The Library i-Space aims at providing easy-to-use digital equipment for students to construct knowledge proactively through hands-on learning experience. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the i-Space has created self-learning videos and recorded i-Space webinars and hands-on workshops. You can follow these online self-learning resources to learn the emerging technologies and build your own prototypes.

This self-learning video, How to operate a vinyl cutter, is a companion learning resource for the Vinyl cutter DIY manual. You have to download the manual here (PolyU/CPCE staff and students only) to read the information which are not fully covered in this video. Using cutting paper stickers as an example, you will learn how to operate the vinyl cutter at the Library's i-Space. |

Powerful Feature in cloud platform - Adafruit IO Cloud
The API that drives user interface is available. The data can be stored, managed, controlled, and downloaded anytime. Charts, graphs, gauges, logging, and more features are available from anywhere in this designed web-based dashboard. Trigger function can monitor your data and notify you when your temperature sensor gets too hot or when your DIY security system goes offline. Come and Join this webinar recoding if you are interested to build your own IoT project.
About the speaker:
Silas Hung is a professional electronic engineer for 25 years. He specializes in electronic engineering, material analysis and photonics analysis. He founded Cloud-LED lighting technology limited in recent years. He has published over 20 academic articles mainly on the application of nanomagnetic structures. In addition, he designed “Smart Home” teaching courses and electronic educational kit for schools, hoping that the new generation will still love technology and engineering.
In this webinar, Declan Leung, a student from the Department of Computing will share how he designs the tailor-made application on Internet of Things (IoT): Smart Home Prototype. The prototype of the smart home consists of a series of IoT controllers and smart sensors. An IoT controller can automatically turn on or off electronic appliances such as air-conditioner, based on the temperature collected by environmental sensors.
He has not only learned the essentials of being a professional programmer as “smart home” requires the connection between data networking and home appliance devices, but he has also taken a leading role in his IoT team project.
About the speaker:
Declan Leung, a 4th year undergraduate student from the Department of Computing and pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Enterprise Information Systems. He has a strong interest in IoT, and participated in variuos workshops and student projects of MakerMindset Programme@i-Space.
An Internet-of-Thing (IoT) component can be configured to collect real-time environmental data. This workshop will teach you how to make a small scale weather monitoring station by integrating ESP8266 board with a temperature and humidity sensor. You could monitor the real-time and historical environmental data remotely over the cloud platform.
In this workshop, you will learn:
The detailed procedure and source files are available for download (PolyU staff and students only). You can try out and build your own IoT controller.
