Video description
This course demonstrates how to design, build and deploy WiFI connected IoT devices. It introduces you to a low cost ESP8266 IoT computer, shows you how to configure the ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE (integrated development environment), explains the Grove "no-soldering-required" prototyping system, and leads you through two start-to-finish IoT projects. Designed for learners with a very basic understanding of programming, electronic components (resistors, switches, etc.), and the interconnection between servers and browsers, this course requires the following IoT hardware and software: Arduino IDE, ESP8266 SDK, the Adafruit Huzzah, an FTDI Cable, and a set of Grove prototyping devices. Each requirement is explained at the beginning of the course.
- Gain a fundamental understanding of the Internet of Things-the IoT
- Build two working IoT prototypes using off the shelf components
- Learn to set up, configure, and program an ESP8266 IoT computer using the Arduino IDE
- Understand how to build an IoT web server
- Practice creating complex IoT devices using the Grove "no-soldering" prototyping system
- Learn to use the IOT messaging protocol (MQTT) with the Raspberry Pi and the Adafruit.io platforms
