The Centre for Postgraduate Studies in computer applications (M.C.A.) organized a one-day workshop on “Exploring IoT”- A Practical approach to Innovation on April 03, 2025, from 9.30 am onward for the whole day. This event was conducted in collaboration with RDL Technologies and was specifically designed for final-year MCA students. RDL manufactures enterprise IoT products & software solutions. RDL is a team of highly skilled, visionary, and enthusiastic researchers and engineers dedicated to providing electronics product design, software design, reverse engineering, and manufacturing services with the aim of supporting the customer to stay competitive in their business while meeting their customer needs.
Mr. Ramachandra Shetty, Business Development Manager at RDL, and his expert team guided the students through an insightful demonstration on Internet of Things (IoT) devices using
• ESP32 IOT Development Trainer Kit RDL814 and
• Motors, Sensors, and Actuators Interface Trainer Kit RDL887
This workshop was specifically arranged for second-year MCA students to guide them in their project work within the domain of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Dr. Premalatha V., Principal of Canara College, extended her best wishes to the students, encouraging them to embrace the learning opportunities presented during the workshop.
In this effective workshop, students are trained by
• Microcontroller Programming: They gained practical experience in programming microcontrollers, focusing on the ESP32’s architecture, features, and wireless capabilities.
• Sensor and Actuator Integration: Participants interfaced various sensors and actuators, such as motors and relays, enhancing their understanding of hardware-software interaction.
• LED Display Utilization: The workshop included working with OLED displays to present real-time sensor data, emphasizing data visualization techniques.
• Wi-Fi Communication and Cloud Basics: Attendees explored Wi-Fi communication protocols and the fundamentals of cloud integration, providing insights into connected device ecosystems.
• Mini IoT Projects: Students applied their skills by creating mini IoT projects that combined sensors, displays, and motors, fostering innovation and practical application.
• Code Optimization: The sessions covered multiple IoT code examples, debugging techniques, and strategies to optimize code for performance .
A total of 36 students actively participated in the event, engaging enthusiastically in the hands-on sessions and discussions.
