Build an Internet of Things Weather Station

The IEEE Northern Virginia Section Hands-On Technical Workshop Series Presents: Build an Internet of Things Weather Station

By the end of this course you will:

•         Learn what is meant by “The Internet of Things”.
•         Experience breadboard prototyping techniques – no soldering needed.
•         Program the ESP8266 System on Chip (SoC) using Arduino sketches.
•         Interface environmental sensors using the I2C bus.
•         Create an account on and upload data to a free IoT service.
•         View your data graphs on a standard web browser.
•         Take home your working IoT Weather Station!

You will also use Google Charts and MATLAB Visualizations if time permits.
