About the Author:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Minal Sandeep Firodiya, a student of Cummins College of Engineering for Women, talks about learning Internet of Things and building various IoT projects.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One thing that constantly daunted me after my first year of engineering was the fact that I wasn\u2019t gaining any practical knowledge. So, after much deliberation and discussion with my peers and teachers, I decided to learn a new technology. <\/span>I googled the in-demand technologies and stumbled upon an article on Internet of Things and the futuristic transformation of the world through a vast internet network. I was intrigued by this concept and after some in-depth research into it, I started my quest to figure out a way to learn IoT<\/a> without compromising my college studies and spending a lot of money. That’s how I came across\u00a0Internshala Trainings and\u00a0<\/span>their support team\u00a0<\/span>answered all my queries about the training\u2019s structure in detail. O<\/span>nce I was satisfied with the content structure of the training, I enrolled in Internshala\u2019s IoT training. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the training started, my excitement knew no bound. I didn\u2019t have to travel back and forth, and I could learn IoT sitting in my hostel room at any time. Another advantage of the training was that it was for beginners and didn\u2019t require any prior knowledge. I was provided with a BOLT – IoT hardware kit, which included the components required for the training. <\/span>It\u00a0was a 4-week program comprising 3 modules which revolved around the basics of electronics, cloud, analytics, sensor integration, and smart devices. The first module taught me how to build an IoT monitoring system by setting up a cloud-connected sensor network and visualising data collected by them. The next module talked about the key concepts of HTML and JavaScript along with the interface to build web-controlled apps. The last module was regarding clouds, APIs, and alerts wherein I learned the basics of Python. Each module had some experiments designed for a better grasp of the concepts and tests at the end of the modules. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the training, I worked on different projects such as Environment Monitoring Application<\/em>, which sensed the changes in the intensity of light, Internet Connected Alert System<\/em>, which would help evacuate a place in case of an emergency, Web-based Temperature Data Logger for Pharmaceutical Companies<\/em>, Automated Alerts over SMS and E-mail<\/em>, and Glowing of LEDs<\/em>. I also created my own cloud account using DigitalOcean<\/em> and learnt to build a physical device that posted tweets automatically. <\/span>The training gave me an extensive insight into the world of Internet of Things. I can now program R-Pi board using Python language and relate the BOLT embedded system with Raspberry-Pi and Arduino!<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, I am developing a project on Lighting System of a Refrigerator<\/em> based on IoT, which I\u2019m planning to present in the upcoming technical fest in my college. This project\u00a0revolves around building a proof of concept for the lighting system of a refrigerator that uses data from an LDR and a push button. In simpler terms, I\u2019d use the light intensity and button state to collect relevant data to decide the state of the fridge from the following.
\n<\/span>1. Door open – bright and button released
\n<\/span>2. Door closed – dark and button pressed
\n<\/span>3. Door half open – dim and button released <\/span><\/p>\n
