Requirements

Basic knowledge in programming and particularly on Python
Interest in Internet of things

Description

In recent times, micropython is becoming increasing popular in resource constrained IOT devices such as NODE MCU ESP 8266 / ESP 32 etc.,due to its flexibility, light weight and syntax similar to python programming language.

IOT is niche technology areas and it is predicted for exponential growth in the next few years. Apart from IOT devices (eg - Node MCU, Raspberry pi etc)& sensors, the right programming langauges, communication protocols also plays a cticial role.

The course extensively uses micropython programming. Further more, not just IOT devices, the machine - to - machines communication uses wide range of protocols such as REST API, MQTT and more important socket network programming. This course cover all these protocols through presentation and demonstration through Open source cloud applications, tools.

The course coverage is as follows :

Getting micropython installed / flashed on to NODE MCU 8266/32.
The IDE used communication of NODE MCU 8266 such as Esplorer and uPyCraft.
REST API and communication with cloud through IOT - NODE MCU 8266/32.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol
Socket programming
- TCP
- UDP

An overview about ESP 32. ESP 32 is recent advanced version when compared to NODE MCU-ESP8266. ESP 32 is with better processor and higher processing capacity - RAM.

Enroll in this course to easily understand, acquire knowledge towards career progression.
