Workshop: Building an IoT empire (Part 1)

Identifying and implementing IoT use cases with sensors and actuators

Technical minds and creative electronic artists will appreciate (and hopefully extend) the ideas put forth in this explanatory IoT session. A cookie cutter approach is taken while assembling embedded hardware to build a web of things with sensors and actuators controlled by low powered computing nodes.

This workshop spans two hour long timeslots.

This is the first of two timeslots. In this hour, we're introduced to the physical web and IoT concepts as well as the materials on hand.

Some computing use cases common to us all involve:

Health functions (temperature, blood pressure, heart rate)
Entertainment (storage and control of entertainment media)
Logistical transport (IVI, auto control, and public transportation)
Physical security (entry control and alarm systems)
Nighttime safety (Light and movement detection)
Malicious vendor detection (IoT transport filtering)

We'll examine our lives and how embedded computers should or should not manage sensors and actuators. While considering the interface to legacy telecommunications and cloud technology, we'll use specialized IoT platform hardware to construct a network of things. Our network will cover well defined use cases or a bring your own idea scenario, and we'll reflect on achievements in the second timeslot of Building an IoT empire (Part 2).

Participants will benefit from bringing their own (Linux, Windows, OSX, or other) computer, but everyone is welcome and can benefit by simply observing. The workshop wiki is located at:
