Gristle Crüe Call — Flash Flood Project, Dashboards, 5G

This week we cov­ered a TON of top­ics, from Eric’s flash flood warn­ing project in New Mex­i­co to Nick­’s “Dash­board Epiphany” after talk­ing with Thomas from Tingkart. We hit 5G news, Pol­len’s odd posi­tion on phys­i­cal gam­ing, Heli­um Hotspot dash­boards, and events sur­round­ing the upcom­ing Heli­um House in New York.

Inter­st­ing Projects: IoTex

IoTeX: Con­nect­ing Real-World Activ­i­ty to Web3. Today’s IoT devices are some­what siloed. Think of an Alexa not speak­ing with an Apple Watch. IoTeX aims to bridge this gap by enabling secure com­mu­ni­ca­tion between var­i­ous IoT devices. With Machine­Fi, IoTeX incen­tivizes device own­ers to share real-world activ­i­ty with dapps. This enables a new gen­er­a­tion of dapps pow­ered by real-world data.

CHAT TRANSCRIPT

10:01:31 From Travis Teague : are you using pulse read­ings?
10:01:31 From 619OTA : wen flash flood sys­tem in Pak­istani
10:01:49 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : @619 right? I saw that. crazy.
10:02:14 From Travis Teague : in Hous­ton too right now…
10:02:21 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : crazy
10:02:44 From Travis Teague : how accu­rate does it need to be?
10:03:13 From Travis Teague : like, “you are about to drown, or not?”
10:03:16 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : Eric = Flash Flood King
10:03:23 From Michael Corum : Good ques­tion
10:03:45 From Travis Teague : and that shit hap­pens FAST
10:04:07 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : yep, and there are a lot of them in NM
10:04:19 From Travis Teague : and in TX
10:04:43 From Travis Teague : and a lot of the LCRA is dam con­trolled
10:04:46 From Nik Hawks : Travis: https://measuringthefuture.com/sen/s330-demo/?click=frontpagebutton
10:04:53 From Nik Hawks : (expen­sive sen­sor, $1,500)
10:04:54 From Travis Teague : so, when they let those go, it is crazy
10:05:37 From Travis Teague : I can give hard­ware help
10:06:06 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : Here’s some experts too Eric: https://www.floodsafety.com/media/ffa/sme/sme_s.htm
10:06:37 From Travis Teague : anoth­er good thing is to cor­re­late this to evac­u­a­tion plans…
10:06:47 From Travis Teague : that’s where a lot of folks get hurt
10:06:49 From 619OTA : I wan­na say. seems like you are good with com­mu­ni­cat­ing with peo­ple. id find a devel­op­er who can help you. don’t go learn­ing a new lan­guage
10:07:38 From Travis Teague : Dragi­no has some good pret­ty cheap sen­sors
10:08:15 From Elon­Tusk : Would­n’t a direct water sen­sor get clogged with mud real quick?
10:08:29 From Travis Teague : IBM also has the “Big Weath­er” silo over there
10:09:02 From Travis Teague : and… even OpenCV…
10:09:09 From 619OTA : mul­ti­ple sen­sors. yes. if one fails you got a back­up
10:09:11 From Travis Teague : just “look” at the sit­u­a­tion
10:11:07 From Elon­Tusk : Does­n’t take much water to start hydroplan­ing.
10:12:07 From RM : @Travis can you please share a link to that sen­sor? thanks
10:12:51 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : that’s wild travis.
10:13:51 From 619OTA : lava. flood­ing. same same. just dif­fer­ent temps.
10:14:07 From Nik Hawks : Ah, got the lava/flood con­nec­tion now.
10:15:18 From Nik Hawks : https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-A1101-LoRaWAN-Vision-AI-Sensor-p-5367.html
10:15:22 From RM : Thanks
10:15:36 From Nik Hawks : https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-Studio-LoRaWAN-Dev-Kit-p-5370.html
10:17:24 From Elon­Tusk : ?
10:17:48 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : Wow Travis, that’s wild. The pick­ing up on shady char­ac­ters through AI.
10:19:17 From Eric Jonas : Here is the NWS API web ser­vice. https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api
10:20:02 From Eric Jonas : You can add coor­di­nates to give you alerts for spe­cif­ic areas like your house.
10:20:19 From RM : @Travis, maybe night vision/infrared can be added to AI vision to help clas­si­fy shady char­ac­ters.
