ProCodeCG – BDV – codeMeetUp() #113 IoT Series Day #1 – 6 Nov 2017

Today ProCodeCG and BDV started Day #1 of codeMeetUp() IoT Series 🙂

Today we learned some intro about IoT, take a look at some devboards and sensors

We used devboard from DyCodeX: ESPectro ver 3 🙂 It is available on Makestro Shop 🙂

and then started to install Arduino IDE, drivers and ESPectro Libraries

As usual, the beginning is always painful because it takes time to download the libraries, and do the setting 🙂

We had kids in the class too 🙂

Everybody seemed to have fun, despite of the obstacles (different on every OS :D)

The first group successfully installed ESPectro library and make the LED blinks, plus turned neopixel off. They were given task to make neopixel blink but time was up so we had to continue next week 🙂

ESPectro32 is already available on Makestro Shop, to those who are interested 😉

See you next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Espectro Programming – 8 April 2017

Hello Saturday 🙂

Every Saturday kids report their progress or ongoing project 🙂 Koosha created an “operating system” using batch file 🙂

very interesting 🙂

Even Faris wanted to try it 🙂

Koosha finally find out how to change the colors of neopixel 🙂

Clarence came with lots of progress 🙂

He is still working on data visualization

He was asked to read a sensor and display the reading, and he did 🙂

Raul followed the handout very smoothly today 🙂 He finished all the task: button, button to serial monitor and neopixel 🙂

We had a newcomer: Danesh 🙂 Danesh Mom is a Coding Mom Alumni. She understands about coding so she was really helpful with the painful process of installing today :0

Don’t worry Danesh, we will use the toolkit as soon as we finish with this installation and setup process 🙂

We also had Gyan joining Espectro Class today 🙂 He also had to gone through painful process of installation and setting just like Danesh did 😀 We had to continue next week 🙂

Rafi finished his tasks too 🙂

Rafi looked so happy to see how neopixel changing colors like RGB LED 🙂

After 2 weeks of installation etc process, now it’s getting easier to do things with Espectro 🙂

A scene of friendship today in the class 🙂

We already have plans for next week 🙂 Will be reporting very soon 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Espectro Programming – 1 April 2017

We were still working on installing drivers, libraries and board for Espectro yesterday 🙂 The beginning is always hard and tricky 🙂

Espectro has been running well on Mama Ren’s laptop, so yesterday they tried to make Espectro work on Ren’s laptop

We had a newcomer, Rafli 🙂 He’d gone through all the steps, the only thing we hadn’t had time to figure out is Espectro configuration on Mac (we’ve done installation on several Mac’s but this one is a bit different)

We also installed Minecraft and Spigot Server for the next class while waiting the Espectro libraries downloading

Muhammad had successfully finished Espectro installation and configuration so he was on duty to help his friends 🙂

Muhammad and Mama Ren helped Raul with the final steps of configuration

Koosha and Dad realized they forgot to bring the Espectro, lucky that ProCodeCG has 2 Espectro 🙂

Rafi (on the left) was downloading handout to execute final step of Espectro configuration

A nice Saturday for tinkering like always 🙂

Hello Farrell 🙂 He was back after a while and he also forgot to bring his Espectro and toolbox 😀

So Farrell was doing some research about his sensor projects and a also about Minecraft Modding

Capt. Reza was given different task: to create Knight Rider pattern with Espectro on board neopixel 🙂

The folder where variants folder and boards.txt has to be copied to the other directory

Rafi’s neopixel worked! 🙂

All in all, we made progress with Espectro yesterday 🙂 There were also new friendship in the class 🙂

Kids 🙂 One day they hate each other the other day they play together LOL

We’re going to explore more things with Espectro next week 🙂 Don’t worry we will help kids who haven’t finished installation and configuration process 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Espectro Programming – 25 March 2017

