Plataforma em material reutilizado, motorizada, controlada por arduino e aplicativo android

Abstract

This Project demonstrates how it is possible to connect a smartphone and a motorized platform, all developed with discarded and reused material. The platform has a set of digital and mechanical controllers, capable of receiving a command sent from a smartphone. A unique application has been developed with a high-level programming language that makes the connection to the platform, that receives a command and immediately executes it. The fact that cardboard was chosen as the base for the structure, was motivated by examples of vehicle designs, build with cardboard, and not the use of pre-built kits. The strategy posed as a major challenge to the Project development, as in addition to the implementation of the control technology, it was necessary to reuse discarded materials, such as the very mentioned cardboard, laptop batteries cells, old stereo parts, among others.For the development of the control application, was used Google’s development environment, MIT App Inventor, which is an Open Source environment accessible to all types of programmers, from beginners to professionals. It is concluded that there is a total possibility of integrating electronic control, traction and communication components with discarded materials, such as cardboard, as presented and used in this work.
