Inspiration
Sometimes controlling what you eat is hard.
How can you control how many calories you're intaking?
What it does
The user places food in a box. Using an app that gets the number of calories the user is expending, FoodLocker decides whether or not to unlock and allow the user to take food from this box.
How we built it
Using Java, we wrote an Android app that uses the Good Fit API to get how many calories the user is expending. If the user is a small number of calories away from the average number of calories an adult expends, it would tell the Arduino to unlock the locker via Bluetooth.
Challenges we ran into
The 3-D printer closed too early. We had difficulty figuring out how to allow the Arduino and the app communicate.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The app is working.
What we learned
Android developement, SolidWorks
What's next for FoodLocker
Connect the app to Arduino, 3-D print the box.
