Description

An introduction to building the internet of things (IoT) for people and the environment. In this module students will be introduced to concepts and technologies underpinning connected environments and the role technology can play in trying to measure and understand the built and natural world. Through a series of 10 practical workshop sessions students will be introduced to IoT prototyping tools, existing sensor systems in 果冻影院 East and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and will build a simple sensor system to monitor the environment for the duration of their course.

Aim:

  • Understand the building blocks of creating a connected environment (IoT)
  • Understand the various actors participating in our digitally connected environment
  • Understand the context of IoT through work that has gone before and Living Lab environments
  • Create a simple Arduino sketch with a sensor input and / or actuator output
  • Connect an Arduino IoT device to a Raspberry Pi based datastore (Telegraf / InfluxDB / Grafana) to collect data over a wireless network
  • Sketch, photograph and use rapid prototyping to explore ideas
  • Provide peer feedback to fellow students on project work (鈥渓earn, build, critique鈥)
  • Create and present design decisions and prototypes to receive critical feedback
  • Document and share project information on GitHub to support reproducible research
