Title E-learning on IOT Power Consumption Measurement
Summary To run an IoT device from solar you need to know how much power the device daily consumes (energy budget) and how much power you can produce from solar. Accurate data is extremely important. If your estimate of power consumption is too low, your system is more likely to run out of power. If your estimate is too high, then you will oversize and over spend on your solar panels and battery.
For example, a simple power meter can be built using 3 components: ATtiny85, INA219 and OLED module (or any component of your choice). It can continuous measure the voltage(V), current(mA) and accumulated power usage(mWh). And also plot a simple graph to visualise the figures.
E-learning has gone from a niche type of teaching for techy subjects to being a preferred, growing and almost necessary way to teach EVERYTHING. Technology is expanding and people’s need and desire to learn on their own time and at their pace is making e-learning the goal for many companies.

This project is to address the above-mentioned issue by developing an interactive learning software and/or hardware for the topic. The project is for Semester 2 to be completed within 2 semesters.
The platform for the E-learning environment is highly flexible. You could use excel with power point with embedded equation. Or it can be developed using HTML, Java, or web programming languages. You may also use Netbeans IDE, Moodle or similar platform. Or you could implement in Cadence Virtuoso, ADS, Matlab. For hardware, you can build simple circuit using off-the-shelf components to help student to see, touch and learn to make education interesting.
