Creating a Dynamic web page

Overview

• In this lesson we are going to learn how to present sensor data in a simple web page.
• The web page will be dynamic because we will update the web page with new data each time we run our atm_sensor_get.py program.
• Presenting dynamic data in a web page makes it much easier to monitor changes.
• Normally a dynamic web page is hosted on a web server.
• If data is hosted on a web server then you can view your sensor data from anywhere in the world.
• This very useful when you need to routinely monitor data coming from an important project.
• Today we will only be looking at simple weather sensor data: temperature, atmospheric pressure and battery voltage.
• We can also use sensors to monitor other important projects.
• We use water level sensors to monitor the health of waterbodies.
• Some waterbodies are home to the threatened Growling Grass Frog.
• They need water to be present all year round (especially in summer) so that they can breed successfully.
• We will develop and deploy these types of sensors soon!
