Tock Showcase Applications

[bradjc]

At TockWorld 6, two separate discussions arrived on the need for Tock to maintain a handful of "showcase applications" that use the Tock kernel to implement tangible, realistic applications. These would give new users a starting place to explore Tock, as well as be good demos to show off Tock's capabilities.

This issue is a place to discuss ideas as well as catalog "showcase applications".

One idea is a weather station based on:

I'm planning to write a soil moisture tutorial with:

• one app reading analog sensor
• one app sending the data using thread
• one app deciding when to water the plant
• app 1 and 3 with access to a screen to show the moisture level and whether the plan needs to be watered

You can also send the data using LoRa, which should provide some more range as well

I don't currently have a Tock-with-LoRa board :(
