Inspiration
We were given mostly random hardware components and had to use come up with the best idea with limited resources
What it does
It scans the perimeter of a room by hugging the walls, making adjustments and turns as needed and detecting corners of the room. Those points are sent wirelessly to a server on the local network and put into a python function to graph the coordinates. This data can then be furthered into a web app to display it and control any additional functions.
How we built it
We used a rover with ultrasonic sensors that is able to track the distance between specified points. We tried to use a wifi module for an Arduino UNO to send the data. The data is processed in Python and then sent to an HTML file for UI.
Challenges we ran into
Hardware and Technical issues, wireless data transfer, React API, movement functions, and staying awake.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We covered a lot of different areas of technology, all with their own distance challenges
What we learned
We learned about hardware integration with Arduino, web development, and data transfer over the internet.
What's next for Area Finder Robot
Include more functionality, power supply enhancement, and linking all of the components together.
