Interfacing with a Low Power IoT

In this hands-on-hardware workshop, we explore the boundaries of traditional systems and where they converge with networks of billions of embedded devices. Starting with the theory of the Internet of Things, related data transports, and common protocols, we create embedded systems using a set of loaned hardware. Focusing on 802.3, 802.11, and Bluetooth Smart transports, we implement our own IoT edge routers serving our own network of sensor and actuator embedded computers. We will implement a simple messaging application using MQTT or AMQP, and round out the training by integrating our piecemeal solutions into a full fledged IoT system.
