Embedded Systems Competition 2017 - WND IoT Challenge
The Embedded Systems Competition 2017 is a competition open to undergraduate and graduate students, providing the opportunity to develop intelligent and innovative Systems and contribute to the evolution of this segment of Computing in Brazil. This year the competition is being sponsored by WND, SIGFOX, ARM, and BAITA and the focus is the development of Embedded Systems for IoT Applications.
The selected teams will receive the OM2385/SF001 - OL2385 Wireless sub-GHz Transceiver SIGFOX Development Kit with KL43Z for the project preparation.
During development, each team will have to produce two reports: one “draft” to be delivered early (September, 20th) and another “final” closer to the end of the project's development (October 30th ), Afterward, if qualified, the project will be presented at SBESC, which will be held in Curitiba, Paraná - Brazil.
