P2PU | A Hands-on Experience with Wireless Sensor Networks (#handsonwsn)

What you will need

In order to follow the course with success you will need the components that we are going to list below. It’s important that you try to get all or some of them before starting the course, because not having them can be an impediment to move forward in the lessons.

You can also visit a nearby makerspace as it is likely that they have most or all of the required material.

For your convenience we have added some links of online stores where you can buy each item :)

PARTS BIN - ESSENTIALS:

Arduino Leonardo Board* // www.arduino.cc -- Sparkfun: DEV-11286 -- Cookinghacks -- Ro-botica Ref. 2602
2x XBee 2mW Wire (or PCB) Antenna - Series 2 (ZigBee Mesh) // Sparkfun: WRL-10414 -- Cookinghacks -- Ro-botica Ref. 2644
2x XBee USB Adapters
2x XBee breakout boards
2x Breadboards // Sparkfun: PRT-12615 -- Cookinghacks
Jumper wires // Sparkfun: DEV-11286 -- Cookinghacks

*Note: Instead of the Arduino Leonardo you can use any other Arduino board you already have (UNO, Mega2560,...) Just make sure you have the USB cable needed for the type of connector that uses that model!

PARTS BIN - SOME SENSORS, ACTUATORS AND COMPONENTS:

*Note: The following list is an example of the most basic components and sensors that we will use in the course. If you want to go further and do more incredible projects you can include other components that are not listed here:
