WORKSHOP ON ESP 8266 – EMBEDDED SYSTEM

#ias #ras

A hands-on workshop on the ESP 8266, organized by IEEE IAS SBC MESCE in collaboration with IEEE RAS SBC MESCE, commenced on August 10th at 9:30 AM. The workshop began with Ms. Keerthana M, Vice Chairperson of IEEE SPS SBC MESCE, who provided overview and the significance of ESP 8266. Following this, the participants were introduced to the pins of ESP 8266 and were provided with the essential IoT components for the workshop, including the breadboard, ESP 8266, and micro USB cables. Following this, the session was handed over to Mr. Jishnu A, Chairperson of IEEE IAS SBC MESCE. Jishnu guided the participants through the setup process for the ESP 8266 and introduced the NodeMCU, explaining its pin configuration in detail.

The 26 participants were divided into groups of 4-5 to facilitate interactive learning. The workshop's hands-on projects began with a basic LED blink project utilizing the built-in LED of ESP 8266. Subsequently, the participants then progressed to an external LED blinking project for which the necessary hardware, including LEDs and 200-ohm resistors, was provided. This dwelled the participants into the realm of IoT, leading to the next project of interfacing the NodeMCU with the ultrasonic sensor, beginning with an overview of the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor.

Following a brief intermission for refreshments, the workshop resumed with the introduction of an infrared sensor, including its integration with the ESP8266 using the provided LED and 100-ohm resistor. This was followed by an overview of LDRs and their interfacing with the NodeMCU, utilizing the LDR, a 10k-ohm resistor, and other necessary hardware. Next, the session covered DC motors and the dual H-Bridge L293D motor driver board, with hands-on demonstrations using the NodeMCU with the help of Blynk IoT software. The participants were then introduced to the LCD module and its connection with the NodeMCU. Using the 16×2 LCD, I2C board, and additional components, the participants were able to display their name and department on the LCD screen. The workshop concluded at 1 PM with a summary of participant feedback and insights.
