Long time no see right? We are happy to announce that XDK2MAM Phase 1 compromised to the EDF is now finished. This last six months were really exciting as we combined the development of various open source packages to connect the Bosch XDK110 sensors node with the Tangle and traveled as much as we could to conduct “hands on” Workshops and introduce IOTA’s Ledger and Masked Authenticated Messaging as a solution to decentralize information produced by this great device.

We dictated workshops in several cities of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Venezuela and there is more coming! Our next workshop will be conducted in Berlin! Yes, XDK2MAM is visiting Germany and we already have plans to meet the guys behind the XDK110 at Reutlingen, Daniel Trauth and his amazing IILA and, of course, people interested on IOTA in Berlin, home of the IF.

XDK2MAM Phase 1: XDK110-Tangle connectivity

The first part of XDK2MAM project aimed to provide documented open source code to connect the XDK110 with the Tangle, allowing people prototyping IoT with this powerful tool to have a way to safety store the data produced. Over the last six months we have provided with code to connect this device and the Tangle via:

HTTP (Code+Guide / Videotutorial)

(Code+Guide / Videotutorial) MQTT (Code+Guide / Videotutorial)

(Code+Guide / Videotutorial) BLE (Code+Guide / Videotutorial)

(Code+Guide / Videotutorial) UDP (Code+Guide / Videotutorial)

(Code+Guide / Videotutorial) USB (Code+Guide / Videotutorial)

(Code+Guide / Videotutorial) IOTA Data Marketplace PoC (Code+Guide / Videotutorial)

During this six months we also provided open source code to connect the Ruuvitag beacon to the Tangle. Despite this was out of the milestones compromised to the EDF, we thought this little device was worth a little deviation.

XDK2MAM Phase 1: Dashboard application

All the above methods provided several means to send data from the XDK110 to the Tangle but, in all cases, we ended up with json datasets flooding the console. This is why, our project phase 1 last milestone was to develop what we call XDK2MAM Dashboard. This application was needed to:
