The TICK stack, which includes InfluxDB, is a platform for building IoT projects that collect and store sensor data in the cloud. The project described integrates an Arduino Uno microcontroller with a temperature sensor to collect temperature readings every 10 seconds, which are then sent to the cloud via serial port communication. A Python application on the PC reads the values from the serial port and writes them to InfluxDB, storing them as a time-stamped measurement with tags for station identification. This setup allows for scalability and querying of data across multiple stations, setting the stage for further development and deployment of IoT projects using the TICK stack.
