Hacking Your Home with Arduino
Hacking The Home is a D.I.Y. overview to bringing your home into the 'Internet of Things' era. Taught in 2 sessions, students will leave with a foundation to connect their physical surroundings with their digital ones. Whether its monitoring the health of your plants, adjusting a room’s lighting with a cell phone or just checking to see if a door is locked, it is easy to see how bringing intelligence to our everyday surroundings can not only be helpful but also yield a new world of creative results.
Some of the topics that will be covered include:
- overview of common sensors and actuators
- creating a sensor network over wifi
- recording and monitoring your data
Note: Though beginners are welcome, this is an intermediate course. A basic understanding of creating prototypes with an Arduino and a solderless breadboard is strongly advised.
