A Fridge Magnet
Versione del 16 mag 2013 alle 11:37 di Renzo (discussione | contributi)
This is the implementation of the idea to create an electronic fridge magnet.
What is that?
- It is a battery operated Display
- A radio wireless connection provides the contents to show
It can be used as a "Internet of Things" implementation of a fridge magnet to show important or interesting information for the family, but can be used as a price/special offer label on the front side of shop shelves.
Here is a picture of the prototype to whet your appetite:
The components used in this prototype are:
- a JeeNode v6 (18.5 euros)
- an e-paper display (29 euros)
- a 23k236 32KB RAM (1.61 euro)
- a jeelabs proto board (3.50 euros)
- AA Power Board (14.5 euros)
- pin stripes, copper wire, ...
- patience (unvaluable)
The total cost for a unit is around 70 euros (plus shipping costs from several suppliers etc).
The following parts are needed to upload the software and to send the images to our display (or to several displays):
- JeeLabs USB interface (13.5 euros)
- another JeeNode v6 (18.5 euros) or a JeeLink (32.5 euros).
