Despite my very nomadic lifestyle, one thing has remained remarkably constant over the past few years: I have always found opportunities to teach various Internet of Things (IoT) classes. Recently, others have also started teaching IoT classes using materials I developed, along with contributions from other teachers and students.

Finally, some time to take a look at all the tech that came in recently. Join me on this little (hopefully entertaining) journey to unpack everything and please share your ideas what you would like to see me build next with all of this.

Introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT)

Attention, this is an older introduction class, check my new class material in

Description

Depending on the sources, 25-50 billion smart and networked connected devices are expected to be in use by the end of 2020. Due to recent massive price decreases in connectivity technology and availability of wireless micro controllers, sensors, and actors, this area has potential for massive economic opportunity. This is the rise of the Internet of Things.

IoT Security

Lately, the Internet of Things (IoT) is often called the Internet of Broken Things (IoBT).

Lots of planning mistakes, ignoring planning of maintainance and life cycle management for specific products have led to this slightly bad reputation.

Internet of Things (IoT) Workshops and Classes

Thu, 08 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0100

Before unifying the classes, these were the different classes I offered:

IoT Immersion: Like a boot-camp, but even more hands-on. Start directly to build your own IoT systems with ulno’s IoT kit.
Introduction to the Internet of Things for Makers and Doers (8 sessions, 2-3 hours each or 4-5 sessions 5-8 hours each)
A Taste of IoT (one-time workshop, 90 minutes to 4 hours), taught with slightly different foci with following titles:
- Tinker with the Internet of Things – How to harvest the motivational power of the Internet of Things to facilitate good STEM education.
- The Internet of Things is Here – Prototype Your Own in Mere Minutes
- Build a cheap and affordable water sensor for your community.
Build your own Game Controller (out of aluminum foil or a real retro joystick out of wood and simple electronics, one-time workshop, 4 hours)
Introduction to the Internet of Things (full university class 5 ECTS or 3 credit points, 14-16 units, 120-140h total effort, 40-60 in-class hours)
Home and Building Automation (full university class 5 ECTS or 3 credit points, 14-16 units, 120-140h total effort, 40-60 in-class hours)

Introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT) for Makers and Doers

Thu, 08 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0100

This class can be taught in 6-8 sessions with 2-3 hours each or in 4-5 sessions with 5-8 hours each. Session 7 and 8 are reserved as buffer or for projects. It is expected that participants are willing to spent a little time outside of the class for finishing up class contents and project work or engage in helping their peers.

Introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT) Immersion

Thu, 08 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0100

This immersion class is like a boot-camp but even more hands on.

It’s current title is:

Shaping the Internet of Things – Tools and Skills to Cope

This program is aimed at entrepreneurs, deciders, and people working in corporations wanting to dive into IoT for gamification, re-branding, or taking their product and services to the next level.

Comfortable Command Line Editors for Single Board Computers for Teaching IoT -> meet tilde

Wed, 12 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0200

My new favorite, the tilde command line editor.

This is a follow-up of my recent command line-editor review here on my blog. There, I was looking at nice edit (ne), micro, and kaaedit. As I was teaching recently a new Internet of Things (IoT) class - Home and Building Automation, I was looking for simple to use command editors for my new IoT framework ulnoiot. emacs and vi were not “comfortable” enough to expose my students to. Having to use git, ssh, and the command line was enough of a challenge to pose, so I wanted to go easy with the editor. I wanted something that behaved very normally and transparently even in the remotely accessed command line. It needed to even support the mouse.

Try ulnoiot for your own IoT class - first test successful

Fri, 07 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0200

I just finished teaching another iteration of Home and Building Automation at the FH Upper Austria. It is one of my favorite classes - and gaging from student feedback the appreciation goes two ways.

Development Kits for the Internet of Things (IoT)

Mon, 24 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0200

Current Kit

Current full IoT kit (and Raspberry Pi 4 gateway with IoTempower dongle) used at University of Tartu.

Gateway

The concept of a gateway is quite central for teaching IoT the IoTempower way. Therefore, each kit should contain some kind of gateway to allow an easy pre-installation of the IoTempower framework. If available for a decent cost this should be a Raspberry Pi 4 with at least 2 GB RAM, a good 3A USB-C power supply, and a fast (at least Class 10) 8GB SD-card. This can also be replaced with another single board computer, an old laptop or even Desktop. Old HPs or Lenovo Thinkpads with at least a dual core Intel i3, i5, or i7 have proven a very good reliable replacement. A Raspberry Pi (starting from Version 3) and some old laptops support running in Access-Point mode and can supply a local wireless network for a student team working with it. If the gateway does not support WiFi in accesspoint mode, a (small) WiFi router (best one that supports OpenWRT - this one is often available for a good price: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt300n-v2/) should be also supplied.