Our first day with Espectro 🙂

Today the class was set up by Zahran + Dad and Muhammad 🙂 Many thanks 🙂

Awa was really happy to use a Macbook for the class today 🙂

But today was not easy

We had to install lots of libraries and drivers. It took so much time, so we had to continue installing next week

Luckily we had Koosha

and Reza in the class, they attended Espectro Training last week so they help the class to download and install the libraries and drivers

Well the first time is usually the hardest

None of these kids finished the setting today

But don’t worry we’ll finish it next week and will get that Espectro onboard LED blinking! 😉

We learned to blink LED on board new Espectro (ver 3)

Prof. Budi Rahardjo explained about how diode works

Founder of Makestro helped with library settings errors and amazed to see this kid finishing the tasks very fast 😀

Then we learned to activate neopixel on board

the setting is a little bit tricky but once we got it right, things work smoothly

Then we learned to use ProCodeCG LED to create Knight Rider effect with 6 LEDs

Then finally learned about MQTT

Lunch break

We installed MQTT Dash on Android devices to communicate with MQTT server

Testing to connect to Wifi via ESPectro

Connecting to MQTT

MQTT worked and we started to publish and subscribe from MQTT server from Android devices

Dad and kids having fun 🙂 Nice view 🙂

We’re planning to create a class to continue this one, probably next month 🙂

A great event that ProCodeCG is very proud to be part of! 🙂  See you next time 🙂

ProCodeCG invited to an IoT Sharing Session

Yesterday ProCodeCG was invited to an IoT Sharing Session at PAU ITB 🙂 When we arrived, it was already started (we were invited to be there at 10 but apparently they decided to started it earlier), and GeekNesia had just finished the presentation 🙂

The title of this IoT Sharing Session is “Ecosystem Establishment Towards IoT-Based Smart Devices Era”

Pak Trio Adiono, ST., MT., PhD from ITB gave some intro about the topic

There was Pak Joe Gianto from TSM Indonesia explaining about IoT in Indonesia and what is TSM Indonesia.

Silterra Malaysia shared about the IC manufacturing company

The ecosystem of Malaysian Semiconductor EE

Local players and multinationals

The location of Silterra. Should be placed on a location with the least risk of typhoon or earthquake, and have access to highly-educated technical labor source.

Long term strategies

Silterra’s role in the global IC market supply chain is quite impressive

Upgrading to Silterra 4.0

IoT is about being smart, aware and connected

Why should we care?

Contribution of E&E industry to Malaysian economy

The evolution of electronic industry

MyIOTC  is one of Silterra product – a platform for prototyping and commercialization of IoT products

MyIOTC incubates startups and provides IoT prototyping and manufacturing services

IoT Smart Meter and Smart Grid

Pak Ir. Budi Rahardjo, MSc., PhD. mentioned ProCodeCG as an educator of programming and technology that teaches IoT to kids, and probably in the future, to moms too. These are Clarence, a ProCodeCG Kid, and his mom, a ProCodeCG Coding Mum. The people in the room, especially the Malaysian couldn’t believe that ProCodeCG can teach such things to kids and moms 😀

Before Mr. Tang explained about his IC design company, he mentioned that each time he wanted to teach her wife anything, he got scolded 😀 So he totally had no idea how to teach moms these kind of things 😀

The company origin

Key features of the project

Mr. Tang is also leading the advanced ASIC design Business of AT&T Bell Laboratories

And next, Andri Yadi the CEO of DyCodeX!

Made in Indonesia 😉

He explains the IoT situations in Indonesia

The IoT players in Indonesia

One of DyCodeX product is Allegra. A custom-made, compact, autonomous IoT machine for delivering social engagement

People can take picture of anything with some certain tags on social media, and Allegra will collect and print all the pic with the registered tags 🙂

DyCodeX also has HomeX, a SmartHome platform. But apparently this one is also too ahead its time so this product has to wait until the market is ready.

