Workshop 1: Prototyping Secure Sensor Applications Using Click Boards and the Azure Sphere Starter Kit
Instructor: Brian Willess, Technical Solutions Engineer, Avnet
Session 1: Tuesday, June 28 at 10:00am-11:45am
Session 2: Wednesday, June 29 at 2:00pm-3:45pm
Creating quick, accurate, and secure proof of concept prototypes can reduce risk in IoT applications. In this mini workshop, a complete Microsoft Azure IoT connected sensor system is explained and demonstrated by an Azure Sphere specialist. Attendees are then guided though the hands-on process of configuring Avnet’s Azure Sphere Starter Kit for a variety of sensor-to-cloud applications. Attendees will take home an Avnet Sphere Starter Kit and two MikroE click boards to enable follow-on experimentation and learning.
Workshop 2: Enhancing an Embedded Sensor Application with a Custom Voice Command Interface
Instructor: Peter Fenn, Director, Avnet
Session 1: Tuesday, June 28 at 2:00pm-3:45pm
Session 2: Wednesday, June 29 at 10:00am-11:45am
Incorporating voice recognition / command detection is a growing trend in embedded systems. In this mini workshop, a full-featured, voice-interfaced sensor system with webserver and embedded media player is demonstrated. Attendees are then guided though the rapid implementation steps of adding their own custom voice-command interface using NXP’s online VIT Voice Model Generation tool. The final building and running of a voice-enabled application using Avnet’s NXP i.MX RT1176 based MaaXBoard RT concludes the workshop, with attendees taking home the MaaXBoard RT kit for further experimentation.
