Embedded Systems Starter Kit
A complete, documented kit for students and hobbyists who want to move from theory to a working embedded project without an instructor standing next to them.
Educational Kits
IoT Sensor Lab Kit
Build a connected sensor node and send real data to a dashboard — Wi-Fi, MQTT and the cloud.
Why this product
What it gives you
End-to-end by design
Learners finish with a working node-to-dashboard path, not an isolated blinking LED.
Safe defaults
Example configurations use test credentials and clear guidance on keeping keys out of shared code.
Escalating difficulty
Exercises step up from publishing one reading to handling connectivity loss and buffering data.
What it does
The kit covers Wi-Fi provisioning, MQTT publish/subscribe, JSON payload design and dashboard setup. Exercises deliberately include failure cases — a dropped connection, a stale reading — because that is what separates a demo from a deployable sensor node.
Documentation assumes no prior networking experience and explains the vocabulary as it is used.
Applications
- IoT and networking modules in engineering curricula
- Mini-projects and final-year project groundwork
- Hobbyist home monitoring and automation builds
- Faculty workshops on connected systems
What we hand over
- Wi-Fi controller board with USB cable
- Four sensor modules with cables
- Breadboard, jumpers and power supply
- Field guide plus dashboard setup walkthrough
