Connect Roblox to The Things Network ... To create an #IoT Digital Twin? 🤔

What's a "Digital Twin"? It's a Virtual Object that mirrors a Real-World Object thru Sensors and Actuators ... Let's build this with #Roblox and #TheThingsNetwork

#Roblox Lua Scripting looks fun!

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/onboarding/intro-to-coding/1

#TheThingsNetwork exposes an API (HTTP GET) ... To fetch the Sensor Data from our #LoRa Devices

https://github.com/lupyuen/roblox-the-things-network#fetch-sensor-data-from-the-things-network

#Roblox provides a Lua Scripting API that fetches External HTTP URLs (GET and POST)

#Roblox fetches Sensor Data from #TheThingsNetwork yay! 🎉 Next we decode the Sensor Data with Base64 and CBOR

https://github.com/lupyuen/roblox-the-things-network#roblox-fetching-sensor-data-from-the-things-network

To decode Base64 and CBOR in #Roblox ... Just copy the Lua Libraries as ModuleScripts

https://github.com/lupyuen/roblox-the-things-network#decode-base64-and-cbor-in-roblox

Here's the #Roblox Lua Script that fetches Sensor Data from #TheThingsNetwork

https://github.com/lupyuen/roblox-the-things-network/blob/main/DigitalTwin.lua

Our #Roblox Script fetches Sensor Data from #TheThingsNetwork ... And decodes Base64 + CBOR correctly yay! 🎉

Would be so fun if #Roblox could overlay Real-World Objects thru Augmented Reality ... And watch Sensor Data in real time!

Excellent idea by Camden Bruce: Using #Roblox and #TheThingsNetwork to monitor and control your home

Let's use a #Roblox Particle Emitter to show the Temperature of our object

https://github.com/lupyuen/roblox-the-things-network

We have defined 3 #Roblox Particle Emitters to render the Temperature ... Let's interpolate them to render the Actual Temperature recorded by #TheThingsNetwork

Here's how we render a #Roblox Particle Emitter in Lua Script

Interpolating our #Roblox Particle Emitters for High / Mid / Low Temperatures
