Introduction
The Internet of Things
The Internet of Things or IoT for short is one of the major subjects in computer science these days. Micro-controllers with Internet access can be bought for a few Dollars and these devices are powerful enough to even run a (Micro) Python interpreter locally. In addition they have all the interfaces needed to access many types of sensors needed for IoT work. These include GPIO, I2C, I2S, SPI etc. |

< | In this course we will learn how to write Python code for the ESP32, a powerful dual core 32 bit micro-controller, which can be purchased for ~ 4 US $. Many sensor "shields" are available which can be simply plugged into a "base board" together with the CPU board, where the base board provides all the necessary connections. Like this no soldering, bread board cabling work etc. is necessary. |

| | The goal of the course
The course teaches some basic Python programming and the acquisition and control of sensors and actuators implemented on the sensor shields. Display of the acquired data can be accomplished natively with TFT display boards or remotely through a WEB server or MQTT data transfer to a server on the Internet. |