HomeX is Home eXtended, extending a dumb home to a smart one

HomeX Lamp Adapter, so it can be controlled remotely with IoT

DyCodeX also has a smart gallon product that can send you sms when the water is almost empty, or call the store to send new stocks 🙂

The Gallon use Genuino MKR1000

DyCodeX also collaborate with FoodGasm

It also has a cloud Service

DyCodeX also designs wearable devices

The scene of Indonesia Maker

Maker Movement is…

Makestro Cloud (formerly iothub.id

Choosing hardware for IoT

DyCodeX Dev Board: ESPectro Core. Based on ESP8266

ProCodeCG LED and Key are also available at DyCodeX Makestro Store 😉

All of us 😉

Hopefully this sharing session will create greater opportunity for us to collaborate and make greater things! 😉

Questions and answers

While at the same time ProCodeCG also had a meeting with DyCodeX 🙂 This is Ria, IoT Developer from DyCodeX 🙂

We took a picture

And start tinkering with DyCodeX ESPectro Core 🙂 The driver worked just fine on Martin’s laptop.

But most of our students Windows laptop won’t install the driver automatically

So we had to go here and tofind the driver

After we got the driver then we discuss about the GPIO and other stuff

We had problems with reading the layout and need some clarification about the devboard design

It was just the right decision to have a meeting with DyCodeX while having Geeknesia CEO around. We discussed super important things about IoT

Thanks so much Geeknesia, we really have to collaborate one day! 🙂

ProCodeCG Coding Mum Batch 2 – Weekend – Day #15

Finally, the final day 🙂

We prepared the display and decided which Mum went first, etc. 🙂

One of the reviewer, CEO of Tinker Games, Muhammad Ajie Santika had arrived 🙂

The other reviewer, CEO of DyCode/DyCodeX, Andri Yadi had not arrived yet due to the heavy traffic jam so we waited for a while

Muh. Ajie Santika explained about TinkerGames, games industry, the trend and the spec of programmers needed by the industry.

We checked and the traffic wouldn’t let CEO of DyCode through to be able to arrived in short time so we started.

Bu Akiko created a website design for a cargo company. Actually this is for a real company, that is owned by her husband, so this work is so going to be implemented very soon 🙂

After listening very carefully

Mas Ajie gave lots of tips and advice on how to improve the design 🙂

Bu Rieny. Designed a website for a hotel

While on backstage… (speechless LOL)

Bu Diana had a very simple and sleek website design for Tupperware because she’s actually a reseller of the products

It was a very minimalist yet powerful design

Next: Bu Anug. A design of website for maternity

Next: Carol (not yet a mum because she was substituting her mom 😀 )

And yaaay, DyCode/DyCodeX CEO finally arrived!

Carol create a web design for people seeking for advices

Now we have 3 reviewers (one on the left is unofficial) 😀

The last but not least: Bu Yuti. She was working on a company profile website, which was a real project from a real client 😉

 

And yes, lots of questions and corrections from the reviewers 🙂 The reviewers were very helpful and supportive 🙂 They gave lots of feedback needed! 🙂 Thanks for coming 🙂

While kids were all over the place. Under the table..

on the bed

jumping on the bed

on the floor (earlier)

on the corners

on the back

on daddy’s lap

on the state of confusion (due to too many kids around LOL)

Dads were also everywhere 😀

The happy audience

DyCode/DyCodeX CEO explained about the company and what they expect from programmers 🙂

The explanation was quite intimidating but that’s only because DyCode/DyCodeX is a hardcore programming company 🙂

Time for certificates! Bu Akiko!

Bu Rieny!

Bu Diana!

Bu Anug!

Carol!

And Bu Yuti!

