Description
Physical, real‑world things are becoming increasingly visible and actionable via Internet and Web technologies. Propelled by dramatic decreases in technology costs, a proliferation of sensors, improved connectivity including between devices. This includes cell‑phones, washing machines, jet engines etc.
The goal of the module is to introduce students to internet technologies, wireless communications, sensor devices and to provide students with a practical understanding of the Internet of Things.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Explain the term internet of things and describe some current and potential applications and the different technologies employed.
2.
Establish and troubleshoot network/device connectivity (fixed and wireless) between IoT components (microcontrollers, sensors, actuators).
3.
Work in a team using design thinking principles to produce an application which takes data from a sensor and pushes it to the cloud using an existing web service or open source library.
4.
Work in a team using design thinking principles to produce an application which allows a user to control a simple output device from the internet via a microprocessor.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Work will be predominantly conducted in small lab-based groups, typically working in groups. The emphasis will be on experimentation to explore the interplay between software and hardware in pursuit of an identified goal. The objective is to assist the student in identifying embedded knowledge in the problem domain, work to understand it in praxis and attempt to apply it in the context of his/her own need. Hands-on labs help students develop critical thinking and complex problem solving skills.
Module Assessment Strategies
Continuous assessment will take place in a laboratory environment employing simulation
techniques as well as hands on testing using approved industry standard equipment and/or simulation software. The aim is to assess tacit The aim is to assess tacit knowledge as well as explicit codified knowledge (both self- and open-sourced), testing the student's ability to deal with problems as they arise. The ability to analyse, identify & recognise bugs/incompatibilities/faults/solutions is best gauged over an extended assessment period.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat exam and /or repeat assessments to examine the learning outcomes that have not been achieved.Repeat assessments will follow a similar form to the continuous assessments presented over the module. In the case of non-attend repeat students, it may be necessary to purchase a micro-controller board & a small set of related components, all of which is readily available.

Projects to help you build a world of smarter things with this book and ebook
Overview
- Learn how to interface various sensors and actuators to the Arduino Yun and send this data in the cloud
- Explore the possibilities offered by the Internet of Things by using the Arduino Yun to upload measurements to Google Docs, upload pictures to Dropbox, and send live video streams to YouTube
- Learn how to use the Arduino Yun as the brain of a robot that can be completely controlled via Wi-Fi
In Detail
Internet of Things (IoT) is currently a growing trend in the technology space, and the Arduino Yun is the perfect board to get started with building IoT projects. This book covers many of the powerful features of the Arduino Yun via four exciting projects. The first project is all about sending weather measurements data to a Google Docs spreadsheet for easy online visualization. The second one is about building an energy consumption meter and controlling devices remotely. The third focuses on the field of security, by helping you to build a camera that is triggered by motion and that uploads pictures automatically to Dropbox. Finally, the last project is in relation with the field of robotics, and focuses on building a robot that is controlled via Wi-Fi.
The main focus of this book is to teach everything you need to know to build complex projects using the Arduino Yun, organized around the fields of home automation, security, and robotics.
What you will learn from this book
- Connect various sensors to the Arduino Yun
- Send sensor measurements to Google Docs via Temboo
- Interface the Arduino Yun to Twitter via Temboo
- Create automated e-mail alerts based on measured data
- Use the Arduino Yun to control home appliances such as lamps
- Measure energy consumption using the Yun
- Take pictures with a USB camera and upload them to Dropbox
- Build robots and control them remotely via Wi-Fi
Approach
All projects are explained in a step-by-step manner, always starting with the assembly of the hardware and followed by basic tests of every hardware component. You will then learn how to build exciting applications in a practical manner based on the details of the projects.

Expand Raspberry Pi capabilities with fundamental engineering principles
Exploring Raspberry Pi is the innovators guide to bringing Raspberry Pi to life. This book favors engineering principles over a 'recipe' approach to give you the skills you need to design and build your own projects. You'll understand the fundamental principles in a way that transfers to any type of electronics, electronic modules, or external peripherals, using a "learning by doing" approach that caters to both beginners and experts. The book begins with basic Linux and programming skills, and helps you stock your inventory with common parts and supplies. Next, you'll learn how to make parts work together to achieve the goals of your project, no matter what type of components you use. The companion website provides a full repository that structures all of the code and scripts, along with links to video tutorials and supplementary content that takes you deeper into your project.
The Raspberry Pi's most famous feature is its adaptability. It can be used for thousands of electronic applications, and using the Linux OS expands the functionality even more. This book helps you get the most from your Raspberry Pi, but it also gives you the fundamental engineering skills you need to incorporate any electronics into any project.
- Develop the Linux and programming skills you need to build basic applications
- Build your inventory of parts so you can always "make it work"
- Understand interfacing, controlling, and communicating with almost any component
- Explore advanced applications with video, audio, real-world interactions, and more
