Libelium, a company known for providing hardware and APIs for wireless sensor networks, has launched an educative initiative to support technical education focused on the Internet of Things (IoT).
One of the DIY kits.
The company is offering hands-on tutorials for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Waspmote and Intel Galileo, IoT kits, developer training and promotion and IoT courses for teachers and universities. Available via the company’s open hardware division, Cooking Hacks, the new resources are grouped by platform, skill, application and user level.
Cooking Hacks, Libelium’s open hardware division, has transformed its Website to feature over 20 new sensor and communication kits and 70 new tutorials. Professors can now easily create an IoT syllabus for lessons based on platforms – Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Waspmote, Intel Galileo – skill to practice (sensors, wireless, robotics, soldering, etc.), application, and user level and find the right hardware and software materials—in one place.
“This is a huge step for us, and it is something more than a website redesign to give it a modern look. Cooking Hacks seeks to place greater emphasis on teaching, so we have prepared 20 new kits to be added to our existing kits portfolio: that makes more than 40 education kits,” said a post of the Cooking Hacks Site.
These new kits range from WiFi or Bluetooth to GPS and GPRS, and all of them include extra components like LEDs, resistors, servo motors or an LCD display that will allow you to make lots of projects.
The Starter Kit,too, has been re-designed to include new products like an LCD 16×2 Display, a 9G Micro Servo or a Hobby Motor. The kits can now be sorted by platform, category or user level (beginner, intermediate and expert). That way, users can select the right tutorial for the platform they are using and according to their experience.
There’s also over 100 step-by-step tutorials to help learn use these kits.
