Inspiration
This is aimed at making the lives of differently abled people easier. The differently abled community face a lot of difficulty in their everyday lives. This hack is designed to make some simple day to day tasks easier for them.
What it does
One of the arduinos will be placed in a small form factor device that they would be able to carry on their person. This would communicate with the other device using bluetooth serial communication. This would allow a person to switch on devices, turn lights and fans on or off, open doors etc. This would mostly help the phycsically challenged and the visually impaired. For the visually impaired a small form factor board like the arduino nano or raspberry pi pico could be mounted on the cane.
How we built it
I have designed a simple circuit in TinkerCad and written some basic code for it.
Challenges we ran into
Tinkercad doesn't have any bluetooth modules so I had to directly connect the serial input and output pins and it doesn't work for some reason.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I have built something in tinkercad that hopefully I'll be able to build in real life soon.
What we learned
Serial connection between two arduinos, bluetooth connection between two arduinos.
What's next for Smart Interface for Differently Abled
Maybe using a raspberry pi could allow us to add a camera and run an object detection model that would help the visually impaired navigate around.
