Contexte et atouts du poste

The Inria AIO team works with the team of the Inria Museum to bring in a fun low-power wireless mesh network installation. It consists of 20 AIOT System board equipped with an ultra sonic range-finder, a buzzer and many LEDs. The goal of this internship is to finalize the code for that equipement, test it in the lab and install it in the museum. The next time to visit the museum, you'll be looking at things you will have built!

Mission confiée

You will be working together with Thomas Watteyne and Remy Taillefer to understand the needs of the museum, work on the fimware and the software, test the system thouroughly, then install it.

Principales activités

  • Get started with the AIOT System boards, how they work and how to program them.
  • Write simple standalone projects which interface with each of the peripherals (the LEDs, the buzzer, the PIR sensor, etc)
  • Put together a firmware image which interacts with all peripherals
  • Have the AIO Play boards connect wirelessly to the AIOT Gateway
  • Develop the software on the AIOT Gateway
  • Test the resulting system in the lab
  • Install the network at the Inria Museum

    • some understanding of software quality and project management tools (e.g. Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions)
  • good “soft” skills
    • we are looking for the “technical leader” type.
    • ideally, some prototyping experience (3D printing, laser cutting, PCB assembly, …). If you have built an automated watering solution for your house plants, let us know!
    • ideally, some open-source project experience, including source code and project management tools (Git, GitHub, etc)
