The heart of any IoT system are its sensors. These devices come in a variety of modules, each playing a role in specific aspects of the system such as energy, RF, power management, and sensing.
Wearable electronic devices are small devices that can be worn on the head, neck, arms, torso, and feet.
The devices that we use every day like desktop computers, cell phones, and tablets are all connected to the internet. These devices are used to control the IoT system.
The asset you want to control or monitor.
Acquire physical signal and convert to digital.
The “computer” to process data, perform analytics, store data locally, and other edge computing.
Communicate with 3rd party systems, either locally or in the Cloud.
Hardware platforms are a key component of IoT projects, where various components are connected. Most hardware development boards feature microcontrollers and microprocessors, and some even come with inbuilt sensors. These boards tend to be very small in size, for example coin-sized. Some boards also offer high bandwidth WiFi radio and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as USB connectivity.
