Primary LanguageC++

COMPONENTS USED

NodeMCU - Think of it as a WiFi module + GPIO pins OR Arduino with integrated WiFi MPU6050 - Gyroscope + Accelerometer + Thermometer. All use MEMS technology A bunch or wires and LEDs

LIBRARIES NEEDED BY ARDUINO/

For the NodeMCU to connect and all to work properly, the libraries in here need to be transfered to Arduino Libraries folder.

The complete project\Backend\The_Project_Final

Contains one .ino file to be run on the NodeMCU. This turns the NodeMCU into a TCP server which sends data to a client every 1sec **You should know: ** The NodeMCU lacks a easily usable library to work with MPU6050, hence code to do direct I2C communication had to be written

USAGE

  1. Prepare the environment
  2. Perform connections:
SCL - D6
SDA - D7

LED to show WiFi connected - D1
LED to show client connected - D5
  1. Run the code on NodeMCU
  2. Connect a phone or PC to the same WiFi as NodeMCU
  3. Access '192.168.88.90' on your device. Data should start streaming in.

TODO

  1. Create a VueJS frontend that queries for data from the TCP server periodically and updates a table
