[Sketching14] Help with OSM api/ output sensor data

[Stefania]

Hi Tom,

OSM stands for Open Street Map. 

Thanks a lot for the examples, will check them out. 

Pasting below an answer I got on a different thread 

There's no way to store sensor data on OpenStreetMap, it can only 
store raw map data. Streets, houses, etc. I think in the past some 
people have updated tags of placemarkers on OSM based on sensor data 
feeds, but it's not really accepted by the OSM community and you lose 
all sense of history. Additionally it won't show up on any standard 
OSM map. 

There are other online platforms which are specifically designed to 
publish sensor data feeds. In the olden days the best one used to be 
Pachube, later renamed to Cosm, and now called Xively. However they 
had a big relaunch a couple of years ago and I think also changed 
their business model, so not sure if they're still usable. 

Lots has happened since, I've heard of quite a few other platforms 
launching since then, but I'm not well-informed any more about the 
best options. In particular I'm not sure what ways there are to put 
sensor data on a map. 

From a quick Google search: 
http://www.yoctopuce.com/EN/article/cosm-alternatives-to-record-sensor-measurements 

Which suggests these services: 
- ThingSpeak.com 
- Open.Sen.se 
- nimbits.com 

The following discussion suggests that Xively still works fine, but 
they now only provide limited visualisation options:

Although it may still be enough to put markers on a map, I haven't checked.

Good luck!

No idea what OSM is, but I have a bunch of Yun examples online at https://github.com/tigoe/NetworkExamples. Anything that starts with Bridge is a Yun example. The BridgeRest examples may do the trick for you.

See also Temboo.com, which is a great way to do Yun to almost anything on the web.  They have a great code generator.

Hi everyone,

I am supposed to run a workshop with teenagers this Friday as part of this Anthropocene festival and teach them how to build a moisture sensors and after map the soil properties. 

Currently I am facing real issues with outputting the sensor data on OSM. Do you have any leads on easiest ways to send data from an Arduino Yun + moisture sensor to OSM. I can't find an easy way to import data in their api. 

Has anyone worked with this before and could send me any leads/ tips. Ideally something that could be easier to use by a 17th years old. 

Any help very much appreciated.
