CENSIS, Inovo Building, 121 George Street, Glasgow G1 1RD

8.30am – 5:00pm

This is a one-day workshop running twice due to popular demand – 21 and 22 March)

THE WORKSHOP IS FULL ON 22 MARCH but we’ve added a new date on 21 March due to popular demand. Email now to register.  

Please join CENSIS, Anglia and STMicroelectronics for a free, interactive workshop; another in the series of seminars brought to you by the CENSIS IoT Centre.Background

The IoT Centre at CENSIS helps companies overcome many of the challenges they face in product development and allows them to fast-track the development of IoT products and services. In addition to a demonstration area and project development space, we offer regular technology seminars with high profile vendors to provide advice and guidance on how best to use their products to generate greater business efficiencies.

Who Should Attend?

The workshop is based around practical, hands-on sessions and is aimed at hardware and software engineers working on IoT applications who are looking to provide cloud connectivity via an LPWAN.

Regrettably the workshop is not suitable for current undergraduates or new graduates.

Objective

To provide participants with a working knowledge of STM32 development platform through a LoRa™ network to the Microsoft Azure cloud.

Background

This 1-day workshop includes 3 different hands-on training sessions directly from an STM32 expert on how to connect your IoT application to the cloud via a LoRa™ low-power wide-area network (LPWAN).

You will be working on an STM32 development platform that is fully LoRa™ and Sigfox compliant and learn how to create your own workspace on the Microsoft Azure cloud computing service.

Takeaways

  • How to set up an STM32 development environment
  • Technology guidance to connect your STM32-based application to an LPWAN
  • The basics of LoRa® and Sigfox technologies
  • Practical experience and examples to replicate at your premises
  • Direct contact with STM32 engineering staff

The workshop is based on the B-L072Z-LRWAN1 LoRa® Discovery kit.

All attendees will receive a complimentary Discovery kit that they can take home.  Watch the video on how to use the LoRa® Discovery kit.

Required Kit

You will need to bring your own laptop on the day. We will send you instructions on how to pre-load software before you attend. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
