Project Description Heading link
“This is a system composed of four Arduino subsystems, each serving a distinct purpose and influencing the way each other system behaves. The systems are:
1. An alarm clock
2. A water drinking timer
3. A board which acts as a weather station
4. A Master Arduino which controls how the others are allowed to interact with each other
Subsystems 1-3 are connected through Subsystem 4. They communicate with each other through the Master Arduino, which is essentially a “”settings menu”” for the other three and a bridge for them to pass data back and forth. The alarm clock can be set by the user and will go off at the specified time, in addition to displaying the weather. The water tracker is a timer that starts when the alarm clock goes off, prompting the user to take a drink of water at a selected interval. The weather board is where the weather and temperature is selected–this acts as a weather station sending data to a connected device, like a phone. The Master board has settings which will allow the weather board’s data to affect the others–If the weather is snowy, the alarm clock will wake the user up fifteen minutes early, since they may need to prepare their vehicle. If the temperature is above 80 degrees F, the water tracker will prompt the user to drink water more often. These are toggleable behaviors that are controlled via the Master board.”
