Overview
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network infrastructure that connects physical objects and software applications wirelessly, allowing them to communicate with each other and exchange data via the cloud.
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn the fundamentals of IoT as they step through the creation of an Arduino-based IoT sensor system.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles of IoT, including IoT components and communication methods.
- Use Arduino communication modules to build different types of IoT systems.
- Use a mobile app to control Arduino.
- Connect an Arduino to other devices through Wi-Fi.
- Build and deploy an IoT Sensor System.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
Course Customization Options
- Arduino is available in different models and supports different programming interfaces (C, C++, C#, Python) and IDEs (Arduino IDE, Visual Studio, etc.). To request a different setup, please contact us to arrange.
Requirements
- A general understanding of electronics.
- Arduino language (based on C/C++) will be used; no previous programming experience is required.
- Participants are responsible for purchasing their own Arduino hardware and components. We recommend the Arduino Starter Kit (https://store.arduino.cc/products/arduino-starter-kit-multi-language).
Audience
- Hobbyists
- Hardware/software engineers and technicians
- Technical persons in all industries
- Beginner developers
