Study Notes
Cisco Packet Tracer for IoT Simulation
- Cisco Packet Tracer is a simulation tool for IoT devices and systems.
- It lowers costs and time compared to real-world implementation.
- Supports routers, switches, smart things, and components like microcontrollers (MCUs) and system-on-a-chip (SBCs).
- Basic devices communicate through analog or digital slots.
- Supports boards, actuators, and sensors.
- Device customization is possible via a programming tab (e.g., LED control).
Computer Network Fundamentals
- Computer networks use logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses).
- Protocols define data transfer rules.
- Ports facilitate communication between applications.
- IP addresses identify network devices (examples needed).
- Subnet masks and prefixes delineate network segments.
- Static routing, a way to define routes manually.
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses.
IoT Gateways
- IoT gateways facilitate communication between smart devices and external networks.
- They act as translators, converting various device protocols to a standard format.
- Gateways filter and process sensor data to reduce the load on other systems.
- Other functions include device connectivity, security, updating, and management.
- Gateways are crucial for managing the growing data volume from interconnected devices.
Home Gateway Placement
- Locate the Home Gateway under Network Devices > Wireless Devices.
ESP32 Microcontroller
- The ESP32 is a popular microcontroller for IoT applications.
- Developed by Espressif Systems.
- Features include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, low power use, and a comprehensive peripheral set.
- ESP-WROOM-32 module, IO pins (15 each side), micro-USB, enable button, boot button, power LED (red), user LED (blue, connected to GPIO2), and passive components are part of the board.
