Sensors to Screens: Building Real-Time IoT & Physical Dashboards w Raspberry Pi

18:00-18:30 - networking and pizza
18:30-19:00 Real-Time IoT for Robotics: Monitoring & Control Using Python, InfluxDB & Grafana by Suyash Joshi @ InfluxDB

Discover how to build powerful real-time IoT systems such as those for robotics, using an open-source stack. This presentation will cover how to store, process high volume sensor data using Raspberry Pi, Python InfluxDB 3 and then using Grafana to create a dynamic real time dashboard. You will learn how fun and easy it is to process time series data for your needs including for Edge ML.

19:05-19:45 Hacking Real-World Data with Grafana, and MicroPython by Simon Prickett @ Grafana Labs

A hands-on, beginner-friendly dive into the world of MicroPython and real-time data visualization.
This interactive session will introduce you to MicroPython and show you how to gather live data from sensors. We'll explore different methods to make that data available to Grafana or Prometheus, and demonstrate a dashboard that visualizes it all.
We’ll then take things further by constructing a physical representation of a Grafana panel using MicroPython-powered hardware. Watch your dashboard data come to life in the real world!
No programming or Grafana experience required. If you'd (optionally) like to join in the fun, bring a fully charged laptop with a USB A port: Mac users may need to bring their adapter. Come curious and leave inspired by what's possible when hardware meets observability!

19:45-20:00 Lightning talk (TBC)