Mum and the reviewers 🙂

More of us! 🙂 (the supporters and mums from prev batch not included)

Congrats Mums! Now is the time to create! 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – ESPectro Core Intro – 24 Sep 2016

Today we introduced a new development board: DycodeX ESPectro Core to ProCodeCG Kids 😉 We were invited to Bandung Maker Day – DevBoard Showdown so we went to different venue and we had to load up our stuff to be set up at the new venue 🙂

We keep our inventory small and compact to make it portable 🙂

We went to the 3rd floor

And it was a wrong place LOL

DiLo Bandung had set us up a nice and cozy room on the 1st floor 🙂

We arrived 1 hour earlier so we had lots of time to set up

Most of the kids arrived early too (because we usually start the class at 9 am)

And yes, we loved the place!

We have parents helped us setting up too 🙂

Lucky that we have nice parents willing to help us all the time! 🙂

OK all set up!

ProCodeCG DevBoard Kit and ESPectro!

Prof. Budi Rahardjo welcoming the kids 🙂

Whooaaa lots of little makers 😉

We had parents on the back too! Giving us lots of support! 🙂

Prof. Budi Rahardjo explained about the layout of ESPectro

CEO of Perkakasku.com, Handi Limijaya was also there 🙂 He brought the twins to the class 🙂

We learned to “Hello World” ESPectro by blinking its onboard blue LED 🙂  We also tried the onboard button, turn on the NeoPixel LED and connect to MQTT 😉

No guns in class, sir, please! 😀 😀 😀

Ria, DyCodeX IoT Developer helped us to debug some errors and making sure the board works 🙂

We learned A LOT today! We have so much idea to do with ESPectro and will work on it!

DyCodeX One Day ESPectro Workshop – ToT for ProCodeCG

One of ProCodeCG Kids Coding Curriculum is to teach kids about IT and electronics, including Internet of Things 🙂

We always update our education materials and curriculum to provide kids with the most updated technology. That’s why we’re always doing research and educate ourselves to be able to deliver the knowledge to them 🙂

We are currently doing research on development boards, to see which one fits our curriculum.

These are (on breadboard) previous version of DyCodeX ESPectro and ProCodeCG LED Board), (on top left) Esspressif Board and (on top right) is Arduino Board.

Yesterday ProCodeCG joined a One Day ESPectro by DyCodeX

It was four of us: Budi Rahardjo (ProCodeCG Mentor), Marisa Paryasto (ProCodeCG CEO and Founder), Bernard Krisnandi Soetarman (ProCodeCG Kids Parent) and Clarence Soetarman (ProCodeCG Kids)

It’s us! 🙂

Getting ready. We brought ProCodeCG Arduino Kit because we’re going to add ESPectro board into it 🙂

The place, @DyPlex is a very nice place

Provided with coffee, snacks and fast internet connection 🙂

Before we started the workshop, DyCodeX formally gave the ESPectro boards to ProCodeCG

We have already ordered 10 ESPectro Core and 1 ESPectro Base 🙂

DyCode and DyCodeX CEO, Andri Yadi opened the workshop

(On the back) some crews of DyCodeX also joined the workshop 🙂

The instructor of the workshop, Ria (DyCodeX IoT Developer). She thought us how to get ESPectro Library from GitHub and copy them to our Arduino folders so we can compile and upload the code to our ESPectro Board

Andri Yadi showed us the features and details of the board. He explained about the design and how it works.

On the next session, Ali (DyCodeX IoT Developer) showed us how to make NeoPixel work and how to connect to MQTT

ESPectro Core works fine! It’s amazingly loaded with lots of features, including WiFi.

ESPectro Base offers much more. More GPIO’s, more sensors, more connections.

Prof. Budi Rahardjo explains to the rest of the class about the detail of MQTT connection code.

How our desk  looked like 😀

The codes

We all were fully loaded with new amazing things! Including this ProCodeCG Kids. He tried all what he had done with Arduino to ESPectro Core 🙂

So we can say that ESPectro Core has gone through QC Test by ProCodeCG Kids and it passed 😉

Us after the workshop 🙂

And interview afterwards 🙂

Now we’re going to prepare for this event tomorrow!

Be there!
