PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT USING ARDUINO, KPR Institute Engineering and Technology, Autonomous Engineering Institution, Coimbatore, India

The department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering organized a workshop on “Product Development using Arduino” on 17/02/2023. Dr.C.Pazhanimuthu, Assistant Professor (Sl.G) has delivered a valuable presentation on role, importance, protocols for the development of product using Bluetooth and internet of things. He also delivered the basic Arduio programming concepts and programs for LED blinking, LED chaser, street light control, Bluetooth based home automation. As well deals about how to build a small app through MIT app inventor for controlling the developed products. In addition how to control the devices over cloud through open source cloud storage. Finally showed the visual demonstration of various project development using Arduino controller to the participants. The following contents were delivered to the participants elaborately the basic types of sensors, actuators and controllers, Arduino types, Arduino programming basics, Controlling of loads using Bluetooth, Serial communication, Need and importance of IoT, Recent technologies in IoT for automation, Demonstration of automation projects such as street light control, control light and fan using Bluetooth over Mobile App, control light and fan using WiFi over Mobile App Dr.C.Pazhanimuthu, Assistant Professor (Sl.G) was showed the working model projects to the participants as well explained its function and how the communication takes place between the devices.
