Introduction to the Internet of Things and Embedded Systems (Week 1)



1.      Identify and analyze a device that is an IoT device now, but in the past was a non-IoT device .                   Describe and list the features of the device. Compare the functions of the device in the past to the             functions of the device now.

>>>    Old traditional watch :
                    Needs Battery
          Smart IoT watch :
                    Contains different sensors
                    Chargeable
                    Calculates many things in our body such as Blood Pressure, Heart rates etc.

2.       Compare the functions of the device in the past to the functions of the device now.

>>>    Old traditional watch :
                    Shows only time
          Smart IoT watch :
                    Shows time
                    Calculates Heart rates, Blood Pressure etc.
                    Connects to the smart phones

3.       For your chosen IoT device, list any improvements or any diminishments if they exist, over the                  non- IOT device. Describe any limitations that are present in the new IoT version of the device.

>>>    Improvements :
                    Facilitates life
                    Make calls
           Diminishments :
                    No security
           Limitations :
                    Screen size is small

4.      Describe any privacy issues with the IoT device that never existed in the original version of the                 device. Compare the price of the original device to the price of the new IoT version of the device.               When performing a price comparison, attempt to normalize for the changing value of currency over           time by using an online inflation calculator.

>>>    Issues :
                    They can detect your locations
          Comparisons:
                    Old traditional watch costs nearly about $500
                    Smart IoT watch costs nearly about $1000.

Introduction to the Internet of Things and Embedded Systems (Week 2)

1.        Identify two embedded systems that are sold on the market today and analyze their interfaces. >>>      DIGITAL CAMERA       A digital camera is very good example of Embedded system.       Cameras that we use today are smart and have a lot of features that were not present in early        cameras all because of embedded system used in them.       A digital camera has basically three functions, to capture image which we call data, to store            image data, and to represent this data.       Today images are stored and processed in form of digital data in bits.           HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS       Home security systems has another good example of Embedded systems.       These systems have several features just as checking for fire or gas leakages, and...

The Arduino Platform and C Programming (Week 1)

Image
1.         Install the Arduino IDE on your computer. Compile the "Blink" example, upload the example to the             Arduino board, and make sure that the LED blinks. Use the  www.tinkercad.com ​ simulator if you                 do not have the Arduino hardware.            Take and upload a screen shot that shows the "Done compiling" message and the byte number                 information in the message area. >>> 2.       Install the Arduino IDE on your computer, compile the "Blink" example (review Lecture 3.2 for a                  refresher). Then, upload the example to the Arduino, and make sure that the LED blinks. Use                    the ww...

Why Downloading Speed Is Less ?

Telecom companies says that you will get internet speed of 16Mbps. But when you download a file, you get speed only of 2MBps. Have you ever wondered what is the reason behind this ? Bits & Bytes Internet speed is measured in 2 units that most people don't know - MBps or mbps. See the capital and small "B". The value of 1b (bit) & 1B (byte) is given below. This means that 16Mbps is equals to 2MBps. 8 bits = 1 byte 16Mbps = 2MBps Reason   Telecom companies use smaller unit Mbps for advertising & attracting users. and when you use internet the speed gets divided by 8.
