During this 3 hour workshop/ master class you’ll learn:
- How the MySensors eco-system works and which role a gateway plays in the eco-system.
How to connect simple electronic components to an Arduino
The difference between AC and DC and why this is important when you connect electronics that have a polarity. (This is just enough to give you a kick-start, because we can not go deeply into electronics during a 3 hour workshop).
The anatomy of a sketch for a MySensors node.
How to create some simple MySensors nodes (temperature sensor/ light sensor/ RGB light).
How you can combine multiple sensors into one node. We’ll be making a temperature/ light level node.
Get an overview of the different gateways that are supported by MySensors.
How you can secure your nodes by adding signing (and why everyone should do that).
In order for you to be able to participate you need have some basic knowledge of writing software. Because we unfortunately don't have time during this event to learn you how to write your software.
If you don't live in the Netherlands, but just happen to be in the neighborhood. The language for the Summercamp and workshop is all English and we're happy to welcome you.
So if you want to learn about MySensors, want to have some fun and maybe drink a beer after the workshop please don’t hesitate to register for this fun event. This is a BYOL event, which means that you’ll bring your laptop and I’ll provide the Arduinos and the other electronic components you’ll need.
There’s no fee for participating in this workshop. However, there is a limited number of places available, so please register as soon as possible if you want to participate.
Finally, the keynote for the Summercamp is also worth mentioning. This will be ‘Challenges and opportunities around elastic data pipelines’ by Jorg Schad, (Distributed Systems Engineer at Mesosphere, Inc.).
