Whether you are working in an office or simply at home, the desk drawer is the go to place for small but important supplies. Its happened to all of us: You go to the drawer to get an item, whether that be a stamp, paperclip, or a piece of paper. You open the drawer only to find the item missing. Running to the store for such a small item is such a hassle, so you either get by with out it or waste precious time.
With the Smart Drawer, your essential office supplies are electronically monitored with the Particle Core, an IoT development board with WiFi. The board monitors your AA batteries with a break beam sensor, post it notes and paper clips with photoresistors, tape with a switch, stamps with a rotary encoder, and office paper with a load cell. When an item is running low, the Particle Core will make a request to the Amazon Cloud and automatically place an order for you, along with notifying you by email.
All of parts are 3D printed in ABS and welded together with acetone. For a full write up on this project check out my project page on Hackster: https://www.hackster.io/Mach_5/iot-smart-desk-drawer-with-amazon-drs-4bc528
