We'll show you how to get your Arduino Yún to check for EPA-regulated facilities in the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). You'll be able to reduce your chances of encountering chemical spills dramatically.
This sketch uses our EnviroFacts > Toxins > FacilitiesSearchByZip Choreo.
1Make sure you have a Temboo account. If you don't already have one, you can register for a free account here.
2Make sure that your Yún is connected to the Internet.
Copy the sketch code below into a new tab in your Arduino IDE. This code calls the FacilitiesSearchByZip Choreo, and you can replace the ZIP code with any valid US ZIP code.
/*
ToxicFacilitiesSearch
Demonstrates making a request to the Envirofacts API using the Temboo Arduino Yun SDK.
This example retrieves the names and addresses of EPA-regulated facilities in the
Toxins Release Inventory (TRI) database within a given zip code.
This example code is in the public domain.

The sketch above references the TembooAccount.h header file, which contains your Temboo account information.
If you are currently logged in, you'll see your account details in the code snippet below (otherwise you'll see placeholder values). Copy the code snippet into a new tab in Arduino and call it TembooAccount.h.
#define TEMBOO_ACCOUNT "ACCOUNT_NAME" // your Temboo account name #define TEMBOO_APP_KEY_NAME "APP_NAME" // your Temboo app key name #define TEMBOO_APP_KEY "APP_KEY" // your Temboo app key
With both files in place you are ready to upload the sketch and check for toxic facilities from your Yún. Now you're free to put your thoughts elsewhere, like worrying about astroid strikes.
If you're working with the Yún Shield paired with another Arduino board, you'll need to make some small changes to the Yún sketch above it so that it's compatible with the Arduino Yún Shield.
1First, change the include statement #include <Temboo.h> to #include <TembooYunShield.h>. Your include statements should look like this:
#include <Bridge.h> #include <TembooYunShield.h> #include "TembooAccount.h"
2Next, change the Temboo object name from TembooChoreo to TembooYunShieldChoreo. Your code should look like this:
TembooYunShieldChoreo FacilitiesSearchByZipChoreo;
3Now your code is ready to run on your Yún Shield!
Now that all that unpleasant business is out of the way and you're (hopefully) not in any danger, why not check out the other 2000+ Choreos in our Library and start thinking about all the possibilities for your next Yún project.
