Assignment 2 – Get data for a smart system

Your task is to get data from a source of your choice (sensor or API) that might act as a starting point for a smart system.

Remember: At this point, you don’t need to think about a logic (model) or a value that will be created with the data. Your task now is to only be able to get the data.

You need to hand in your very simple program (code) and an explanation how it works (for example using code documentation). You can use whatever programming language you want. I won’t compile the code. You need to demonstrate that it’s working (video or link).

Both exercises (week 3 and week 4) prepared you for this!

1.    Decide for a data source: Service using API or sensor

2.    Write a very short program that accesses the data

a.    Choose your programming language

b.    Write the code

c.     Document and explain the code briefly

Hand in a PDF document that includes the code and a short introduction of the sensor/API and an explanation of how the code works. Proof that your code works with a short video (upload the video or add a link).

-       PDF document

-       Maximum 4 pages (with code)

-       Video

Remember: Your assignment (PDF document) will be automatically checked for plagiarism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnitin). Don’t copy text from your peers and from the Internet.