10:23:20 From russ : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_Area_Message_Encoding
10:24:29 From russ : this is the coun­ty flood watch and warn­ing trans­mit­ted on NWS fre­quen­cies. I can help you pro­gram if need­ed just takes sec­onds.
10:24:55 From Eric Jonas : Thank you Russ and every­one!
10:26:21 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : Yep, got­ta dumb down the info. Peo­ple don’t have time right now.
10:28:07 From Eric Jonas : I’m going to sign in with my phone and sign off my PC.
10:28:07 From Michael Corum : yes — dash­boards help you
10:28:21 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : That’s cool Nick
10:28:59 From Nik Hawks : Will ping ya about this next Mike; I know you’ve built a ton of dash­boards.
10:29:27 From Michael Corum : Lots of oppor­tu­ni­ty — helps us ele­vate our­selves to more of a con­sult­ing role than a pro­gram­mer
10:29:59 From 619OTA : lit­tle off top­ic. but I final­ly got a dash­board for my RAKs thanks to COTX ?
10:30:04 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : This is all just begin­ning too
10:37:18 From Travis Teague : also, R4WK just got fund­ed for his LoRaWAN Field Tester Grant
10:38:58 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : Some­thing that adds val­ue
10:39:06 From russ : NWS cov­er­age of watches/ warn­ings in New Mex­i­co is very spot­ty maybe 50% of the state https://www.weather.gov/nwr/newmexico
10:39:53 From Kevin Wei­de­mann : what the hell?
10:40:27 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : a park
10:42:37 From Eric Jonas : Thanks Russ. Looks like they are cov­er­ing the pop­u­lat­ed areas and sur­round­ing rur­al areas fair­ly well. Not ide­al but I dig it.
10:43:54 From 619OTA : yup. I know Heefi is doing that with a drone
10:45:38 From Jay M. : yeah, alti­tude. same rea­son data from an air­plane gets removed from mappers.helium.com.
10:47:27 From Travis Teague : so what if I diff your dai­ly flights?
10:47:47 From 619OTA : $400 mav­ic mini can do it
10:49:00 From russ : a high-end con­sumer drone can have a range of about 2.5 to 4.5 miles (4 – 8km). Mid-lev­el con­sumer drones will typ­i­cal­ly have a range of about 0.25 to 1.5 miles
10:49:16 From 619OTA : ya. don’t talk about price. you make me cry
10:49:53 From Nik Hawks : Most­ly look­ing at things to encour­age mon­e­ti­za­tion (net­work usage)
tools for deploy­ments,
host man­age­ment,
charitable/marketing ini­tia­tives.
10:49:55 From Travis Teague : I can fly a Mav­ic Pro for 5 mile runs. will com­plete­ly lose con­trol, and have to trust it to come back…
10:50:14 From Travis Teague : and also don’t do that… total­ly ille­gal.
10:50:29 From Elon­Tusk : ?
10:51:44 From 619OTA : I live with­in 2 miles from an air­port and a mile for military/government so every­thing I do with a drone is ille­gal.
10:52:31 From russ : You can fly with­in 5 miles of an air­port if you call the con­trol tow­er
10:52:36 From Jay M. : Gris­tle King DAO. LFG!
10:54:19 From 619OTA : Sears Cat­a­log Web­site for Sen­sors
10:54:29 From Michael Corum : That would be great
10:55:16 From Eric Jonas : Any word on when Heli­um map­pers will be avail­able?
10:55:22 From Eric Jonas : 5g map­pers
10:55:27 From 619OTA : talk to the guys down at fies­ta island
10:56:02 From Nik Hawks : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2022-hackaday-superconference-tickets-402410268947
10:56:13 From russ : https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators
10:56:16 From Nik Hawks : https://mainnet.events/agenda
10:56:46 From Jay M. : do you have a link for the lat­tice thing?
10:56:54 From Nik Hawks : IoTeX: Con­nect­ing Real-World Activ­i­ty to Web3. Today’s IoT devices are some­what siloed. Think of an Alexa not speak­ing with an Apple Watch.

10:57:49 From Michael Corum : We need the mid­dle­ware
10:58:24 From Michael Corum : Great call
10:58:42 From Eric Jonas : Yes great call.
10:58:49 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : Such a good call! ?
10:58:55 From Travis Teague : thanks, Nik!
10:58:55 From Jay M. : ?
