Internet of Things: Embedded software development
|
||||||||||||||||
|
IOT: ESD is course in which students are taught to develop microprocessor based software solutions. During education, students are introduced to the basics of electronic circuits and the physical characteristics of various electronic components.
The development of the solution includes the design of the circuitry and the development of the background application in C / C ++. Used microprocessor and basic components are based on Photon Particle development board.
In addition to the development of applications, students are introduced to different types of sensors and actuators that they can use when designing their projects.
Thanks to the IOT features of the Photon Particle Component, education also involves connecting and managing devices over the Internet
