Assignments
A total of three assignments will be handed over. These assignments are done in groups of 3 students.
The development of the smart object will be based on the NodeMCU ESP8266 ESP-12F Wifi Lolin V3 platform. Students are required to buy the ESP8266 platform together with an electronic components starter kit that will be used during the course.
A basic shopping list:
The above equipment will be used to learn the basics of Arduino programming and circuit assembly. Additional components may be needed, depending on your design choices for the realization of the course projects.
Each project will be demonstrated at the end of a three weeks period. Each group needs to hand in the final prototype, a poster (printed) demonstrating the design choices, and a video presentation of 60 seconds. The evaluation of the projects will be based on the Design Aspects (analysis, prototypes, aesthetics), the Research & Experimentation carried out during the development and the Interaction, Technology & Integration.
