During the last decade, wireless communication technologies have become an essential
part of the mechatronic products. This project aims to give you a hands-on experience in
taking your Arduino projects to another level, where devices can talk to each other through
a distributed computing network.
In this project, you will learn:
How to realize wireless communications
How to connect the ‘cloud’ and utilise its’ resources
How to design for rapid prototyping with laser cutters
How to develop a wifi connected product
For this project, you will use:
esp8266 / nodemcu board
stepper/servo motors
Jumper cables
acrylic
A power supply
A photo interrupter (GP1A51HRJ00F)
Your main task is to develop a IoT roll printer that can connect to bluemix / node red to
receive information(e.g. weather) and print it out on a paper roll (‘bonrulle’), one character/
icon at a a time.
