In recent years, some courses in Mechatronic engineering at Can Tho University are updated new knowledge to teach students. I think this is effected positive to the job of the student when they graduate from University. Most of the students want to use the knowledge not only in their project of course, but also apply them to interview in some companies.
Therefore, I would like to share with you a platform to design user interfaces for the IOT project. Note-red is a big platform that is used by coders around the world, but a few coders in Viet Nam hardly use this tool.
Definition of Note-red by nodered.org:
"Node-RED is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be deployed to its runtime in a single-click".
Luckily, I studied this tool when I was a senior in my school. I use the Note-Red dashboard to design the user interface to show the acceleration sensor to control the light and motor.
My hardware includes the main electronic components: ESP8266, Arduino nano, MPU6050
My team uses some platforms to support such as Arduino IDE, Node-red, Node Js, and cloud shiftr.io.
The process project spent about 3 months to complete and it started from the idea of Iron Man who is a character in the Marvel film. The product is the contributions from my member that I want to send thanks to my members. Finally, I would like to show you the result that my team present in the final course.
See you in the next chapter, I will have a detailed guide on steps to study Note-red and our project.
