CEC Semester Ten 2016

CEC participant discussion of using IoT techniques to monitor a home’s temperature and humidity using WiFi, sensors, and embedded controller. The hands-on project to be explored is a Grove Pi+ Temperature-Humidity Monitoring unit.

An introduction to littleBits eModules and rapid build of Home Automation concepts will be presented to CEC participants. The hands-on project discussion will be on building a Coffee Control Unit using littleBits eModules and a smartphone.

CEC participants will learn how to develop Home Automation devices using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). In addition, CEC participants will build a Programmable Timer for Small Appliances using a PLC.

For our third class, we will delve into other elements of the mbed structure including the communications core and ties for multitasking and RTOS.

In this leadoff class, we will look at the concepts behind software version control and code collaboration. We will develop the checklist of what we need for an efficient system and what led Torvalds to develop Git.

For our second class, we will take the concepts from the first class, apply them to Git, and look at its structure and operation. We will also introduce the terminology that we will use through the rest of the week.

For our third class, we will delve into the popular GitHub site and will look at that implementation of Git in detail. We will explore set up of a free account for public shares and set up a share area for collaboration.
