Introduction to IoT

Welcome to Day 1 of our IoT Workshop! Today, we introduced the basics of IoT through presentations and hands-on activities, covering topics from setting up your development environment to hardware essentials and simple programming.

• VS Code.
• Install Platformio extensions
• (in some cases) Install the missing USB Driver for the CP210x USB to UART Bridge

• AMC Core Kit by EOLab
• Breadboard Overview

Now let's check if your Microcontroller works. Also, you will learn how to upload your first sketch. Basic Blink example:

main.cpp

#include "Arduino.h"
 
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
 
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                      // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);   // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                      // wait for a second
}
