Designing and Developing Products for the Internet of Everything (IoE)

Designing and Developing Products for the Internet of Everything (IoE)-Coursework Brief

Assignment Support

Expectations: Every individual should analyse and design a suitable solution using any IoT development board like raspberry pi/ Arduino/ ESP32/ ESP8266, etc and different services/ sensors. Note: You can plan and choose any IOT board and any sensors. This assignment will assess module learning outcomes 2, 3 and 4.

Rationale: The report should demonstrate understanding of industry-based challenges given below. The awareness of various types of solutions should be shown and recommendations for potential solutions should be based on justified arguments. You should demonstrate how theories can be applied. The robustness and correctness of the system should be tested, and performance should be evaluated with known and innovative technological solutions. You should reflect upon measures/steps taken to incorporate ethical, accessibility and usability standards in the developed system and the resultant implications.

Individual Assessment – 40%

Suggested requirements for the assignment: Raspberry pi/ Arduino/ ESP32/ ESP8266. You can also develop and test the whole system in simulation software like Tinkercad or Proteus or Wokwi with any programme language, connectivity network, output devices (i.e. LED/ MQTT Lens, I2C or SPI LCD or even Serial Monitor).

Coursework Brief

The Scenario – IoE

You need to build a complete IoT system that can have real life application related to home, healthcare, transportation, and community, etc. For example, one can create a system that can measure and monitor humidity & temperature of home, measuring distance between the two objects, creating a Burglar alarm or any other security system.

For this development, you need to develop a system using at least 1 esp32/ Arduino/ raspberry pi, 1 sensor device (any active or passive sensor) and 1 output device (Serial monitor/ LCD/ LED/ MQTT lens). Finally, you should also make use of wireless communication using either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

1. The solution could use any type of output devices (i.e. LED/ MQTT Lens, I2C or SPI LCD or even Serial Monitor).
2. The solution could use any type of input devices (i.e. Passive Infrared sensor, Ultrasonic sound sensor or DHT sensor).
3. You can use any development IDE (Integrated development environment) and any programming language (Arduino C or Python, etc) of your choice.
4. You should demonstrate the use of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to send or receive data from IoT devices to output devices.
5. You can further publish the sensors data to any MQTT broker or HTTP server.

Specific Deliverables: The lab report should include the following:

• Provide explanations for your chosen system covering its functionalities.
• Provide description of the solution (what IoT system has been implemented? What does it do?  What sensors and output devices have been used?)
• Provide the whole architectural design of the chosen IoT system.
• Provide explanations and working of all protocols used in your designed system.
• Provide the whole programming codes used in the whole system.
• Provide the snapshots demonstrating the testing and working of the system.
• End the report with a section containing discussion on the issues and application areas of the system including an understanding of the commercial context and privacy/security issues.
