Hands-on Workshop: Embedded Device to AWS IoT Analytics

This is not a AWS associated or Amazon supported event.

Are you interested in IoT, AWS, Embedded Devices, Arduino, or cloud based Analytics? This hands-on workshop incorporates all of these elements in demonstrating how to connect your ESP8266 12-E or ESP32 device to AWS IoT Core utilizing Node-Red and Arduino. Once we have connected your device data to AWS IoT Core we will demonstrate Amazons new “ad-hoc’ analytics solution “AWS IoT Analytics”. Finally, we will graph our transmitted data with both AWS QuickSight and AWS SageMaker using a Python program.

You don’t absolutely need a ESP8266 or ESP32 device as I will show you how to generate psuedo data with Node-Red but it would be best if you brought one of these inexpensive devices for your own education. You will also need a laptop with the following free software installed.

1. Sign-up for a AWS Free tier account

2. The Arduino IDE with the ESP8266 and/or ESP32 Board manager and required libraries.

(You wont need this if you don't have the device, we can use Node-Red as both an device connection tool and endpoint only testing tool)

3. Sign up for a free, cloud-based, Node-Red Account here:

(Make sure you register a cloud based Node-Red instance with a static IP, do not use the locally installed version Node-Red)

4. Optional: Bring your ESP8266 or ESP32

Event starts at 4pm in Room 05 of Taborspace in SE Portland. Limited to 20 seats.
