Original Concept

The original concept of the refills solution of our IoT system is to monitor the amount of particular materials that are located in the studio. Through weight sensing, the system will monitor the material usage and display what materials are stocked to low, medium, or high level. When a material reaches a low level, the system will also request items to be restocked through an email to Candice. Additionally, the material storage devices are lit with color changing LEDs that can change in accordance with what material is placed inside.

Our process sketches conceptualized two types of storage, both misshapen and flat storage. This allows for multiple types of materials to be monitored within the system at one time.

This sketch diagrams the 10 pin LED display with 560 ohm resistors.

The LED displays are used to express whether the amount of material held in the system is at low, medium, or high levels.

The servo, push-button, LED system works as a way to choose your selected material from the series of buttons which in turn moves the servo to the appropriate location. If the buttons are pressed and held, the system is calibrating and the LED lights to alert the user that calibration is set.

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Spark Core library to control WS2811/WS2812 based RGB
  LED devices such as Adafruit NeoPixel strips.
  Currently handles 800 KHz and 400kHz bitstream on Spark Core,
  WS2812, WS2812B and WS2811.
  Also supports:
  - Radio Shack Tri-Color Strip with TM1803 controller 400kHz bitstream.
  - TM1829 pixels

  PLEASE NOTE that the NeoPixels require 5V level inputs
  and the Spark Core only has 3.3V level outputs. Level shifting is
  necessary, but will require a fast device such as one of the following:
