Building an IoT Farm Monitoring Solution
Over the last 3 months, I’ve been busy building an IoT weather station for my father-in-law’s farm, Locust Hill Farm. We have always been fascinated by weather, and love watching storms. After acquiring the farm around 2009, we always wondered what the weather was like out there. It only takes about 30 minutes to drive out to the farm, but…
Set the Time Zone in Windows 10 IoT Core with PowerShell
This post is the sixth of a series describing our automation efforts for provisioning Windows 10 IoT Core on a Raspberry Pi. To recap, KiZAN has a lab of 26 Raspberry Pi 2 boards running Windows 10 IoT Core. On a regular basis, we need to re-flash, provision, and configure the boards. When we perform the re-flash and provisioning process,…

Deploying Universal Windows Platform (UWP) Apps to Windows 10 IoT Core
KiZAN has been using Windows 10 IoT Core running on a Raspberry Pi 2 for several months inside of a traveling IoT lab kit. With the kits we’re able to bring a unique hands-on development workshop direct to businesses. Right now, our lab contains 25 Raspberry Pi 2 units flashed with Windows 10 IoT Core. After flashing the units, we…
Internet of Cows
In a world filled with an increasing number of Internet-connected devices, data is king. You may have heard of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is just a fancy way of saying I’ve got an internet-connected device. You’ve likely even heard of some of these devices: thermostats (like the Nest) stream temperature and humidity information, door bells (like Ring) stream video,…
