What this session would cover
Proposed outline — the mentor finalises the agenda once this topic is scheduled.
- 1The real problem: hardware projects never leave the breadboard
- 2The tool landscape: Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, ESP-IDF, STM32CubeIDE, Zephyr, FreeRTOS, ROS 2, Mosquitto — what each is for and where they overlap
- 3How to choose: team size, integrations, where your data lives, and today's pricing and availability (checked live, not from memory)
- 4Live practical task: Send ESP32 sensor data over MQTT to a dashboard
- 5Build the reusable output together: IoT starter project
- 6When you don't need a new tool at all, then live Q&A on your own setup
Who it's for
- • Students and developers who want hands-on practice with real tools
You'd leave with
- IoT starter project
- A shortlist of 2–3 options from Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, ESP-IDF, STM32CubeIDE and others, with the criteria to pick one
- Hands-on practice: send ESP32 sensor data over MQTT to a dashboard
