Are you curious about how IoT development works? Have you been thinking about building an IoT project? Or maybe you're already an experienced hardware hacker looking to take your skills to the next level?
Join resin.io for a workshop + hackathon and learn how to build IoT projects using powerful development tools from the web and cloud. We'll use Docker and resin.io to write, build & deploy software for Raspberry Pis to control LEDs, take input, read from sensors, and more. We'll share some sample projects to get you started, but what you build is completely up to you!
For this workshop you will be using a Raspberry Pi 3 with a Sense HAT. As an attendee you need to bring a laptop you can develop on, but you'll receive all the IoT hardware required, both to use in the workshop and to keep for yourself afterwards, so you can continue with your projects later.
FAQs
Will there be food provided?
Yes, we will provide lunch, and plenty of snacks, drinks, and coffee.
Do I need to bring a laptop at the hackathon?
Yes, please bring your own laptop to the hackathon! And don't forget a charger.
Can I bring my own hardware to use at the hackathon?
Definitely! It helps, though, if you check what sort of devices are currently supported on resin.io. And remember that we'll have hardware kits available for all attendees to use and keep.
How can I prepare myself for the hackathon?
If you're completely new to resin.io and/or the Internet of Things, don't worry! We'll go step-by-step through everything you need to get started. However, if you want to make the most of your time and the expertise we'll have on hand, there are a few things you can do beforehand to hit the ground running:
Know the basics of working in a Linux terminal
Install Git and learn a few basics. We'll use Git to deploy code to your devices
Install Etcher. Etcher will be used to flash your SD card with resinOS
Generate a public SSH key. This is needed to securely git push to resin.io
Create a resin.io account
Create an application for the Raspberry Pi 3 device type, and download the latest resinOS image. We recommend you download both a .dev and a .prod image to use at the hackathon.
With this list completed, you'll have all the tools you need to dive into the workshops.
