PREREQUISITES

The following assumptions are made for the course:

• the participant is familiar with the fundamentals of programming Arduino systems in the Arduino IDE;

• the participant can configure a Wi-Fi network;

• the participant has access to an Arduino ESP module, HC-SR04 range finder, jumpers wires required to build a simple data acquisition system, and a Wi-Fi access point. 

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• presenting the possibility of implementing communication between devices using IoT technology;

• equipping the course participant with practical skills that will allow the construction of simple, hardware and programming solutions in the field of IoT systems;

• familiarizing the course participant with practical programming methods and tools in the field of preparing the working environment for ESP hardware modules, using the MQTT protocol for communication between different systems, and developing a simple website for presenting measurement data with the use of programming libraries.
