Welcome to our very first project post! We’re excited to share the start of our journey in creating a custom embedded module platform built around the idea of being small, low-cost, and highly flexible for a wide range of IoT and sensing applications.
What We’re Building
Our project has two major components:
- Custom PCB Design – A reconfigurable board based on the ESP32 that future teams can adapt for different applications.
- Android Framework/API – A simple, powerful interface that allows mobile devices to seamlessly communicate with the hardware.
What’s Next
PCB Development
- Design new PCBs tailored for future consumer needs.
- Expand functionality by adding new modules and sensors.
- Enable wireless usage by integrating a battery and charging system.
- Prototype iteration: order, solder, and test new board versions.
- Compact design goal: work toward making the board as small and efficient as possible.
Frontend/Backend Development
- Enhance the Android app to better display and control all inputs and outputs.
- Test end-to-end communication between the app and the board hardware.
- Redesign the ComIoT website for improved usability and project visibility.
- Bluetooth integration: Connect the Google Pixel to the board for mobile interaction.
- Set up a virtual machine to host the build server and support testing environments.
