Embedded design for Wireless Sensor Networks

Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming ubiquitous with the extensive use of custom designed embedded controllers & edge sensor nodes getting more and more intelligent and capable to transmit their information directly to a cloud and also get controlled/actuated from the cloud. The pervasive nature of hooking anything to the Internet which was not thought previously opens up a new era of imagination and deployment for a connected world with endless possibilities. The hands-on workshop covers the architecture of TI CC3200 which is a wireless microcontroller and the first in the industry to evolve to a single microcontroller programmable to wireless (WiFi standard) connectivity. The learning outcomes are :

  • Good exposure of Internet enabled systems and their applications.

  • Learning the CC3200 controller design & architecture.

  • Working knowledge of Energia IDE .

  • Understanding on working of Wireless sensors.
