This course covers embedded systems setup, interfacing controllers with peripherals and IoT devices, IoT communication protocols, and cloud-enabled IoT operations, including cloud services, messaging, and real-time data visualisation on end-user devices.
Learning Outcome
- Design an embedded IoT gateway and IoT devices
- Configure IoT end-to-end systems from IoT devices to the cloud
- Create the operations of various I/O devices
- Set up wireless local area network (WLAN) 802.11, Bluetooth LE and ZigBee wireless connectivity
- Apply industry standard software tools in IoT development
- Evaluate I/O signals and troubleshoot IoT systems using industry-grade test and measurement instruments
Methodology
The course will be conducted in two major ways: lecture on the theory part, while programming hands-on on the practical part. Classroom discussions will be carried out throughout the entire course. And submission of assignment is required as part of the assessment of the certification.
Pre-requisite
This course assumes a basic understanding of programming, particularly the ability to comprehend code. While no new code will be written, participants should be comfortable understanding and modifying sample code written in C, Python, and Linux Shell.
