Unlock the Power of IoT: Device to Cloud Communication with AWS IoT Core
This comprehensive course guides you through the process of connecting devices to the cloud using Amazon AWS IoT Core, leveraging the AWS Free Tier. You'll gain hands-on experience building a complete Internet of Things (IoT) solution, from device programming to data analysis in the cloud.
Prerequisites:
- An active AWS Free Tier account.
- Local installation of the AWS CLI tool.
- Installation of MQTT.fx for testing.
Device Programming:
We'll focus on programming inexpensive, WiFi enabled embedded devices including:
- ESP8266
- ESP32
- Raspberry Pi
Using MQTT protocols, you'll learn to transmit data to AWS IoT Core. We'll explore various IoT development environments and programming languages:
- ESP8266: Mongoose OS (JavaScript), Arduino (C)
- ESP32: Arduino (C), Zerynth (JavaScript), FreeRTOS (JavaScript, Python)
- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B: AWS IoT SDK (JavaScript, Python)
You can use one or more of these devices, or simulate data transmission by sending JSON test payloads directly from AWS IoT Core.
Data Processing & Analysis in AWS:
The course delves into creating AWS IoT Rules and Actions to harness the power of integrated AWS IoT services. You'll learn to:
- Send, store, file, manipulate, and graph sensor data.
- Utilize key AWS applications, including:
- DynamoDB
- S3
- SNS
- Lambda
- Data Pipeline
- Glue
- QuickSight
- AWS IoT Analytics
- SageMaker
