Complementary to the Yaler relay service we offer the following workshops, as a general introduction to connected products.
We've been developing and actively monitoring technology in the field for years - from enterprise mobile applications to the Internet of Things. By presenting examples from various industries and introducing a simple Internet of Things reference model, we facilitate a new perspective on what becomes possible once physical products get an API.
Enterprise R&D lead or technical product lead, if possible together with your in-house IP expert, ideally less than 10 people.
08:00 | Mutual introduction (30 min) |
08:30 | Connected products (90 min) |
10:00 | Reference model (15 min) |
10:15 | Coffee break (15 min) |
10:30 | Discussion (90 min) |
12:00 | Lunch |
The "bottom-up" approach of the Do it Yourself (DIY) and Maker movement becomes increasingly important for innovation in the enterprise. Get hands-on experience with Arduino controllers, sensors and actuators. Learn how to prototype Internet-connected products. If you prefer Linux or .NET, the workshop material is also available for BeagleBone or Netduino hardware.
Participants should bring a computer to install and run the development tools. Basic programming skills are an advantage but not required. If the workshop is held at your venue, we need a projector, a whiteboard and a robust Internet connection with DHCP.
Everybody, from students to enterprise R&D, ideally around 10 participants.
08:30 | Mutual introduction (30 min) |
09:00 | Connected products (1 hour, presentation) |
10:00 | Getting started with hardware, IDE (2 hours, hands-on) |
12:00 | Lunch (1 hour) |
13:00 | Sensors and actuators (2 hours, hands-on) |
15:00 | Monitoring and Web-control (2 hours, hands-on) |
17:00 | Physical mash-ups (30 min, live coding) |
17:30 | Finish |
Thomas Amberg (@tamberg) is a software engineer ETH, founder of Yaler.net and organizer of the IoT Zurich Meetup. As a regular at the MechArtLab hackerspace and at FabLab Zurich he works on DIY projects from the #OktoberfestOfThings Internet-connected Masskrug to assistive technology for elderly people.
Workshops can be held in German or English, on your premises (incurs travel cost) or at Technopark Zürich, Switzerland.
