Can anyone assist me for learning IOT and embedded systems development

I have been learning about different microcontrollers (UNO,ESP32,NODEMCU) and C, C++

Kindly give me a roadmap to follow!

I feel there is only just-do-it map.

It's okay to do things in bits and pieces as you encounter new things. Knowing the vastness is needed and so this one.

Hi, @K.L.NAGARAJU I'd suggest starting with a simple 8-bit MCU like Arduino Uno board. With it learn how to program MCU, memories, and peripherals (fundamentals like how all works). Then, try to interface various sensors using protocols like Serial UART, I2C, and SPI. Later, pick a 32-bit ARM MCU, and get comfortable with 32 bit registers and operations. And finally, start building projects around the area of your interest. I hope this may help. Best wishes!

Welcome

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:05 PM

@Navadeep what if like, i want it to activate based on the distance of a self-made, wearable device?

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:06 PM

So that only that person with the device is locked off ?

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:12 PM

One way is to have a packet transfer between two nodes where you authenticate with keyword along with distance calculation.

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:14 PM

Let the transmitter be a beacon with the user sending unique bits. Receiver knowing the location of that bit in the datastream can authenticate from there.

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:14 PM

Crude solution - got to see what standars exist in place for this type of application.

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:16 PM

Ohhhh ok i see

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:16 PM

@Yeshvanth Muniraj hop in for this one dude.

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:16 PM

Is this doable in an arduino?

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:17 PM

We are doing a research proj but this is just for proposal

NNavadeep @Yeshvanth Muniraj hop in for this one dude.

K.L.NAGARAJUOP•1/13/24, 2:19 PM

Are you referring to the Ultrasonic sensor?

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:20 PM

Nah, the RF stuff. He's been working on this for a while now - packet transfer, protocol stack etc for automotive applications.

KKamaruu Is this doable in an arduino?

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:22 PM

Yeah - got to interface wireless module on top of that though.

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:22 PM

Perfect. Good luck on that @Kamaruu

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:22 PM

Ohhh nc nc

NNavadeep Perfect. Good luck on that @Kamaruu

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:22 PM

Thanks man, i really appreciate your help

KKamaruu Ohhh nc nc

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:23 PM

NC Not connected?

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:23 PM

Xdxd no noooo

KK.L.NAGARAJU Thanks a lot sir! @Umesh Lokhande

We will also be launching a series of videos in the server next week that help get around common problems encountered by different types of developers so be sure to keep an eye out for that!

KK.L.NAGARAJU @Navadeep I have been facing a trouble shoot with RFID interface NODEMCU

Navadeep•1/14/24, 4:38 AM

okay, you're already shooting the trouble!

Navadeep•1/14/24, 4:40 AM

did Umesh's suggestion help?

K.L.NAGARAJUOP•1/14/24, 4:40 AM

Still expected output not there yet!

Navadeep•1/14/24, 4:41 AM

What's happening now. Please explain.

NNavadeep What's happening now. Please explain.

K.L.NAGARAJUOP•1/14/24, 4:41 AM

Sure

NNavadeep What's happening now. Please explain.

K.L.NAGARAJUOP•1/14/24, 4:45 AM

Actually I'm trying to make my nodeMCU interfaced RFID reader, to read an RFID card or tag and to display the UDI of that particular card on the serial monitor!

K.L.NAGARAJUOP•1/14/24, 4:46 AM

K.L.NAGARAJUOP•1/14/24, 4:46 AM

Code writing and compilation is done!

No error founded

K.L.NAGARAJUOP•1/14/24, 4:48 AM

But I didn't find the expected output

Navadeep•1/14/24, 4:51 AM

Okay, let's take this bit by bit:

cross check if your SS pin defined in code and hardware are the same - that's the only variable I notice in the code.
UID is from the RFID tag. Are you placing the card on top of the reader? The main loop continually keeps scanning.
If you doubt over hardware or connections made, hook a logic-analyzer and check the SPI frame.
