What is this Project about?

The goal of this study is to design and develop a modular Kit in the form of a plug-and-play approach. The board's design is intended to completely suit non-engineering students learning and using this board for their project or learning session with lecturers! What I make is a Modular IoT kit with a Sensor that can be plugged in like a Lego! The XIAO RP2040 features multiple programming support and is ready to read the sensor on the go, making it ideal for Computer Science students studying Embedded Programming. I also embedded and programmed a multimeter function capable of measuring voltage, capacitance, and resistance.

The Problem Statement

Non-Engineering Students have difficulties in learning and exploring electronics as for them it's very COMPLICATED!

The Objective

• A Simplified Modular Sensor with a plug-and-play style featuring a Grove Port Sensor
• A Kit that embeds a simple multimeter
• A Modular IoT Kit that simplifies everything for them to begin the electronic fundamental (Just imagine the Arduino but it combines with Seeed!)

The Modular IoT Kit Board Overview

The Board contains the following chip and modules I use from Seeed Studio.

Conclusion

What comes next? They are being upgraded to the next better version. As of now, this board has been used in KKTM Petaling Jaya with a number of students having them; the board has received positive feedback on how it helps new electronic students quickly learn about microcontrollers and electronics!
