DINO

DO NOT DROP // DO NOT OPEN

Proof of Concept project around asset tracking via IoT

The aim is to monitor a package and send regular messages with sensor values as well as event message if the box is dropped or opened. The messages sent can be seen via the SigFox Backend.

N.B. see diagram.png

Device flashing and activation

• Open dino.ino with Arduino IDE
• Select MKRFOX1200 port via Tools > Ports
• Then Upload sketch to board
• Register MKRFOX1200 Sigfox Backend - Use PAC and ID printed in console when program starts

N.B. If encountering issue with flashing the device, enable bootloader more to load software by double tapping reset button.
