Electronics 101 for IoT Developers

Many of the early obstacles that kept people away from diving in to IoT development have been addressed by the growing community of IoT manufacturers and developers. The main barrier to entry now seems to be a basic understanding of electricity and electronics. Reading a component's data sheet can be scary, and many people are just hopelessly confused when things like current, voltage and resistance become important to the fate of a project.   Having received my bachelor's degree in Physics, I learned more about electricity and magnetism and electronics than I ever thought I'd use. Now that I've been dabbling in IoT development, I've found that a lot of this information is proving very useful. In this session, I'll relay the basics of electricity and electronics to help make this part of the IoT world a little less intimidating.
