Inspiration
We were inspired by our own experiences at public spaces such as Berkeley's beautiful yet packed libraries.
What it does
It provides a layout of seats within a public space, with color indicators to show whether or not seats are occupied.
How we built it
Hardware: Raspberry Pi and Grove digi-keys (LEDs and button) Software: Python and JavaScript
Challenges we ran into
Syncing the time on the Raspberry Pi as well as figuring out how to implement the hardware in conjunction with our firestore database.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were proud of figuring out how to use the Raspberry Pi in conjunction with the Grove components.
What we learned
We learned that hardware isn't as hard as it seems.
What's next for CheatSeat
Improving aesthetics as well as visibility of LED status. Adding a reservation system as well as notifications for users when a seat becomes unoccupied.
