St Pats Parade 2022 CoderDojo Robot

Well the dress rehearsal for the Shannon St Patrick's Day Parade robot costume passed - just!

Well done to Love Shannon Community Council for driving the organising this year.
During the parade you can:
1) turn off mobile data
2) connect to WiFi hotspot "CoderDojo"
3) browse to 192.168.4.1 to see live crowd selfies!
My nose is an IKEA air quality sensor that changes from green to orange to red depending on the amount of particles in the air Things I didn't get round to doing:-
1) Computer style green technical overlay of images
2) Wiring up environmental sensors to RPi Zero W for live reporting by website
3) Connecting to a LoRaWAN sensor network
Next year!
Have a wonderful day, take lots of pictures and enjoy yourselves!

Above is the sandwich board holding the RPi Zero W camera and battery.

Above is the whole costume though you cannot see the boots :)

Above shows the IKEA PM2.5 particular sensor glowing orange as the robot's nose. As I had just extinguished a candle underneath it making it go from green to orange to read after a minute.

Above the sensor is back to green :) As the air has now cleared of smoke.

And above is a test image from the web portal.

During the parade I got some nice photos..
