About

Created an app which is integrated with an arduino and photon wifi kit through a CRUD API with javascript to communicate whether or not a shelf is stocked with the idea of helping retail workers/companies sell more products by keeping shelves stocked.

Software used

• Java & XML through Android Studio for the app
• Photon IDE for integrating the arduino and photon wifi kit
• Javascript for the server & web address that the app reads from and prints from

Hardware used

• Photon wifi kit
• Arduino & related resistors and supplies
• Ultrasonic sensor to detect empty shelves

Additional Information

The github repo is arranged as 3 portions:

1. The javascript server folder (titled JSServer)
2. The photon code hardware integration folder (titled PhotonCode)
3. The app files (rest of the files aside from the above folders)
