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

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: Digital IO
    • 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: Analog In, PWM Out
    • 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
