The Arduino Platform and C Programming

The Arduino is an open-source platform for creating digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world. In this course, you will learn about the Arduino hardware, software, and programming using C code. You will also learn about shields, which are smaller boards that plug into the main Arduino board to perform other functions. Upon completing this course, you will be able to:

Interfacing with the Raspberry Pi

(0 hours)

The Raspberry Pi uses a variety of input/output devices to communicate with the outside world. In this class you will learn how to use these protocols with other external devices to get your IoT device to interact with the real world. Most physical devices use analog signals; however computer hardware is digital so in this class you will learn how these signals are converted back-and-forth.

Programming for the Internet of Things Project

(0 hours)

In this Capstone course, you will design a microcontroller-based embedded system. You can optionally build and test a system. The focus will be to design the system for a real-world application on a low budget. You'll need to use all the skills learned in the course. The project will include core requirements, but leave room for creativity. In the end, you will produce a unique final project, suitable for showcasing to future potential employers.
