How It Works

This project transforms your IndusBoard into a self-contained, real-time IoT monitoring station that serves a live web dashboard directly from the microcontroller. At the core of the hardware is the IndusBoard Coin, which features built-in 3D magnetic, 3D accelerometer, and temperature sensors. Using the Arduino IDE and necessary web server libraries, you program the onboard ESP32 to continuously poll environmental and motion data from these integrated sensors. Because the ESP32 includes built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, it can operate as a local web server on your network. When a user connects to the ESP32's IP address using any browser-enabled device, the microcontroller dynamically generates and transmits a webpage displaying the live sensor readings. This setup eliminates the need for any third-party cloud infrastructure, routing data packets locally and securely over your Wi-Fi network. As the physical orientation, magnetic field, or temperature around the IndusBoard changes, the onboard sensors register these physical phenomena as electrical changes, which the microcontroller processes and instantly renders onto the browser-based dashboard without requiring page refreshes.

Why Build This

Monitor live environmental temperature changes, physical movement, and magnetic fields remotely from your phone or computer.

Understand how microcontroller-based web servers work without paying for or depending on external cloud telemetry services.

Build a portfolio-ready IoT device that bridges physical sensor hardware with modern web interfaces.

Real-World Application

Wireless monitoring of environmental conditions, human activity, industrial machinery, and soil data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an internet connection to view the dashboard?

No, you only need a local Wi-Fi network router so that both your IndusBoard and your viewing device (like a laptop or phone) can connect to the same local network.

Can I access this dashboard from outside my home network?

By default, this project sets up a local web server accessible only on your local network. Accessing it externally would require advanced router port-forwarding or a VPN setup.

Do I need to wire any external sensors to the IndusBoard?

No external sensors are required because the IndusBoard Coin features built-in 3D magnetic, 3D accelerometer, and temperature sensors ready for use out of the box.
