Description

This workshop starts from the basics of Arduino programming and Analog Electronics. Students are introduced to the concepts of Internet of Things and the various development tools available around them to start leveraging the technology. They are taught to use a NodeMCU to capture data from their surroundings using various sensors; as well as send the captured data to a web application and process it further, for data storage and analysis. They are also taught to use the solution for automation of output devices such as LEDs connected to the NodeMCU.

On the whole, you understand the concept of bi-directional data flow between the NodeMCU and any IOT Platform (The Web Application) that provides similar functionalities to capture data from a device like NodeMCU and graphically present it on the web application; or for automating devices on the IOT device end with a control panel being present on the web application end.

Eligibility

This workshop is open to anyone and everyone, having a prior exposure to any sort of programming language. The workshop is intended for Engg. Grads, School Students, Designers and Hobbyists interested in creating interactive connected systems using NodeMCU over the internet.
