mini-IoT (Internet of Things)

This experiment showcases a miniature version of the Internet of Things.

An Arduino UNO board and an Android device is used in this experiment. The android app communicates with the arduino wirelessly and turns on and off Light, Fan and Sound devices connected to the arduino. The Light,Fan and Sound devices are connected to the arduino via breadboard and wires respectively. The arduino receives power from the USB cable. PHP language is used to pass messages to the arduino using the serial com port of the PC via the USB cable.

The goal of this experiment is to demonstrate the flexibility and power of the android operating system when used together with the arduino UNO board. This experiment proves that anyone with basic programming skills can create something very useful.

Technologies:

Arduino, PHP, Android, Material Design, Recycler View, AppCompat, XAMPP server.
