A three-day event titled “Microcontroller Application on IoT,” which was organized by IEEE ULAB Student Branch. The event was instructed by Raisa Tahseen Hasanat, who holds an MSc in Electrical Power and Energy System from Teesside University, UK. The event covered topics related to IoT, microcontrollers, and their application.

Day 1:

The first day of the event was held on 1st October 2022. The day’s topics were related to the introduction of IoT, types of ICs, and their diagrams, and how different types of ICs work. The introduction to IoT covered its concept, its use in the current era, and its applications. Types of ICs, including digital ICs, analog ICs, and hybrid ICs, were explained in detail. The participants were also given an overview of the diagrams of different types of ICs and how they work.

Day 2:

The second day of the event was held on 2nd October 2022. The day’s topics were working with voltage levels, asynchronous and synchronous modes. The participants learned about the working of different voltage levels and how to handle them in microcontrollers. The importance of using synchronous and asynchronous modes in microcontrollers was explained to the participants.

Day 3:

The third day of the event was held on 15th October 2022. The day’s topics were related to factors to consider before choosing a microcontroller, the Arduino platform, introduction to Arduino board, third-party Arduino compatible boards, and Arduino coding. The participants learned about the factors to consider before choosing a microcontroller, including its power consumption, cost, processing speed, and memory. They were also introduced to the Arduino platform, which is an open-source electronics prototyping platform. The participants learned about the introduction to the Arduino board, third-party Arduino compatible boards, and Arduino coding.

The participants gained knowledge on various topics, including the introduction of IoT, types of ICs and their diagrams, handling different voltage levels, choosing a microcontroller, and Arduino platform, introduction to the Arduino board, third-party Arduino compatible boards, and Arduino coding. Overall, the event was informative and beneficial for the participants who attended it.
