Explore embedded systems and IoT with a practical overview of the field’s current state and future directions, as delivered by a fourth-year mechatronics student sharing hands-on home hardware practice.
Define the embedded system as the integration of hardware and software that enables control of devices, from home appliances to cars and factories, without over-automation.
Discover how embedded systems blend hardware and software, choosing languages, C, C++, Rust, and MicroPython, with C++ features such as smart pointers, lambdas, and classes, plus driver modules.
Discuss programming languages in embedded systems, including Rust, MicroPython, and C/C++, and explain why market stability favors C or C++ for hardware, while MicroPython targets AI or software-only tasks.
Learn essential embedded tools, including Git, GitHub, GitLab, and GitKraken, plus IDEs like VSCode with Platform.io. Explore Protus simulations and verify serial communication via terminal tools such as screen.
Explore popular embedded boards from Arduino (avr) to stm32 and arm cortex, learn about I2C, ADC, VUART, and wireless options like WiFi and Bluetooth with ESP32.
Explore the roles of FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and Embedded Linux in real-time systems, and learn how kernels schedule tasks across boards like STM32, AVR, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi, including QNX.
Explore the embedded IoT stack from hardware with microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators to wireless communication, MQTT protocols, and cloud data storage, including brokers, publishers, and subscribers.
Explore embedded system design with STM32, relays, and PT-100 sensors in AutoClav and robots, using ROS and IoT for sensor fusion, Kalman filtering, and a dashboard HMI.
Explore how learning paths in embedded systems map to a career, contrasting PLC with affordable ESP32 boards, and highlighting CAN communication, IoT features, and testing longevity.
