Description
This course gives a brief introduction to IOT and enables the students/enthusiasts to create very easy and useful applications through NodeMCU hardware and supporting sensors in a fastest way.
Regular courses which teach IOT through Raspberry pi may incur a cost of 30 - 50 $ including different sensors to complete the learning process, where as this course uses hardware like NodeMCU which is Open-source, Interactive, Low cost, Simple, Smart and WI-FI enabled hardware powered by ESP8266
Regular courses use C/ C++ language to code,Where as this course emphasizes more on the use of MicroPython which is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language that includes a small subset of the Python standard library and is optimised to run on microcontrollers and in constrained environments.
This Course uses popular PyCharm IDE from Jetbrains available free as community edition
Course is completely experimental / lab based and has no boring lectures
It shows how to interface and grab data from sensors like Vibration, Temperature, Humidity, Pressure
It teaches how to post / visualize the data grabbed from sensor on to internet, visualization brokers/interfaces like Thingspeak and Adafruit.IO are used
Apart from visualization the course also teaches how to control IOs/devices connected to NodeMCU hardware through internet from any place in the world
Our rationale to build/teach this course: We went through different courses on IOT and found that there is need for a course which can teach people about building IOT Apps under limited budget
Who is the target audience?
- Hobbyists, Electronics Beginner, Electronics Professionals
