Viking and QGIS – Importing Position Data

Viking and QGIS – Importing Position Data

In an earlier post I covered a project that tracked position, https://www.cloudacm.com/?p=4728.  The data is stored as a CSV file.  This format is easier to work with in a spreadsheet but lacks visual map details.  This post will cover basic steps on how I import the tracks in Viking and QGIS. The first step is merging data files if they span a given trip.  I append the data files sequentially in a spreadsheet.  I’ve noticed that some rows contain garbage,…

Equirectangular Projection with Pannellum

Equirectangular Projection with Pannellum

This post will cover equirectangular projection using the Pannellum toolset.  Details about Pannellum can be found here, https://pannellum.org/documentation/overview/.  I have included two types of images as examples, cube and spherical.  Both of them give a spatial sense to the observer viewing out from inside a box or ball. The example patterns represent a rudimentary reticle for measurement that can be applied to a physical environment.  

InfluxDB and Grafana with Node-Red data from MQTT IoT topics

InfluxDB and Grafana with Node-Red data from MQTT IoT topics

In this post, I’ll be providing a high level view of IoT data gathering, processing, and presentation. The post won’t contain exact details that may pertain to your needs, but this overview should cover most items to get started. This video demonstration steps through the process of setting up InfluxDB for use with Node-Red. It is followed up with another video that continues with Grafana integration with InfluxDB. I found these demonstrations to be concise and to the point. IoT…
