01What is Internet of Things (IoT)
What is Internet of Things (IoT)? In plain words.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is about connecting everyday devices – sensors, lights, motors, meters – to the internet so they can send data and be controlled remotely. A typical IoT system has a sensor node such as an Arduino or NodeMCU, a network link over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, a gateway such as a Raspberry Pi, a cloud platform that stores the data, and a phone or web app that shows it.
IoT is used in smart factories, energy and water metering, agriculture, healthcare monitoring, smart buildings, vehicles and consumer electronics. Employers look for people who understand the full chain: wiring a sensor, programming a microcontroller, choosing a protocol such as UART, HTTP or MQTT, pushing data to a cloud like ThingSpeak and making sense of it with Python. This course covers that chain step by step with hardware practice.
Vellore district's engineering colleges, including VIT in Katpadi, produce many ECE and EEE graduates who need practical IoT skills. Factories in Ranipet SIPCOT and electronics and automotive firms in Sriperumbudur, Hosur, Chennai and Bengaluru are adopting connected machines and smart metering.
What you will be able to do
- Explain IoT architecture from sensor to cloud to app
- Program an Arduino MEGA and interface LEDs and sensors on a breadboard
- Use UART and USB serial communication with Arduino
- Control devices over Bluetooth with the HC-05 module
- Connect NodeMCU and ESP8266 boards to Wi-Fi and the internet
- Store sensor data on ThingSpeak and control devices using TalkBack and a REST client
- Set up a Raspberry Pi as an IoT gateway and server with Python CGI
- Implement an MQTT broker and analyse IoT data with Python libraries
