Description
In this 3-day half time course the participants will learn basic of “Internet of Things” technologies by practical example by implementing a network connected model "Smart House". Breaking into ten (10) groups of four (4) students, each group will connect a various sensors and actuators to a number micro-controllers (similar to Arduino) which in turn will connect to an “IoT” server. Once the basic connectivity is established then the students will explore the interactions between devices that are only made possible by the “Internet of Things”.``
In this course the students will:
- Explore the world of microcontrollers
- Implement an IoT client on a microcontroller
- Develop an understanding and implement the logic that underpins a “Smart House"
Requirements:
- Programming experience (C like language) mandatory
- Understanding of internet fundamentals desirable
- Experience with microelectronics desirable
- Each participant to bring their own laptop (Mac OS X, Windows or Linux)
