Internet of Things (IoT)

• IoT allows accessing and controlling daily usable equipment's and devices
using Internet.
Application Area of IoT
 Tools to Implement IoT Projects
• To implements IoT projects the most popular tools are
• Raspberry
• Arduino
• Tessel 2
• Eclipse IoT
• PlatformIO
• IBM Watson
• OpenSCADA
• Node-RED
• Kinomo Create
• Device Hive
 Classifications of IoT boards
 In today’s market, one can find many boards with different specifications.
IoT boards can be broadly classified into two segments:
 Classifications of IoT boards
 Microcontroller Boards: The cheapest and easily available boards in
market. Most of the IoT prototypes developed by students are based on it.

 Advantages:
Very simple to learn and implement.
Low-cost IoT board.
A wide range of third-party libraries and sensors are available.
A huge community of users along with easily available resources.

 Disadvantages:
 Processing and task performance speed are lower.
 In general large size board structure.
 Classifications of IoT boards
 Single Board Computer: These are mostly used to provide command and
interfacing within several devices in industrial situations for process control.

 Advantages:
 Inexpensive
 Easily available in market.
 General-purpose Input-Output pins are available.
 Fast Processing

 Disadvantages:
 Memory is still a limitation.
Low fault tolerance, the board is prone to damage in case pins are inserted
incorrectly.
 Classification of Microcontroller based
Arduino Boards
 Developed by Arduino itself. Example are
 UNO

 Micro
 Nano

 Developed by other manufacturers than Arduino but uses IDE of

Arduino. In general they provides High Level of Integration.

Example are:
 ESP32
 ESP8266 (NodeMCU)
 Classification of Arduino Boards
 The classification of Arduino is based on
Number of input/output channels

Number of Digital and Analog pins

Processor
Memory
Networking Support

 Working of Arduino

 Get an Arduino (starter kit)

 Download the compiler

 Connect the controller

 Configure the compiler

 Connect the circuit

 Write the program

 Debug/Get it to work
