Integrating M5Stack with Web3: A Decentralized IoT Data Logger Project
-
Hello M5Stack Community,
I'm excited to share a recent project where I integrated M5Stack hardware with Web3 technologies or Web3 development services to create a decentralized IoT data logger. The goal was to securely log sensor data onto a blockchain, ensuring data immutability and transparency.
M5Stack CommunityProject Overview:
Hardware Used: M5Stack Core2, DHT11 Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Software: Arduino IDE, Web3.js, Ethereum Smart Contracts
Functionality: The M5Stack Core2 reads data from the DHT11 sensor and sends it to a local server running Web3.js. This server then interacts with an Ethereum smart contract to store the data on the blockchain.

M5Stack CommunityChallenges Faced:
Ensuring reliable communication between the M5Stack device and the local server.
Managing gas fees and optimizing smart contract interactions for cost-effectiveness.
Next Steps:
Implementing real-time data visualization using M5Stack's display.
Exploring integration with other blockchain platforms for comparison.
I'm keen to hear feedback from the community and discuss potential improvements or alternative approaches.
This project is a personal endeavor aimed at exploring the intersection of IoT and blockchain technologies. It's not affiliated with any commercial entity.
