#Introduction
This is a repo for a project at Wildhacks 2015, 11/21 - 11/22/2015, at Northwestern University.
The team members are Shayne Hemminger (Louisville), Jon Tan (Waterloo), Jack Wu (Northwestern), and Aditya Dhingra (Purdue).
#####We are building a remote, cloud-streaming camera for mobile viewing.
###We are using:
-
Microcontroller: Particle Photon (Arduino-compatible WiFi development board)
-
Camera: Omnivision 7670 camera that is easily Arduino-compatible
-
Cloud server: Amazon Web Services EC2
-
Mobile development: Android Studio
###The programming languages we use are:
-
C, for Arduino/Photon
-
Python,
-
Swift, for iOS
###The APIs we are using:
-
CloudSight API - image recognition
-
Braintree API - payments
-
Walgreens - take photo and print it
-
Postmates - deliver that picture
###The prizes we are aiming for include:
-
Belvedere's hack that facilitates communication - cloud video throughput can communicate hand signals over the internet
-
IBM Bluemix - cloud tool for possibly sending 1 aspect of the process
-
Microsoft Azure - cloud tool for possibly sending 1 aspect of the process
-
Braintree - take payments to take a picture
-
Walgreens - take a picture from the camera and print it
-
Postmates - deliver that picture (to us?)
-
Social need - Blackmail
-
Punniest name - "CamerAzure"
###The equipment we have are:
-
Many Arduinos (UNO, Mega 2560, Nano, Pro Mini - Jackie, Jon)
-
2 Particle Photons (Jackie)
-
Wires and wire cutter (Jackie)
-
Other electrical equipment, like breadboards, wires, resistors (Jackie, Jon)
-
Cameras like OV7670 with FIFO, without FIFO, and others (Jackie)
