Internet ?

Internet

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link billions of devices worldwide.

- Wikipedia

Internet = Comp. Networks + Web

Web

• Web 1.0 - "Readable"
• Web 2.0 - "Writable"
• Web 3.0 - "Executable(M2M)"

Things ?

Things

• Physical objects
• Devices
• Vehicles
• Drones
• Smart Watches
• Smart Glasses
• Cameras
• Buildings and other items

Tesla

Amazon Echo

Google Glass

Internet Of Things

Why ?

Why IOT

• We humans are lazy and intelligent.
• If you want to scale things automation is must.
• Better decision making.
• New business models.
• Very less chance of errors.

Automation For Scaling

And It's So Cool = Read This : Link

Decision making

"There's data everywhere"

"Data helps in decision making"

Decision making

Everything has a state which is represented by attributes

Expiry Date

Heart Rate

Age

Time

Decision making

States of objects can/be changed and the record of all the state changes over the time period is data

Decision making

location information

health monitoring

Home appliances monitoring

Traffic monitoring & Control

Waste tracking & management

Access Control & Security

Now, let's select a hardware platform for prototyping the "T(Thing)"

Options are

• Arduino (E.g. Uno, Intel Edison)
• Raspberry Pi
• BeagleBone Black
• Ti Launchpad
• ESP8266 and many more....

Arduino Uno

Raspberry Pi

Beagle Bone Black

Ti Launchpad

Arduino

• It's a MicroController
• An open-source physical computing platform based on a simple MicroController board
• Takes input from sensors and creates output depending on how you code it
• So many versions (Uno, Leonardo, mega...)
• Most famous DIY board
• LINK

Raspberry Pi

• It's a complete Computer.
• Has Operating System
• More powerful than Arduino
• Cheap $35
• Very famous in DIY community
• Easy to learn as it runs all kinds of Operating systems
• LINK

BeagleBone Black

• It's a complete Computer.
• Has Operating System
• More powerful than Raspberry Pi
• Very famous in DIY community
• Easy to learn as it runs all kinds of Operating systems
• More expandable 
• More no of GPIO pins
• Realtime processing using PRUs
• My Favourite
• LINK

Ti Launchpad

• It's a MicroController
• An open-source physical computing platform based on a simple MicroController board
• Takes input from sensors and creates output depending on how you code it
• Similar to Arduino
• Used in MitEdx "intro to embedded systems" course
• LINK

I Choose Arduino

• Easy to learn.
• Widely Available in the market
• Cheap  ₹600 - ₹800 (Indian Makes)
• So many versions (Uno, Leonardo, mega...)
• Most famous DIY board
• Wide community support
• Awesome minimal IDE

What's on board

The Arduino IDE

• Plug your Arduino into USB port

• Select your board and correct port in IDE

Process

Board Selection

Port Selection

Example Selection

Hello World (Blink)

Connect led long leg(+) to pin 13 of Arduino 

and short leg (-) to GND pin

Click the verify button then click the upload button

Success

Cool Eh!!

Now ?
build an "I" from "IOT" ?

Nahh !!!!

it's already there to serve us

Tools

• Arduino Shields (Connectivity & expansion)
• ESP 8266 (Wifi)
• CC3000 Breakout Board or Shield

Arduino Shields

Shields are boards that can be plugged on top of the Arduino PCB extending its capabilities. The different shields follow the same philosophy as the original toolkit: they are easy to mount, and cheap to produce.

Ethernet Shield

Wifi Shield

GSM Shield

CC3000

ESP8266
