1. Belajar IoT : Pengenalan IoT

Introduction

This tutorial introduces the basics of the Internet of Things (IoT) as presented in the video by Muhammad Yunus. It covers essential concepts, applications, and how to get started with IoT projects, specifically focusing on the ESP8266 module, which is widely used for connecting devices to the internet.

Step 1: Understand IoT Basics

• Definition: The Internet of Things refers to a network of physical devices connected to the internet, enabling them to collect and share data.
• Components: Familiarize yourself with key components of IoT:
  • Devices: Sensors, actuators, and controllers.
  • Connectivity: Technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular.
  • Data Processing: Cloud services or local servers where data is analyzed and processed.
• Applications: Explore various real-world applications of IoT:
  • Smart homes (lighting, security).
  • Health monitoring (wearable devices).
  • Industrial automation (monitoring equipment).

Step 2: Introduction to ESP8266

• What is ESP8266?: A low-cost Wi-Fi microchip with full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability, ideal for IoT projects.
• Features:
  • Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity.
  • Can be programmed using the Arduino IDE.
• Common Uses:
  • Controlling devices remotely via the internet.
  • Collecting sensor data and sending it to the cloud.

Step 3: Setting Up Your Development Environment

• Install Arduino IDE:
  • Download from the official Arduino website.
  • Follow installation instructions based on your operating system.
• Add ESP8266 Board to Arduino IDE:
  • Open Arduino IDE and go to File > Preferences.
  • In the "Additional Board Manager URLs" field, add the ESP8266 board URL.
  • Navigate to Tools > Board > Board Manager, search for "ESP8266," and install it.

Step 4: Connect ESP8266 to Your Computer

• Wiring: Use a USB-to-Serial converter to connect the ESP8266 to your computer.
• Select the Right Port:
  • In Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Port and select the port corresponding to the ESP8266.

Step 5: Write Your First Program

• Basic Code Example: To blink an LED connected to the ESP8266, use the following code:

  void setup() {
    pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
  }
  
  void loop() {
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
    delay(1000);                      // Wait for a second
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);  // Turn the LED off
    delay(1000);                      // Wait for a second
  }
  

• Upload the Code:
  • Click on the upload button in Arduino IDE. Ensure the correct board and port are selected.

Step 6: Explore Sensor Integration

• Using Temperature Sensors:
  • Connect a temperature sensor (like DHT11) to the ESP8266.
  • Use libraries available in the Arduino IDE for reading sensor data.
  • Example code to read temperature:

  #include "DHT.h"
  #define DHTPIN 2
  #define DHTTYPE DHT11
  
  DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
  
  void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);
    dht.begin();
  }
  
  void loop() {
    delay(2000);
    float h = dht.readHumidity();
    float t = dht.readTemperature();
    Serial.print("Humidity: ");
    Serial.print(h);
    Serial.print(" %\t");
    Serial.print("Temperature: ");
    Serial.print(t);
    Serial.println(" *C");
  }
