The Internet of Things Workshops for Spring 2017 have concluded.
Feel free to check out the slides or the GitHub repo to review any of the workshop material.
That's a wrap!
That's all for the Internet of Things workshops this quarter! This site will continue to stay up for archival purposes, and will come back to life in the event that this workshop series continues or makes a comeback in the future.
I've created a custom Raspbian image to serve as a "starter" image for your next Raspberry Pi project, available here. It's a little over 1GB in size and all you need to do is unzip it and write it to an SD card. What makes this image so special is that it uses Raspbian Lite as a base (so all "fluff" packages have been removed), but with most of the popular GPIO utilities pre-installed, along with Python3, Flask, Chromium, and the Raspberry Pi PIXEL desktop environment.
Happy hacking!
"Free Day" week, week 7!
Week 7's "free day" will have a mini-workshop on connecting to your RPi in a "headless" scenario! We'll go over configuring your Pi for headless operation, and I'll have some Pi's available for you to SSH into if you want some practice. As always, please be sure to bring your laptop to the workshop!
Additionally, please feel free to bring your own Raspberry Pi, (with SD card) and an Ethernet cable!
Week 6 slides are up!
The slides for workshop 4 have been posted! Also, I mentioned in the workshop that all of the solutions for the workshop activities would be available on GitHub, don't forget to check them out!
"Free Day" week
Don't forget, this week is "Free Day" week, which means that we won't have new "lesson content", but instead you're free to bring your own projects in to work on for the duration of the normal workshop hours.
Even if all you have is an idea of something you'd like to do, but don't know how to get started, come with what you have and we'll outline what you'll need together.
Oh and (shameless plug incoming), don't forget to come check out the Intro to Docker workshop this Friday, May 5 in WCH 135. Docker containers are great for Internet of Things projects because they provide a quick and easy way to develop your applications locally on your machine to get everything working and ironed out, and allow you to deploy it to something like a Raspberry Pi with ease once you're ready to go live.
We're Live!
Welcome to the IoT Workshop webpage!
Be sure to come back here to look for news on upcoming workshops or if you just want to download slides from previous workshops. Fun fact: this webpage is made entirely with concepts covered in this workshop ;)!
