ComNets will conduct the Internet of Things (IoT) block course in September, the 8th iteration since 2016. As usual, many interesting topics are taught in this course, ranging from different microcontroller platforms to application scenarios.

All topics are refreshed every year to accommodate current technologies used. One of the main changes this year is using ESP32-based microcontrollers in the Arduino lab. Instead of the ATMEL platform we used previously, we want to emphasize how the same microcontroller platform can be used with different development environments. We also introduced the BME280 sensor for students to write code in the lab to collect multiple environmental data to analyze and present in a report.
