Inspiration
Many of us across campus are united by dorms without air conditioning. During the summer days, we must keep fans on to regulate the humidity. However, as the temperature drops at night, many of us are forced to wake up to turn off our fans. Having this cool feature will allow us to finally get a good night's sleep.
What it does
Our project uses the SenseHat feature on the Raspberry Pi to collect data on relative humidity and temperature. We used this data to calculate the dew point and ensure that a fan successfully regulated the temperature at night. We used firebase to manage the data and a website to manage the user's humidity preferences.
How we built it
React Bootstrap Python Firebase
Challenges we ran into
Downloading OS onto SD card of Raspberry Pi Using Firebase Using JavaScript Understanding the relationship between humidity and temperature
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning new languages Making new friends Making our program update in real time
What we learned
With friends and perseverance, anything is possible Javascript is difficult to master in one day Firebase is cool Python is very similar to Java
What's next for Hello-World-Project-1
We would like to make this program accessible for all Purdue students. In addition, we would like to integrate our product with smart products in today's market.
