Project 4-IoT-Internet of Things
Overview
Organizations need to be able to incorporate and deal with the Internet of Things (IoT) as this technolgy becomes pervasive.
This project will introduce Single Board Computers (SBC) in the form of a Raspberry Pi, and microcontrollers in the form of an Arduino Uno and a micro:bit.
A number of exercises will be done to familiarize you with each device.
Then you will experiment with other devices made from these components which perform differing functions.
You can work together and help each other on this project, but each student must hand in their own work.
IoT Assignment Summary
Begin this by completing these exercises to learn to:
- IOT01-Raspberry Pi 3 B+- configure operating system
- IOT02-Raspberry Pi-learn VNC-Virtual Network Computing
- IOT10-mySQL database on Raspberry Pi
- IOT04-WiFi network monitoring with Raspberry Pi
- IOT05-Apache web server on a Raspberry Pi
- IOT08-Nagios network monitoring with Raspberry Pi
- IOT16-Node-RED coding on a Raspberry Pi
- IOT13-Python and sensors

Other things to consider
IOT06- Attach to Partner's Apache2 Webserver
You could also work with a partner and use VNC to attach to their webserver on their Raspberry Pi.
Or you could view your partner's website from your laptop browser.
