Tenet Technetronics is glad to say that we have conducted a Wireless Embedded workshop for 3 days @ Jain University, Davangere on 13th, 14th and 15th October, 2016. This Workshop was organized by the Dept. of Electronics and Communication in association with Tenet Technetronics.
The main objective of this workshop was to make students aware of Wireless Embedded Systems and micro-controllers. It’s a pleasure for Tenet Technetronics that we hearty thanks to the Electronics and communication department faculties and Management for providing us an opportunity to host this training in their college and making it successful event.
On the first day, the very first session was presented by our technical expert Mr. Umashankar Shetty with introduction to Arduino. Then the session followed up with the Arduino micro-controller platform. It was a brief introduction about the micro-controller, Arduino platform, its features and hardware and software description.
Students were very attentive and were keen in learning the interfaces. As the second session was followed up with Hands-on Arduino interfaces with Universal GPIO board. The session carried on with interfaces like glowing an LED, blinking a series of LED’s, beeping a Buzzer, Reading a value from Push-button and turning ON an LED, 7 segment display to display the count from 0 to 9 so on… Analog sensors interfaces like Potentiometer (reading analog value and printing on serial monitor), Light Dependent Resistor, where analog values were read and based on the light intensity a series of LED’s were made to glow which is similar to a smart street light, and students were instructed to implement a mini project on the same.
On the day two, the session continued with hands-on interface with the micro-controller and sensors like Temperature sensor to measure the temperature value, DC motor to run in both directions and another project based on the temperature value the DC motor has to be turned ON. The last session of the day was completely based on wireless interfaces like Bluetooth and RF. Using Bluetooth module, transmitting a string of characters from Android Bluetooth App to Micro-controller and vice-versa and receiving a string of characters from the Android Bluetooth App and controlling a status of an LED interfaced with micro-controller. Using RF module as a remote controller i.e., controlling a status of LED by receiving a bit transmitted by transmitter. The participants were very good in interfacing and rigging the circuits, as well as writing the programs. Different task were assigned to the students while interfacing various sensor.
On the final day of the workshop, the session started with interfacing with ZigBee communication, how to configure ZigBee and how to interface the same with Arduino, IR sensor to count the no of people entering the room and PIR sensor detect the motion and accelerometer to read all 3 axes, that is x,y, and z-axis.
Finally we concluded the training event by presenting a demo on interfacing Passive RFID reader, GSM and LCD with Arduino.
At the end of the day the participants were provided with the certificates. The students were interested to attend many such events in future and we had a pretty good feedback from them.
