E-paper-plane

Overview: 🔗

This project introduces an innovative gesture-controlled paper airplane attachment system, developed with the ESP8285. It operates via a smartphone connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, enabling intuitive gesture-based controls.

Technology stack:🔗

• Smartphone Control: Developed a mobile application using MIT App Inventor that innovatively controls the paper airplane by interpreting smartphone gyroscope data. Crafted an intuitive and user-friendly interface in App Inventor, enhancing user interaction experience and enabling easy mastery over paper airplane control.
• ESP8285 and Sensor Integration: Leveraged the ESP8285 microcontroller's Wi-Fi capabilities for wireless communication between the mobile app and the airplane attachment, integrating the MPU6050 sensor to aid flight control logic.
• Wi-Fi Communication: Designed and implemented a TCP/UDP-based communication protocol, ensuring timely and accurate transmission of control commands between the mobile app and the airplane attachment.
• Rhino Software for Product Design: Utilized Rhino software for the aesthetic and functional design of the product, ensuring a simple yet elegant appearance that facilitates ease of production. Incorporated a detachable propeller guard into the design, enhancing safety during use. This feature is particularly important for ensuring the safety of children during operation and play, making the product suitable for younger users.
