Hands-on IoT Devices Training
29th March 2025
The IoT (Internet of Things) Club of Dronacharya College of Engineering conducted a hands-on training session on 29th March 2025 for its junior members, aimed at introducing the fundamentals of IoT devices and their real-world applications.
Led by senior club members - Tapendra, Kartik, Aditya, Parth, and Tashu - the session focused on building a strong foundation in hardware programming and sensor usage, which are essential aspects of IoT development. First and second-year students participated in a series of guided, step-by-step activities covering topics such as microcontrollers, sensor interfacing, and digital-physical connectivity. Participants were introduced to basic IoT components and learned to write their first programs by controlling LEDs through GPIO pins. The session also included the use of ultrasonic sensors for distance measurement, where students interfaced the sensor with a microcontroller and performed real-time data display.
Through these exercises, participants gained fundamental knowledge of IoT hardware, understood the working of sensors and actuators, and learned to debug simple circuits. The interactive and collaborative environment fostered teamwork and peer learning, while the mentorship from seniors instilled confidence and sparked motivation to pursue more advanced IoT projects in the future.
