• Researched and developed a prototype industrial IoT/internet of things sensor that transmitted the signal (digital/analog) values continuously from an IoT MCU to a smart phone application using BLE communications. Lab demo was used as a proof of concept for a factory industrial use case. Learnings: hands on experience in creating a smart sensor, maker programming language to program MCU, BLE communications, network/cloud/applications and FCC testing requirements. • Programmed the IoT MCU with C/C++ language. MCU code contained various functions to provide the user with notifications of the system status and alarm the user when action was needed. • Took IoT demos to FCC testing facilities and obtained reports needed for transportation or showcasing use case outside of lab environments. • Presented/showcased demo to upper management. • Use case was handed over to IoT vendors for sensor development.
