2025, Master of Science in Engineering, Youngstown State University, Rayen School of Engineering.
Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as thermostats, lighting systems, and fitness trackers, have revolutionized both residential and industrial environments, enabling users to remotely control and manage them. Although many IoT devices are often manageable through Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) software applications, overseeing devices from various OEM origins simultaneously, or even customized hardware, can be complex and tedious. To address this challenge, an IoT gateway serves as a centralized hub that supports wireless connectivity across various protocols. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a widely adopted wireless communication protocol in low-power-consuming devices such as sensors, is therefore employed in many IoT gateways. Large-scale IoT networks significantly benefit from an IoT gateway, as it provides a unified management point for all connected devices. OEMs of IoT gateways may offer a software development kit (SDK) to facilitate application customization, enabling the attainment of specific design requirements. This thesis presents the design, development, and implementation of two software applications to acquire real-time sensor data from custom BLE-enabled printed circuit boards (PCBs). Leveraging an IoT gateway, its compatible SDK, and a library of sample programs, two applications are developed to monitor sensor data: a serial terminal interface and a dynamic web-based dashboard.
