This course teaches advanced embedded skills for creating IoT systems using embedded systems. It introduces Industrial 4.0 and IoT concepts, and teaches SBC programming using Raspberry Pi. SBC offers microcontroller features, GUI, data storage, TCP/IP, Bluetooth communications, and interface with PLCs. It enables low-tier machine vision, better data handling, and informative GUI.
Learning Outcome
- Define essential concepts of Industrial 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT)
- Write software code running on the Raspberry Pi
- Control GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi
- Run periodic tasks on the Raspberry Pi
- Write multi-threaded applications on the Raspberry Pi
- Perform serial communications with external devices
- Store/retrieve data to/from files and databases
- Perform TCP/IP and Bluetooth communications
- Develop basic machine vision applications on Raspberry Pi
