Weekly vblog 2022 IoT summer course

# Weekly vblog 2022 IoT summer course ## 1 - Week 23 - Hardware - We started early on just so everyone should have HW in time. - Sorry for this, but we've really done our best. Early contact way in time before course starts. - Status ... - FiPy, on it's way from Electrokit. - Heltec - Lost on the way... ZERO chance that you'll arrive in time. Orders cancelled. - Way forward - be pragmatic, and don't worry too much. :smiley: - Sizable.se ESP32. - https://sizable.se/P.CE9S1/ESP32 - Amazon.se https://www.amazon.se/AZDelivery-NodeMCU-Heltec-OLED-sk%C3%A4rm-inklusive/dp/B08242895W/ref=sr_1_1?crid=OWU2P2R0ETJO&keywords=heltec+esp32&qid=1654866146&sprefix=heltec+esp32%2Caps%2C66&sr=8-1 - Buy second hand LoPy4. There's people in #buy-and-sell channel in Discord. - Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect. Really solid choice as well. - Quizzes - Workshops - First workshops done. Experiences so far ..? - Spirit of the course -> everything is possible. A minor speedbump on the way is nothing. Still. You will need some HW. - We will adapt. - Online simulator. https://wokwi.com ## Week 2 - Mid survey. https://lnu-ftk.instructure.com/courses/233/quizzes/323 - Voluntary, **anonymous**, 23 responses already - Hardware status? - The gist of the course. Workshops and you DOING is what's important. - Lectures are less instructional and more looking outwards to give a broad view of IoT. - Workshops should guide you with the actual projects. - There are also so much great learning material on the internet already. Please share! - Course materials - Shared on the Planning page https://lnu-ftk.instructure.com/courses/233/pages/planning - Quizzes - Q1 - IoT Basics: 215 respondents (avg score 86%) - Q2 - Python Basics: 128 respondents (avg score 87%, new time limit of 60 mins) - Q3 to be published on Monday next week - Workshops - Week 4 (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) workshops, finalizing the project and report - Questions about handing in late - Will be yet another round in August. Still, not recommended. Please follow the milestones/deadlines - it will make everyone's life easier. - A short guide on how to use Discord - The IoT-tutorial and project hand in. - Check the project tutorial/report. https://hackmd.io/@lnu-iot/iot-tutorial - Presentations of the project [final (5th) week], Mon-Wed - Peer reviews [final (5th) week], Jul 7th, Thursday - Grading is done last (5th) week. Mehdi Saman Azari (PhD researcher) will read all the reports. :slightly_smiling_face: - **Next week** - Final week of (guest) lectures - Pietro (2 lectures): Docker, TIG stack, MQTT, Pub/Sub messaging - Sadegh: Edge Computing - Alessandro: Privacy and Security in IoT - Live stream 12h. Don't miss this, it will be fun. - **3D-printing**, rest is bonus material. ## Week 3 - Mid survey. - 47 respondents. - Generally happy. 93% expectations so far. - - Discussions with some students about HW and keeping time - Just keep it simple. - Read the IoT Tutorial. - A note. This course you are required to do a lot of work yourself. - Discord is intimidating. You are not required to follow and read everything. - You can finish the course just by watching the study guide, do quizzes and make a project. Workshops are there to _help_ and _support_. - Slow TV Day was a success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idyT0KBAKy8 - ~700 views already! - 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T93cED-0Sos (1036 views) - No more lectures/talks - Quizzes - Q1 - IoT Basics: 226 respondents (avg 86%) - Q2 - Python Basics: 190 respondents (avg 87%) - Q3 - IoT, Sensors, Infrastructure: 79 (avg 87%) - Q4 - 3D Printing Basics: to be published on Monday - 2nd attempt to hand-in project report: - Around mid-August (recommended to submit in the 1st) - Project report hand in - Check the project tutorial/report https://hackmd.io/@lnu-iot/iot-tutorial - Submission will open on Monday week 26 - Presentations of the project [Week 27], Mon-Wed - Peer reviews [Week 27], Jul 7th, Thursday - Grading is [Week 27].
