Capacitance-triggered PUSH notification for Arduino YUN
My entry for the Arduino Uno WiFi XMAS Contest 2015
What is it?
A Peer2Peer Photoframe that when touched, communicates with a Service that sends a PUSH notification to a phone: ‘I’m thinking of you’. This MVP was developed with the Arduino Yun, a capacitive layer (behind the photo), and the Pushover notification service.
Result?
Brings together loved ones separated by distance in a tactile way.
I touch the faces on my family’s photo - Instantly, anywhere in the world, they know I’m thinking of them.
HARDWARE
- Arduino YUN
- 2 LEDs for Status: Online/Ready & Sending (I soldered these to a test rig).
- Conductive material to create capactive 'aerial'. I used cardboard and Bare Conductive's Electric Paint
- Assorted wires
- Pushover account for notifications.
More information about the project can be found on my blog
