Description
In this course we will focus on sensor networks and their subjected communicative abilities. Understanding the basic structure of a sensor in relationship with a micro controller unit is essential in order to create a language for delivering and receiving information within a network of their equals. Regarding the interconnectivity of shared information, we will create certain use cases and corresponding prototypes that will investigate in more detail the response of given information.
Technical approach
The following technologies and languages will be encountered within the course: - WebSocket - Node.js (Javascript) - HTML - Preferably Arduino microcontrollers. Alternatively, these boards can be used as well: Raspberry Pi’s, Beagle Bone Boards - Various sensors
Admission requirements
This course will be held in english and is dedicated for master students enrolled in another IFD course offering, or with instructor permission. Basic knowledge of electronics, microcontrollers and software development is required. Furthermore, it is assumed to purchase electronic components, like BLE or NFC modules, wires, batteries and so forth (depending on your project).
