Hello all, this is an introduction post to Team 5 for Madrid seminar 2022. Our group of students from Haaga-Helia UAS will go to Madrid seminar to teach other students how to build an IoT device that sends GPS, temperature etc. data to the server and displays the information on the map.
Team 5 has only 1 member because the other member, unfortunately, couldn’t join the seminar.
I’m a third-year semester student at Haaga-Helia UAS. I’m pursuing the Software Engineering pathway and I’m a Full-stack Developer. I decided to take part in the seminar due to my recent interest in IoT devices. Before the course, I thought a person has to be a mastermind to create an IoT device but I was wrong 😆. The teacher proves that it’s pretty easy to create such device and even if you don’t know C++, you can still survive.

Our team responsibility is connecting the ESP32 to WLAN and write messages to a text file that is located on our server. Our part was not too difficult, everything was quite smooth and we didn’t have any big issues. This part can be broken down into several steps:
- Connecting ESP32 to Arduino through computer’s USB port
- Installing required libraries in Arduino
- Write the code and transfer it to ESP32
- Run the code and monitor the process from Arduino’s Serial Monitor
The steps assume that you already have a server setup that could receive GET and POST requests.
Here is how the ESP32 looks
The code for this part will be posted later in another post. Stay tuned and thanks for reading! 😄
