This talk will explore the implications of the Internet of Things (IoT) for Africa's development and how Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework for addressing the challenges in advancing sustainable development in Africa. We will talk about The Internet of Things (IoT) as a rapidly growing technology that has the potential to transform various sectors in Africa,...
This presentation focuses on the IoT Development Lab at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana. The lab provides students with hands-on experience in developing and integrating embedded systems using Python and Micropython. The presentation highlights the controllers used in the lab, including the ESP32 and ESP8266, as well as the Raspberry Pi for high-level projects. The presentation also...
This project deals with the development of a smart real-time indoor (offices and family homes) air quality monitoring device based on Internet of Things (IoT). Environmental data from the sensor nodes are sent over the ZigBee wireless communication protocol, and after collection are subjected to careful statistical analysis for exposure risk assessment. The free XCTU platform application in...
Several years ago, Spencer Axani of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology designed and tested a very small, inexpensive cosmic ray detector that he named the Cosmic Watch. He also provided plans and resources to the public for anyone to build and use one. A little over a year ago, inspired by the TanQ project in Japan, the U.S. QuarkNet program built 48 of these detectors, which have been...
