Creating web and mobile dashboards
After uploading the code to the device, it’s time to set up a dashboard for web and mobile to visualize data with different widgets. Figure 6.24 demonstrates the visualization of readings with different widgets.
Figure 6.24 – The Thing dashboard
We have four readings from the GPS module to visualize. Here, I have used four widgets: one gauge, two values, and one map. The gauge widget shows Speed Per Mile, while the two value widgets have been used to display Altitude Feet and Satellite Count. The map widget was used to display Location based on the latitude and longitude coordinates, which are stored in a cloud-based location variable. Currently, the map widget is only capable of displaying the location of the asset device based on coordinates; if you have multiple assets to track, then you need to set up multiple map widgets according to the number of tracking devices.
