IoT Introduction Workshop

During this hands-on workshop you will get to know the basics to create an IoT application using sensors, microprocessors and Microsoft Azure services.

The experience of creating a complete IoT chain from scratch gives you valuable insights and deeper understanding.

Overview

You are going to build some IoT sensors producing different kinds of data. These sensors can run autonomously (battery- or adapter-powered) and connect to the internet using a Wi-Fi connection. TODO: extend

In this workshop, you will

• learn about different types of development boards, sensors, etc.
• build a simple sensor by wiring up a circuit and program the microcontroller
• build an "Internet Button"
• stream data to the cloud service
• build a real-time dashboard to visualize all the data
