Learn About Simulating an IoT Home Security System With Tinkercad

As the Internet of Things (IoT) grows in popularity and transforms how we use connected devices, it may be essential for those in relevant technical areas to understand more about what it is and its functionality. We have put together a series of short skill-building videos to help you develop your skills, in this case, related to IoT.

In this video, Dr. Waksmanski-Krynski will walk you through a home security simulation using Tinkercad. The whole system will be set up using IoT. She will use the Arduino UNO microcontroller as the smart hub and connect a motion sensor and other devices such that an alarm is triggered when movement is detected.

What You'll Learn

Dr. Waksmanski-Krynski talks through this video series to help you:

Gain insights into the integration of software and hardware as it is related to the IoT
Learn how to wire components together
Learn how to program those components in order to simulate a home security system

This video series is for those who are interested in learning how to build and program circuits, but do not have a physical Arduino to tinker with. No prior coding or hardware knowledge is required.
