Semesterplan and Tasks

Online Session on Thursday 18:00-19:00

== Session 1: Monday 07th Dec: Introduction

• Introduction to the course, presentation of the hardware.
• Organisation - make teams of 2 people

=== Videos and Tutorials to watch

• Watch the Introduction: https://youtu.be/Irxo9b5cexs
• Go through Tutorial Basics, Tutorial Digital IO, Tutorial Analog IN
• look at the following page: https://micropython-on-wemos-d1-mini.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basics.html

=== Tasks and Submission

• Unpacking of the hardware
• Install the software on your computer, put the software image onto the ESP8266 D1 mini, see Tutorial Basics
• Task 1:
  • Connect 3 external LEDs and let it blink in different speeds
  • Connect a button to a digital input, when the button is pressed all LEDs should be on
• Task 2:
  • Connect 1 external LED
  • Connect a potentiometer to A0 and read the analog value
  • change the brightness of the LED with the analog value (PWM)
  • write the analog value to the serial line
• Submission:
  • For each task submit a video of max 30 seconds (should show the setup, your code ond the screen, an the system functioning)

== Session 2: Sensors and Actuators

• 17th Dec: IO, sensors and actuators
  • watch videos: sensors (distance, acceleration), actuatos (stepper, servo)
  • hand in basic chip working, digital IO and analog in
  • orga: system design in groups of 2
• 7th Jan: networked system IoT
  • watch video: netvars, autostart, building a system
  • hand in of reading sensor (distance or acceleration) and moving someting (servo or stepper)
• 14th Jan: a system, ideation
  • watch video: topic introduction, about ideation
  • hand in the initial system that exchanges date over the internet (e.g. minimal slider/poti on one side and color chaning RGB LED on the other)
  • ideation
  • orga: make groups
• 21th Jan: bigger system and idea presentations
  • hand in the version 2 of the system - as a group (from 2 to 4) (improved, fixed)
  • group idea presentation
• 28th Jan: group project
  • orga: fix groups, time plan, concept, and time plan

To Check:

• Thursday 18-19 - handing in would Wed 23:59 - and Hiwis are available on Wed from 16-20?
• or 17-18 on Mon OK?
• When do we have a slot for Hiwis

• First session with students for WS20/21 on the 7th of Dec - before the open lab day
• Presentation of last terms course on Monday 7th as part of the open lab day - 3 Min video + 7 Min discussion
