AND101 - Mi A2 Lite

The upcoming AND101 course will include the Mi A2 Lite device - a pure Android device. See http://calendar.learn2develop.net for schedules and details.

New Topics in IOT104

We will be covering LoRa in the next run of the IOT104 course using Arduino. LoRa is a long range wireless protocol that allows you to transmit data wirelessly using license-free sub-gigahertz radio frequency bands. For course schedule, check out http://calendar.learn2develop.net/

IOT208 – Introduction to Artificial Intelligence using the Microsoft Cognitive Services

NEW COURSE

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasises the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. AI is all the rage these days. However, unless you have a PhD in AI, AI programming remains an elusive field to many developers. But this should not be the case. What most developers want is the ability to integrate AI capabilities into their applications, wihout knowing the nuts and bolts of how AI works.  

The Microsoft Cognitive Services is a suite of AI services and APIs to help developers integrate AI capabilities into their applications without needing to build the AI services from scratch. Developers simply need to choose the relevant algorithms from the Cognitive Services for their needs and requirements. Using the various services, applications can:
• Make smart recommendations
• Perform language translations
• Use machine vision to recognise users and emotions
• Perform web searches
• Perform speech recognition

Connecting the NodeMCU to a Dot Matrix Display

The NodeMCU is an Arduino-compatible development board based on the ESP8266 chipset. Using the NodeMCU, you can connect to the Internet via WiFi and this provides you with a huge potential to write interesting apps. One of the things you can do is to connect to a REST service, such as a weather Web service and download the latest weather information. With the information downloaded, how do you display it? One fun project would be to connect the NodeMCU to a dot matrix display, and you can then dynamically display the weather information using the dot matrix display.

We will cover how to do this in the IOT104 - Programming Internet of Things (IoT) using Arduino course. Click the link below to check the schedule for this course.
