A Pipe is a device that directs the flow of data from a sensor to the place of the Pipe owner's choosing. With Open Pipe Kit it's easy to build Pipes, even for folks who don't program. That means a Pipe will be in the places where you can't always be and you'll always know what is going on. You can send data to Google Sheets, Farm OS, Adafruit.io, and many other places. Join us!

What is the Open Pipe Kit?The Open Pipe Kit (OPK) is the missing plumbing between sensors and databases that will empower thousands of data journalists, civic hackers, farmers, etc. to collect data without needing a programmer's assistance or being locked into one data platform from a proprietary turn-key solution. When the OPK is ready, anyone will be able to build a Pipe for $60 of readily accessible parts, access the Pipe User Interface from a smartphone or PC, choose a sensor from the list of supported sensors, plug the sensor into the Pipe, and then choose a location to stream data to. If the sensor or database you're hoping to use isn't on our list of drivers, someone with programming knowledge can contribute a driver for that sensor or database back to the Open Pipe Kit project. It's Open Source! SensorsSome of the first sensor drivers we are building include ...

Who are the OPK developers?The Open Pipe Kit developers are software and electrical engineers that have been building environmental monitoring solutions for data journalists and civic hackers for years. They have now figured out a way to empower 95% of these use cases with one piece of software and documentation, they call it Open Pipe Kit. The Open Pipe Kit ManifestoOur mission is to develop a kit for building Pipes that ...
The Internet has often been compared to a system of pipes. Imagine that these pipes carry water: for someone interested in collecting water from a local river in order to store it for later use, then, to date, nearly all the "Internet of Things" sensor data solutions are like companies that sell customers proprietary pipes and fittings designed to transport the user's water (sensor data) to a remote, hidden reservoir (a cloud-based server); and typically the user is then required to pay a fee in order to access this now-remote resource. We believe it is vital for people in the fields of sensor journalism, environmental monitoring, and agriculture to have full control over the data they collect, and to be able to use reliable, easily-acquired, open source hardware and software that can be modified and repurposed without permission. The Open Pipe Kit is a system designed to meet this need, based on a Raspberry Pi and Node.js. Users of OPK will be able to collect data from sensors and store it either locally (on microSD) or remotely on a server of their own choosing.

What is the Open Pipe Kit?The Open Pipe Kit (OPK) is the missing plumbing between sensors and databases that will empower thousands of data journalists, civic hackers, farmers, etc. to collect data without needing a programmer's assistance or being locked into one data platform from a proprietary turn-key solution. When the OPK is ready, anyone will be able to build a Pipe for $60 of readily accessible parts, access the Pipe User Interface from a smartphone or PC, choose a sensor from the list of supported sensors, plug the sensor into the Pipe, and then choose a location to stream data to. If the sensor or database you're hoping to use isn't on our list of drivers, someone with programming knowledge can contribute a driver for that sensor or database back to the Open Pipe Kit project. It's Open Source! Some of the first sensor drivers we are building include ...

Who are the OPK developers?The Open Pipe Kit developers are software and electrical engineers that have been building environmental monitoring solutions for data journalists and civic hackers for years. They have now figured out a way to empower 95% of these use cases with one piece of software and documentation, they call it Open Pipe Kit. The Open Pipe Kit ManifestoOur mission is to develop a kit for building Pipes that ...
The Internet has often been compared to a system of pipes. Imagine that these pipes carry water: for someone interested in collecting water from a local river in order to store it for later use, then, to date, nearly all the "Internet of Things" sensor data solutions are like companies that sell customers proprietary pipes and fittings designed to transport the user's water (sensor data) to a remote, hidden reservoir (a cloud-based server); and typically the user is then required to pay a fee in order to access this now-remote resource. We believe it is vital for people in the fields of sensor journalism, environmental monitoring, and agriculture to have full control over the data they collect, and to be able to use reliable, easily-acquired, open source hardware and software that can be modified and repurposed without permission. The Open Pipe Kit is a system designed to meet this need, based on a Raspberry Pi and Node.js. Users of OPK will be able to collect data from sensors and store it either locally (on microSD) or remotely on a server of their own choosing.
