Summary¶

Show a server node managing an IoT node. The server node should be a Raspberry Pi running PiBox with the Media Server UI and the IoT should be a board utilizing an Atmel or similar chip capable of controlling a physical device. The physical device should be a vent whose fins can be opened and closed with the IoT device. The server node and IoT node should communicate over WiFi or, possibly, Bluetooth.

The goal of this phase of development is to prove we understand enough about the following concepts to produce a minimal viable product (MVP).

• Server OS
• UI implementation
• Wireless communication
• Microcontroller platform hardware integration
• Microcontroller programming
• Control of mechanical devices, specifically motors
