harshad else not.

Let’s write the required code for the problem :

Code :


 #include<iostream>
 using namespace std;
 int main()
 {
 int a,n,t,sum=0;
 cin>>a;
 t=a;
 while(t!=0)
 {
 n=t%10;
 sum=sum+n;
 t=t/10;
 }
 if(a%sum==0)
 cout<<"Harshad Number";
 else
 cout<<"Not Harshad Number";
 return 0;
 }

 Sample Input
 1729

 Sample Output
 Harshad Number

Hence with this following set of snippet it is easily to check a number is Harshad Number or not.

Hope with this you learned and acquired some basic knowledge of C++ Programming.

Find Largest and Smallest Element in an Array

Mayank Pathak — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 09:09:02 +0000

Hello guys👋, In this post we gonna check another most basic but most important programming problem in which we have to find the Largest and Smallest Element in an Array. This problem❓ I solved when I was practicing✍ for the concept Array and thought🤔 that it will be useful if I share this problem with all those who are currently learning and practicing the Coding👨‍💻.

Problem Description

Write a program to find the largest and smallest element in an array.

Sample input:

20 25 100 95 45 5

Sample output:

The largest element in the array is : 100

The smallest element in the array is : 5

Procedure to follow to get the required sets of result

Declare the required variables.
Take the inputs form the user keyboard.
Assign the max and to the initial or first element of the array.

              i.e., max = min = a[0]

If there is only one element present in the array then the loop did not execute and max, min hold the only present value in the array, thus that element becomes the both maximum and minimum.
If array has more than one element, than loop executes and if any element found bigger than the previously assigned value, then that element becomes the largest.

             i.e.,  if (a[i] > max )  then max = a[i]

Similarly, if any element found smaller than the previously assigned value, than that element becomes the smallest.

               i.e.,  if (a[i] < min )  then min = a[i]

At last maximum and minimum elements are displayed as per the result output.

Now let's come to the coding👨‍💻 part of the problem

Code


/*Code is written in C++ language*/
  #include <iostream>
  using namespace std;
  int main() {
    int n,min,max;
    cin>>n;
    int arr[n];
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        cin>>arr[i];
    }
    min=max=arr[0];
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        if(arr[i]<min)
        {
            min=arr[i];
        }
        if(arr[i]>max)
        {
            max=arr[i];
        }
     }
    cout<<"The largest element in the array is : "<<max;
    cout<<endl;
    cout<<"The smallest element in the array is : "<<min;
    return 0;
  }

The same set of code is compiled on the online compiler to provide the outputs as per the condition asked in the problem.

Input test


6
20 25 100 95 45 5

Output test


The largest element in the array is : 100
The smallest element in the array is : 5

Hence with the required set of problem and its explaination we came across to know one of the important programming problem in Array and we can make the concept array strong with practicing such kinds of problem as much as we can.

Hope with this you learned and acquired some basic knowledge and help you somewhat.

Consecutive difference of elements in an Array

Mayank Pathak — Sat, 22 May 2021 16:39:07 +0000

Hi👋 guys, In this post we gonna check a most basic but most important programming problem in which we have to find the consecutive difference of elements in a given Array. This problem I came across when I was giving a coding👨‍💻 test🧪 during my placement 👨‍✈️ season.

Problem description

You are given with a circular array. Your task is calculate the difference between two consecutive number. And if difference is greater than ‘k’, print 1 else print 0

Input Description: You are given two numbers ‘n’, ’m’. Next line contains n space separated integers.

Output Description: Print 1 if the difference is greater than ‘m’.

Sample Input :
5 15
50 65 85 98 35

Sample Output :
0 1 0 1 0

Logic to follow to come-up with the solution :

Declare the required sets of variables to use in the code.
Input the user input size of the array and its elements.
Now iterate from initialization as 0 till the second last element.
And inside it finds the absolute difference of two consecutive numbers, also if the difference is greater than the inputted value then prints 1 or in other case print 0.
Now iterate from second last element till the last element, this is done to compute the difference of last and first element of the array.
Similarly, inside it find the absolute difference of two consecutive numbers, also if the difference is greater than the inputted value then prints 1 or in other case print 0.
At last we get the required set of the 1’s and 0’s by computing the absolute difference.

Now let's come to the coding part of the problem👨‍💻

Code ✍

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    int n,k;
    cin>>n>>k;
    int a[n];
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        cin>>a[i];
    }
    for(int i=0;i<n-1;i++)
    {
        if(abs(a[i]-a[i+1])>k)
        {
            cout<<"1 ";
        }
        if(abs(a[i]-a[i+1])<=k)
        {
            cout<<"0 ";
        }
    }
      for(int i=n-1;i<n;i++)
    {
        if(abs(a[n-1]-a[0])>k)
        {
            cout<<"1";
        }
        if(abs(a[n-1]-a[0])<=k)
        {
            cout<<"0";
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Sample Input

5 15
50 65 85 98 35

Sample Output

0 1 0 1 0

Hence with the required set of problem we came across to know one of the important problem in Array and we can make the concept array strong with practicing such kinds of problem as much as we can.

Hope with this you learned and acquired some basic knowledge on C++ Programming.
