In the past year, we played around a lot with IoT using the Raspberry Pi and Witty Cloud (ESP8266). Arduino is an alternative to these machines, also used to automate something in your house like your lights or implementing cool gadgets.
One of our IoT champions, Aishwarya Dhall, offered us a great opportunity to dive into the Arduino technology and play around with handson labs. She also told us of the exciting IoT projects she's done with Capgemini.
Also, a welcome to our special guest tonight: Harrie van der Plas of UWV.
We have learned to control a LED strip, and connected a variety of sensors so that the color and number of lights reflected the measurements. This time we programmed in good old C and C++.
A lot to do in a few hours. Hence we decided to continue the labs in our next IoT Wednesday Evening Training, that now encompasses Raspberry Pi, Witty Cloud and Arduino technology. One of the things we should also definitely do: a 101 on electronics (aka workshop-on-how-to-keep-your-device-from-a-major-meltdown).
So... to be continued!
Next week, we'll continue our dive into Unity3D with our bowling alley VR-lab.
