Inspiration

This is something we've always wanted to have and decided to make it a reality.

What it does

It reads voltage, hall effect info, temperature and accelerometer data from a pocket sized device. The phone app reads the values in real time over Bluetooth and handles basic graphing. The latest version of the React Native appliction can also dictate the sensor values, and connects to the device in less than a second.

How we built it

We built from scratch a mobile app using React Native and employed the Arduino 101 to transmit data with the low level Bluetooth protocols.

Challenges we ran into

The data sent from the Arduino over Blueooth was a non-standard base 64 style encoding, and we had to construct our own custom parser to process the values.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Crafting an advanced Bluetooth implementation inside of a React Native app built without any boilerplate code.

What's next for Pocket Sensy

Publishing to the App Store and Google Play store so any hackers can build and read their own Pocket Sensys.
