SYSTEM DESIGN WORKSHOP

Date and Time:
October 2nd and 3rd, 2024, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Venue:
Skill development Centre,Nss College of engineering Palakkad

Description:
The two-day hands-on workshop on "Microcontroller-Based Embedded
System Design (Including IoT)" was organized by the IEEE Student
Branch of NSSCE in collaboration with the IEEE Industrial Electronics
Society (IES). The workshop aimed to provide participants with a
comprehensive understanding of embedded system design using
microcontrollers, with an emphasis on Internet of Things (IoT)
applications.

Objectives:
1. To impart knowledge of microcontroller architecture and
programming.
2. To enable participants to design embedded systems with real-world
applications.
3. To introduce IoT integration with embedded systems.
Day 1: Overview and Microcontroller Programming
The session commenced with a warm welcome by the organizing team.
Dr. Raghu C V led the introduction to embedded systems, covering the
fundamental architecture of microcontrollers. The primary focus was on
programming techniques, where participants were introduced to popular
microcontroller platforms like Arduino . Several hands-on activities were
conducted where attendees programmed basic input-output operations
and interfaced sensors with microcontrollers.
Day 2: IoT Applications and Advanced Concepts
The day 2 session mainly focused on the practical application of
Microcontrollers and IOT by means of hands-on workshop. Also
equipped the participants with the design procedures of Microcontroller

based embedded system. The main programs discussed in the sessions
were:
1.Switch LED program using Wi-Fi microcontroller.
2.DC motor interfacing with pull up and pull-down resistors.
3.Non-contact switch using IR sensor.
4.Analog interfacing with node MCU using potentiometer.
5.Serial communication of data with its monitoring and graph plots.
6.Interfacing of LCD display with microcontroller.
7.Interfacing microcontroller with LDR using relay.
8.Ultrasonic sound sensor and distance measurement.

Discussion Points:
● Effective use of microcontroller units (MCUs) in embedded design.
● The significance of IoT in modern embedded systems and real-
time applications.
● Project-based learning to implement IoT-enabled systems using
microcontrollers.
● Future applications of embedded systems
Feedback and Conclusion:
The participants expressed positive feedback about the workshop,
emphasizing the value of hands-on learning and the expertise of
the facilitators participants gained practical knowledge that can be
applied to real-world projects.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks by the IEEE SB team,
highlighting the success of the workshop and the active
participation of all attendees.
