User's Guide
Students book a device (or multiple devices) exclusively. Each device has specific hardware and programming features, which are provided in the documentation.
There is usually a limited time for device booking, e.g. 2 hours per booking.
Students author the code in the web-based editor; depending on the platform, this may also require authoring some configuration files (e.g., platformio.ini, makefile, etc.).
Once the code is ready, it can be compiled, and if the compilation is successful, it can be uploaded to the device.
Results can be observed via the web camera, presenting device close to real time.
Several instances of this software are implemented across consortium partners (details are on IOT-OPEN.EU and IOT-OPEN.EU Reloaded Main Page, but perhaps the one you may want to start from is an instance implemented in SUT, shared with TalTech, itSilesia and ITT Group: SUT's VREL NextGen.
How to Start
Student needs to create an account, virtually as in any other web application (figure 1):
Once the account is created, check your mailbox for an activation link. Activate your account and log in to the system.
Devices' Availability
Devices are booked exclusively.
A limited number of devices is available for everyone.
Other devices are provided solely for consortium members.
Don't hesitate to contact the supervisor of your labs if you are a consortium student using this laboratory equipment during your regular course and you cannot see other devices than public: you were not added correctly to the student's group.
