While COVID-19 has created much destruction of human society, the threat of global warming has not gone away. Natural fluctuations in the climate are expected over some centuries but scientists say that the earth is becoming hotter because of the greenhouse effect. Several human activities such as deforestation are increasing carbon dioxide emissions, resulting in extreme weather. Storms such as … [Read more...]
Call for Code 2020: Coding Challenge to Save Mankind from Pandemics
Call for Code is a coding competition. We talked about Call for Code in the year 2018 and 2019 too. It is a multi-year initiative with 5 years commitment from IBM. To the developers, Call for Code is a chance to use the latest technologies to create a long-lasting cost-effective solution. In this year’s Call for Code Challenge, one of the themes is to mitigate the impact of global pandemics like … [Read more...]
How to Use Android Smartphone as IoT Device (Termux, Node-RED)
We can use any modern Android Smartphone something like a Raspberry Pi with a camera, all the sensors & send the collection to any IoT platform. Although it will sound like a complex work it is easy because of a lot of development by many hundreds of developers. There are ready to use Android applications which does the similar job from GUI and connect with IoT platform like IBM Watson IoT … [Read more...]
Control ESP32 Arduino LED from IBM Watson IoT
Anthony Elder published a guide on developerWorks Recipes on how to "Build your own Watson controlled kettle" for ESP8266. This article's code is shamelessly ripped-off from him for broader usage. This guide will show how to turn on and turn off a LED connected with ESP32 Arduino from IBM Watson IoT platform. That "remote control" over the internet will be shown by using a simple bash scripts - … [Read more...]

Call for Code, which media refer as "The Noble Prize for Developers" was founded by David Clark Cause alongside Founding Partner IBM. Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 What is #CallForCode 3 Why developers should participate 4 Norms and … [Read more...]
ESP32 Arduino IBM Watson IoT Pulse Sensor Amped
In our previous two guides, we discussed how to create graph on IBM Watson IoT Dashboard, also provided code for DH11 sensor and in last guide how to use Pulse Monitor amped with ESP32 was shown with minimal theory. Here is Simple ESP32 Arduino IBM Watson IoT Pulse Sensor With Easy Coding and Default Graphing Widgets of IBM Watson IoT. It is important to realize that I am using a cheap China pulse … [Read more...]
How To Use IBM Cloud CDN and Cloud Object Storage
Previously we published various guides on Rackspace Cloud Files to use CDN and Cloud Object Storage for hosting static website to hosting jQuery powered video players. Lately, Rackspace Cloud Files has been very costly with a fixed per month fees for just having the account. We have similar guides on HP Cloud CDN (HP Public Cloud has been closed). Other CDNs like KeyCDN not exactly cost effective … [Read more...]
Cloud Foundry Versus IBM BlueMix (IBM Cloud)
This topic possibly should be published long before when we talked about PaaS. New Users Often Seek Cloud Foundry Versus IBM BlueMix Comparison For Understanding the Tools, PaaS platform and Open Source Technology Behind. All possibly know that IBM Bluemix is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) developed by IBM with integrated DevOps. Recently, IBM announced that they are merging the Bluemix … [Read more...]
