Tech Stack

The tech stack for this hackathon project was definitely a representative sample of hackathon-quality code :)

  • 3 magnets on a paint-roller that holds the TP
  • 1 reed switch that is activated when the pait roller rotates 1/3 of a revolution
  • 1 Raspberry PI with a python program on it that polls the reed switch, and posts a timestamp to a FireBase server
  • A web front-end with graphs that is pushed data from FireBase
  • An Android Wear app that notifies you of Toilet Paper Roll activity.... as you're using the TP roll.
